Ah, thanks. I didn't know the --no-sandbox parameter existed.
With the parameter, the client immediately crashes in Windows XP mode, in Windows 7 mode it sometimes shows the "Updating..." window, however it stays at 0/0 MB downloaded and nothing else happens (the client should already be up-to-date, so technically this isn't supposed to appear anyway).
with the latest update the main window will cause a bugsplat, but I can update easily the alphaclient and the game from there. I used to play with this client, but as long as it is in alpha, we are subject to schizophrenic behaviors from the program itself. I use a wine profile in 32bit mode, and is the same profile I use to play the game with the old client, if this helps for you.
