--- snip ---

The process list shows you are sharing the Steam WINEPREFIX with multiple
games/apps and that's likely the reason it is broken now ('msxml3' component
failed to load).

Start over with a clean 32-bit WINEPREFIX and avoid installing multiple games
in the same prefix unless you know the risks and can handle it yourself.
Also consider upgrading Wine, 1.6.1 is outdated and no longer supported.

Regards
