Wine throws up a crash dialogue when starting the game: Armored Fist 3 (from
Novalogic). The problematic executable is binkplay.exe which is intended to
play the intro video. Interestingly, after pressing on <Close> in the crash
dialogue, the game continues to load and starts up correctly.

A +relay log reveals the game comes with a binkplay.exe which is compressed
with Shrinker v3.3. 

There is an already fixed bugreport here on Bugzilla which dealt with a similar
issue: that's bug #2608.
In case it's a regression I tried the game in 1.1.7. The crash still occurs in
1.1.7 for me (it can be seen in the terminal) , but without a crash dialogue.

A possible workaround: replace the bundled binkplay.exe with an un-shrinked one
(e.g from RAD Game tools). Now Wine plays the intro video fine, without a
crash.

There are several more Novalogic games that come with the same shrinked
binkplay.exe, so this bug might affect more than one game (Delta Force 2,
Tachyon).

The Delta Force 2 demo uses the same shrinked binkplay.exe (md5 checksums are
the same), so you can check out the issue using this demo (link added to URL).
Note: 'winetricks ie6' is needed to start the demo correctly (because of its
launcher).

Fedora 13 x86
Wine-1.2-rc7
