--- Comment #3 from me@haravikk.com me@haravikk.com 2011-12-01 04:58:59 CST --- It hangs completely; whatever WINE is doing it's utterly locked up, I have to force the program closed to regain use of my machine. I can run the game normally under emulation or by booting to Windows, but under WINE it won't work at all, yet all I can think it should be doing is enabling the "Play" button, as it gets passed the file-verification/download steps just fine.
I mean, it's entirely possible it is partly the fault of the game as well, but I don't see why WINE's load should increase so dramatically, and can't figure out what it's doing. Does the stack trace hold any clues?
