Hello joaopa,

Does the bug still occur with wine-5.16?

well, the game now hangs on startup - even before the disk validation part.

Testing reveals a regression in between Wine 3.0-rc2 and Wine 3.0-rc3. From
quick debugging I already know the problem but this is an entirely different,
albeit interesting issue of SecuROM v4.x DRM.

With a quick-partial-revert patch applied to any Wine 3.x-6.0-rc1 release, disk
validation still works. Resolving 'WORKSFORME' here since there was no response
since five years. Although since 2018 it wouldn't have worked anyway due to the
regression.

I will create a new bug report for the regression. It's not easy to fix as it
highlights a general problem with Wine: Service Control Manager (SCM) and
services lacking (named pipes) security and privilege separation.

Regards
