[Bug 41577] Ragnarok Online (iRO): Crashes when attempting to run the patcher.

--- Comment #23 from proveit at tutamail.com ---
All right, so I tested RO (using the new installer) on a different computer but
with the same version of Wine (2.0 rc6 development branch).

It worked. I just did ./winetricks vcrun2008 (didn't even use -q). I did not
use IE8.

There are at least 2 possible explanations:
1. The crash was due to the lack of IE8 or an alternative. Gecko was installed
on this new computer for sure, and served as the needed alternative to prevent
the crash.

2. As Bruno said, "The problem in this bug is that it happens randomly and once
the patch finishes upgrading correctly you won't be able to reproduce it
anymore."

#1 will be easy to rule out once I check whether the problem computer crashes.
If it has gecko on it and still crashes, then gecko isn't the solution. If it
doesn't have gecko, I will have to install it manually. I now know that it's
supposed to go in ~/.cache/wine instead of /usr/share/wine/gecko as this wiki
page incorrectly states: https://wiki.winehq.org/Gecko

#2 is more complicated, but I can narrow it down by doing multiple
installations on the problem computer. The problem is that you can't just rerun
the patcher to get around the crash. Even if Bruno had the same problem as me
(intermittent), once it crashes, it won't resolve itself and I have to wipe the
Wine prefix and start over.

I should have more results soon, but I should note that the original bug was
with the old installer, and winetest's testing confirmed the bug. We may be
able to get around the problem by using a newer installer, or a different
version of Wine, but the bug is there for people who have to use the old
installer for some reason. I hope they fix it.
