--- Comment #25 from fjfrackiewicz@gmail.com --- OK, so I made a completely new WINE prefix with WINE 1.7.53 along with the patch xaudio2: Don't render less than a period of audio by Andrew.
After I made a new prefix and configured the Elminage.exe application, I then ran the following winetricks:
d3dx9 quartz devenum wmp9
With this new WINE prefix and a fresh install of the game, I managed to click "New Game" in the main menu 3 times and I did not experience the issue where the game hangs but the audio continues to play.
My question is:
What can I use to compare my previous WINE prefix to the new one to find out whether there is a conflict somewhere? Perhaps there existed a device conflict or a configuration error in my previous WINE prefix?
If anyone knows what info I need to provide within my limited technical capabilities, please let me know because I have a sneaking suspicion that this issue occurs because of a conflict somewhere in my configuration and I would like to find out so that others may avoid it in the future :)
