>How are you creating a new prefix? Why aren't you creating it as a normal user?

I am creating a new prefix with rm -rf ~/.wine, then running wincfg.

I am creating a prefix as a normal user, and it isn't working.

I have also tried logging into root using su, then doing wine ./saddle.exe, and
it also crashes

the only way my program runs is if I do sudo wine ./saddle.exe

>In general you shouldn't run Wine as root; it's designed to run as a normal user.

that is why i made this bug report. it is rather strange. It runs in your x11
system? I'll try running it in x11 now.
