--- Comment #13 from Pekka Paalanen <pq at iki.fi> ---
So I tried PWI again today, Nov 28, 2015, using Wine 1.7.55 as packaged by
Gentoo.

Arc is able to log in, Patcher is able to upgrade PWI, and if I start the game
directly with 'wine start elementclient.exe startbypatcher', I can log in and
interact in the game world. Most icons in the game are still question marks,
which severely hinders playability. I suppose you can count that as working
then. I do have d3d11 set to "Disable" in winecfg DLL overrides.

I have no idea what might have fixed it. Everything changes all the time, and I
test maybe twice a year. The only thing that does not change is my hardware
which has been the same since 2010.

One hypothesis I recall having few years ago was the game aborting if certain
data files were not found, and the chinese character issue might trigger that.
I'm pretty sure the chinese character issue is responsible for the question
mark icons. The game may have changed, the files may have changed...

I believe the fundamental problem with this game are the chinese file names, as
explained before. I suppose that is off-topic for this bug report, judging from
the original description, so I suppose one could close this report as
WORKSFORME.
