Bug ID: 39073 Summary: Elemental: Fallen Enchantress (using ImpulseReactor overlay) crashes on start when using DirectWrite method Product: Wine Version: 1.7.49 Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: dwrite Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: gyebro69@gmail.com Distribution: ---

As far as I know the Impulse Reactor overlay, used by several games from the developer Stardock, was discontinued in 2014. Yet, there could be some games out there that make use of the overlay. I have one such a "legacy" game, Fallen Enchantress, which comes with the Impulse overlay, and the game crashes while loading to the main menu, when using built-in dwrite. Disabling dwrite.dll lets the game start properly and the overlay works too.
Please let me know if you need a log with specific debug channels enabled.
Fedora 22 Wine 1.7.49 Native d3dx9_41 installed for the game
