--- Comment #2 from Adam Bolte <abolte at systemsaviour.com> ---
This issue also affects Dawn of War 2: Retribution, and has a (painful)
work-around involving native wintrust and msasn1 DLLs to get around the content
unlock system. See this link for an explanation of how this is thought to work:

http://www.corsix.org/content/dawn-war-ii-unlockable-content

Additionally, this issue causes the contents of content.cat to be nuked upon
each execution attempt of the game (either DoW2 or DoW2: Retribution), so you
need to keep a backup handy for testing (or use the "Verify Integrity of Game
Cache" button in Steam, which is very slow), and restore the backup every time
to avoid the BugSplat window.

This procedure is described in more detail here:

http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=22942&iTestingId=75918

Also, see Bug 35553 (which I just opened) which also prevents the game from
running, and that bug (unlike this one) does not have a known work-around. Bug
35553 is exclusive to Dawn of War 2 (not Retribution).
