            Bug ID: 49340
           Summary: Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow - Can't find file for
                    package 'HXAudio'
           Product: Wine
           Version: 5.10
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: wine-bugs at winehq.org
          Reporter: tomasz.piotr.kowalczyk at gmail.com
      Distribution: ---

I'm on Ubuntu 20.04, installed winehq-staging 5.10 from WINE PPA. I'm trying to
play Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow, the game was installed without any issue.

Unfortunately, every attempt at running pandora.exe fails with an old Windows
window and the following text:

```
Can't find file for package 'HXAudio'

History: UObject::SafeLoadError <- UObject::StaticLoadClass <-
UEngine::InitAudio <- UGameEngine::Init <- InitEngine
```

There is a HXAudio.dll file in the game's root directory, and when running a
WINEDEBUG=+loaddll I see that WINE attempts to load it but then it is
immediately unloaded:

```
0024:trace:loaddll:load_native_dll Loaded L"C:\\windows\\system32\\DSOUND.dll"
at 0x6d5c0000: PE builtin
0024:trace:loaddll:load_native_dll Loaded L"C:\\Program
Files\\Ubisoft\\Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow\\HXAudio.dll" at 0x24b0000:

0024:trace:loaddll:load_native_dll Loaded L"C:\\Program

native
0024:trace:loaddll:free_modref Unloaded module L"C:\\Program
Files\\Ubisoft\\Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow\\HXAudio.dll" : native
```

There is virtually no information about anything called "HXAudio" apart from
two old forum entries [1] [2] basically stating that there is a problem,
without any hint for a solution.

2: https://gathering.tweakers.net/forum/list_messages/945571

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know if you need any other
information about my environment. For the reference, I also tried older WINE
versions 1.5.19 and 1.9.20, with exactly the same result.
