Hello folks,

--- quote ---
Wine 3.7 in Windows 7 mode, the game at least runs to the login screen, but
hangs after entering the login and password
--- quote ---

the hang is the result of a crash in the main thread due to DirectX 10/11
insufficiencies. The graphics is still shown, but obviously frozen.

which at least gives me the opportunity to play without issues and with good
fps thanks to the ability to use DXVK https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk

This is not supported here and in fact it shows that the game never worked in
plain Wine with Windows 7 settings, regardless if its Wine 3.7, 3.9 etc.

Also you are using Wine-Staging. Please use plain = vanilla Wine to report
bugs.
Wine-Staging has gazillion patches applied and makes it harder to track
down/isolate bugs in vanilla Wine.

Another thing: were the DXVK drop-ins also present in the beginning of the
video? Check the 3:46 minute mark in your video. It shows that the WINEPREFIX
"downgrade" (update due to Wine-Staging 3.9 -> 3.7 downgrade) has suspicious
errors:

--- snip ---
002c:err:setupapi:create_dest_file failed to create
"C:\\windows\\system32\\dxgi.dll" (error=80)
002c:err:setupapi:create_dest_file failed to create
"C:\\windows\\system32\\dxgi.dll" (error=80)
--- snip ---

I've tested the game client with Windows XP setting with Wine-Staging 3.9 as
you did. No DXVK. It works fine, no crash.

Please only report bugs with clean WINEPREFIX (clean install of game).
Customizations, such as drop-in dlls from third-party projects such as DXVK can
create incompatibilities across Wine version which is clearly demonstrated by
you -> INVALID bug. If that's the case, report the bugs to the third-part
project, not Wine.

Regards
