This is a guess, but maybe it`s a dwrite-bug so I attach a +dwrite,+font log here
I see you have done magic: https://source.winehq.org/patches/data/191206
So I rebuild from source: wine-5.15-108-gab94abb14f
1) Without applying the patch from qwertymnb (https://forum.winehq.org/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=138082&si...) provided https://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=34266&p=129239#p129239 the software installation will hang with `00fc:fixme:msg:pack_message msg 14 (WM_ERASEBKGND) not supported yet`
/dlls/user32/painting.c -> + if (flags == (RDW_INVALIDATE | RDW_ERASE | RDW_ALLCHILDREN | RDW_ERASENOW | RDW_FRAME)) return 0;
2) Installing fonts (tested with tahoma, corefonts, jckfonts) before executing `wine msiexec /i ~/Downloads/Installer_Natural8_en.msi makes `bin/GGnet.exe` unable to start (showing the application Dashboard).
3) GGnet.exe never starts without parameters `--brandID=NATURAL8 --serverType=LIVE --brandName=NATURAL8 --languageCode=en --progress=0.001 --bootStatus=RUNNING_NORMAL` except once right after installation finished (without calling bin/GGnet.exe)
4) The software runs now without installing any fonts
5) launcher.exe never 'starts' the Application (one has to use GGnet.exe)
6) Clicking the "Sign-up" button 'works' now!!! (it doesn't end up in a crash) YAY! 6a) When choosing Windows 7 (which was my default) the pop up window upon clicking just shows the black background. Hovering over the black area reveals input fields because the mouse pointer changes 6b) Changing to Windows XP solves the issue (https://askubuntu.com/questions/635456/wine-black-window-issue)
So the it looks like this now: - patch latest source and compile - Change to windows XP - install software - start GGnet.exe with params
It's becoming nicer each day! Thank you for all your time and efforts. Now I quite understand better the importance of channels. But how to come up with a guess for which channel to look for?
