Hello folks,

I've created a snapshot via Internet Archive:

https://web.archive.org/web/20201228084909/https://tele500.abandonware-france.org/fichiers/jeux/1996/jeu-00975-warwind-pcwin.7z

32-bit DirectX 2.0 game from Win9x era.
It requires 32-bit WINEPREFIX and WinVer 'Windows 95' setting.

After clicking in the center of the starting screen, a multiplayer configurator
is shown. There is no other option in the main screen - except 'Exit' of
course.

The multiplayer screen shows several DirectPlay options (TCP/IP, IPX, ...). The
single player mode seems to be buried here as well. I find that a rather
strange user interface design.

'Joueur unique' = Single player. After clicking it and selecting some settings
the button 'Jouez!' always remains greyed out for me. I'm not able to start a
single player game. Is there something I miss here?

When exactly is it supposed to crash?
"crashes at start" = before any graphics is shown?
