            Bug ID: 50757
           Summary: (Regression) Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth1
                    Crashes/freezes frequently with FAudio
           Product: Wine
           Version: 6.3
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: xactengine
          Assignee: wine-bugs at winehq.org
          Reporter: orbea at riseup.net
      Distribution: ---

When playing the GOG version of Hyperdimension Neptunia ReBirth 1
(https://www.gog.com/game/hyperdimension_neptunia_rebirth1) it will frequently
freeze/crash.

This only occurs when built wine is built against FAudio and happens most often
during battles or less frequently the area maps. Sometimes it will also occur
in other places such as during dialogue scenes or menus. It usually occurs
within a few battles, but sometimes will take a bit longer. During the crashes
the graphics will freeze and input will be unresponsive, but usually music
continues to play only rarely stopping with the crash.

When wine is not built against FAudio there will be no sound in the title
screen or during game play, but this can be worked around by installing xact
with winetricks and setting the wine prefix to XP compatibility where after
extensive testing it remains stable without crashing.

I tested FAudio versions 21.01 and 21.03 without changes.

With older wine versions (roughly 5.10 and older) the above workaround with
native xact and XP compatibility is needed regardless if wine is built against
FAudio and it does not crash.

So I bisected this and found the first bad commit:

However the parent commit (568227cc039ce16f232008f34fb72fc6aecc5029) will crash
just before the title screen consistently. This can be worked around with
setting WINEDLLOVERRIDES='xactengine3_7=n' in the environment where sound will
be missing in the title screen and during game play, but like above can be
fixed with a native xact and using XP compatibility mode. Several preceding
commits do not crash before the title screen, but require setting
WINEDLLOVERRIDES='xactengine3_7=n' in the environment for the sound to not be
missing.

With the first bad commit (
127ef80f0f9370a148357b7c1f001c3477a52264) a default prefix works and there is
no missing sound, but it introduces the issue with frequent crashes.
