--- Comment #5 from Skybuck Flying  ---
The profiles are located in %SystemDrive%\Users

Which would be C:\Users

and then probably

C:\Users<Username>

Which would be:

C\Users\skybuck

And indeed, Star Wars Battlefront folders exist in this folder:

Users/Skybuck/Documents/

Like:

STAR WARS Battlefront II

STAR WARS Battlefront II Multiplayer Beta

STAR WARS Battlefront Beta

I copied all three folders to where wine stores them

Home

and then use control-h to show hidden .wine folder

I also had to create a Documents folder because it was missing.

Only My Documents folder was there

So eventually it looked like:

/home/skybuck/.wine/drive_c/users/skybuck/Documents/

/home/skybuck/.wine/drive_c/users/skybuck/Documents/STAR WARS Battlefront II/

And such.

By creating these folders the game now continues, maybe there are also files
there that are needed but I don't think so or are not sure. I would not be
surprised if the game only needs these folders to exist.

Anyway the game now seems to continue loading with different results.

If I set Working Directory to game folder as well it will complain bad ex
format for a certain DLL: amd_ags_x64.dll

However if I leave working directory empty the result is as follows:

Running /usr/bin/wine /media/skybuck/External Harddisk/Games/Star Wars -
Battlefront 2/starwarsbattlefrontii.exe
0025:err:seh:setup_exception stack overflow 1616 bytes in thread 0025 eip

0026:err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x7bd19c00 "loader.c:
loader_section" wait timed out in thread 0026, blocked by 0025, retrying (60
sec)

(I also disabled full debugging since it seemed to execute cpu instructions).

To me the above seems like a bug in wine-stable.

Or this bug is caused because the DLL was not loaded properly.

So I am not sure which is which.

Is it necessary to set working directories for wine/lutris ? Or will it default
to the exe folder as working directory anyway ?

Bye,
  Skybuck.
