--- Comment #17 from Hans Petter Jansson hpj@copyleft.no --- You're right, I was testing the plain wine packages without Nine. With GLSL enabled, both plain and staging versions run this game ok now. With GLSL disabled, both versions immediately crash when client loading is finished, and the patch posted here makes no difference.
If the bug is to be resolved, I think WONTFIX would be fine (i.e. because running with GLSL disabled is unsupported). ABANDONED could apply too if you think it's unlikely to be fixed (I'm not familiar enough with the Wine code base to pursue this).
Or just leave it open if having open bugs around doesn't bother you :)
