Console log

In the game Medieval 2 Total War, the campaign usually crashes after the
loading bars have finished, before entering the campaign map.

The bug may be related to display issues, as the last fixmes are d3d.
On the other hand, the game's own error log lists not finding data.

The game gives an error of "Medieval 2: Total War encountered an unspecified
error and will now exit"

Sometimes, rarely, it seems not to crash at this point, but only perhaps 1% of
the time. Many hours fiddling settings and reinstalling clean versions and such
could not duplicate the rare success. 
Some people on appdb have suggested earlier version of wine didn't have this
problem (though they crash for other reasons)

the 2007.10.7 git wine has the same problem.

versions 1.0 and 1.3 of M2TW have the same problem.
the problem occurs full screen and in emulated desktops.

it's unfortunately not testable with the free demo of m2tw, because the demo
doesn't have the campaign.

I'm happy to give more information if it may be useful, please ask.
