console output

This is a game loaded through the Steam platform. 
Details of the game are available http://store.steampowered.com/app/48700/
It apparently used to work fine

Distribution is Slackware 13.0
gcc version 4.3.3 (GCC)
Wine 1.3.1 manually compiled from source (i.e. not a package)
GFX card is GeForce 9600 GT with 512mb ram
Using Nvidia binary drivers 256.44

Steam launches fine but when trying to play the game, the game does not launch
and wine hangs (details of console output attached)

Steam continues to work in the background and it is possible to attempt the
launch the game again but with no more success

This is under wine 1.3.1, with the following elements installed through
winetricks:
- corefonts
- drdx9
- drdx9_28
- drdx9_36
- vcrun2005

Using a "clean" wine installation without the native drdx9 dlls leads to the
same error

Please let me know if more information is required and I will happily provide
it.
