--- Comment #2 from Anastasius Focht <focht at gmx.net> ---
Hello folks,

I'm pretty sure there is no regression here.

I can confirm a crash in Win7 mode which has been present since a while, even
before Wine 3.7 -> no regression (NOTE: this is not bug 42520, see later
comment).

What most likely happened you switched the WINEPREFIX Windows version to
something newer than 'Windows XP' (Win7).

WoT client in 'Windows 7' setting will automatically use DirectX 10/11 which
still has insufficiencies.
WoT client in 'Windows XP' setting will use DirectX 9 (works fine).

worldoftanks 1.0.1.0 (compiled at 10:32:06 May 22 2018)
--- snip ---

NOTE: There is bug 42520 (XAudio2) which is now shadowed/preceded by DirectX
10/11 issue(s). But people don't know this because they just assume "crash =
must be same issue".

Please state which exact Windows version was used during your downgrade/upgrade
tests.

Regards
