I asked the creator of VCStarter on the forum, but I have still no response
since then. I am not working on this right now - waiting for his respond. In
case that he will not help me with that, I will try continue my work on the fix
myself. But I believe (and hope) that he will response soon.

VCStarter is just community util to run Vietcong game on modern Windows
operating systems, so it is probably not game bug (since this crash is not
happening on Windows). Or maybe is Vietcong doing something wrong, whose
"wrong" behaviour is not simulated properly in Wine?

This util doesnt fixed this issue until version v1.7 BETA. Here is changelog:
- May greatly improve performance (check with console command "showfps 1" with
fps limiter disabled)
- Fixed: Bad lighting of players
- Fixed: Screenshots not working with "fix menu flickering" option
- Fixed: Visual glitches in cutscenes with "correct aspect ratio" option
- Fixed: Error message when fitting textures in video memory
- Fixed: FPS limiter ineffective after loading screen or maximizing

My personal tip is that it has something to do with "Fixed: Bad lighting of
players"

There is also possibility that VCStarter does not fix this kind of bug at all
but just do some workaround.
