Hello,

That's not the purpose of the apitrace.

It's purpose is to allow people that don't own the game to reproduce/diagnose
the bug.

Someone with the game uses it to record the sequence of DirectX 8 operations
from the working game on Windows. The apitrace is then shared with devs.

The recorded sequence of DX8 calls can replayed on Wine to check if crashes the
same way as the game, without having to own the actual game.

If the crash can be reproduced, then the dev can locate where in the sequence
of DX8 operations, and try fixes until the apitrace can be replayed
successfully.

Regards.
