This is the output of elementclient.exe from the time its started to the time
it crashes

Perfectworld has just updated their game called Perfectworld with an expansion
called Genesis (not as silly as it sounds - they have other games).

I've been playing the game without problems for the last couple of years.
However, after this most recent update I am experiencing a great many problems.
The short of it is that after I login and try to enter the game, the game
crashes. The output is included in the attachement.

I hope that we can work together to fix the issues that are making trouble,
because after 2 really fun years with the game, it would be a real shame to
have to stop playing it.

*****************************************
OBSERVATIONS WHILE TRYING TO RUN THE GAME
*****************************************
The game client is called elementclient.exe and symptoms when running under kde
4.6 and gnome are quite different. I've tested this with and without
compositing.

I'm using Fedora 14 with wine 1.3.14

The visible symptoms are as follows.

**** LOADING SCREEN *************
WITH KDE:
---------
The loading screen comes up and as the progress bar progresses the screen
flickers after some delay the login sequence begin

WITH GNOME:
-----------
The loading screen comes up and things seems to progress smoothly and with no
delay the login sequence begins

******** LOGIN ********
The login sequence begins with an animated sequence which can be escaped out of
to login.

WITH KDE
--------
The animation starts fine but then before getting to the login screen the
program will freeze for a bit. Sometimes the login screen appears. Sometimes it
does not

WITH GNOME
----------
The animation starts and continues smoothly until the login sequence begins


****** CHARACTER SELECTION ******
WITH KDE
--------
After quite a long delay the character selection screen comes up, usually the
background is completely black. Sometimes the graphics comes up. Sometimes the
screen completely freezes. Sometimes the elements that allow me to select
characters and enter the game appears. If successful, then the Entering the
Game sequence begins.

WITH GNOME
----------
The character selection screen comes up smoohly and I am able to select which
character I would like to enter the game with. I am then able to start the
Entering the Game sequence.

*********** Entering the Game ***********
WITH KDE
--------
Again.... Sometimes I get the Entering the Game Screen. Sometimes the game
freezes at this point. If the client sucessfully begins to enter the game, then
the screen with progress bar flickers. and then the game crashes.

WITH GNOME
----------
The client goes to the Entering the Game Screen. The screen's animation seems
to work smoothly and then, probably, as the client transits into the game, the
client crashes.


I hope we can get is fixed.
