Initial startup takes a long time, getting into game causes crashes

With CXGames 8.1.3:

Loading up the game takes a long, long time (the initial screen with the technology credits, etc. takes a very long time to pass) - the opening cinematic work fine, as does the menu system - but actually trying to start a new game brings up the loading screen and then crashes (the tutorials crash immediately, the grand campaign crashes at the end of the loading bar).

I've got a full log from startup to crash at http://ni.tl/newlog.cxlog

Hi,

Have you tried enabling 'emulate a virtual desktop' in winecfg?

Do you have Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 redistributable installed into the same bottle?

Cheers!

No luck with either - though it seems with the C++ redist package installed that the crash happens slightly later.

Hi,

If it's an option for you, you could try installing it into
wine-1.1.30 (or better) and seeing if things happen any differently
there..(personally, I would try 1.1.31). If you can confirm it
works in devel-wine, it'd be helpful to know...

Btw, what OS/platform/videocard are you using?

Cheers!
