Hello folks,

this older game has Safedisc 1.x based copy protection.
I found a download for this old game which has both, the original .exe and
"fixed" one.

Protection ID scan gives:

If you are using a WINEPREFIX with default WinVer "Windows XP" you are running
into bug 21147

The app crash you are getting is a manifestation of this bug.

The SafeDisc 1.x driver "secdrv.sys" doesn't support Windows version > Windows
2000 by design.
You must adjust the version for the WINEPREFIX this game is installed in to
"Windows 2000" (winecfg)!

Many Wine appdb entries for SafeDisc 1.x games spread misinformation still
stating that cracks are required.

===

You are also installing the game in 64-bit WINEPREFIX.
This is not supported if you need "Windows 2000" compatibility mode for
SafeDisc 1.x

You can't change the Windows version to "Windows 2000" _after_ you created a
64-bit WINEPREFIX by design.
For 64-bit variants the lowest supported version is Windows XP.

Again: Install the game in 32-bit WINEPREFIX (WINEARCH=win32) with WinVer set
to "Windows 2000".

Resolving this bug as dupe of bug 21147
