I just wanted to report that this bug still persists in Wine 3.0. I've tried all the various fixes proposed in the comments and sites. Modifying imm.c also doesn't appear to help, it also appears slightly different than when this fix was first proposed.
Which distribution of Linux are you using, and is this with the Japanese or English version of the PlayOnline Viewer/FFXI?
I've tested this with standard POL as well as xiloader and ashita. All 3 will crash as the main screen is beginning to be drawn. I can accept the EULA and it will retrieve character information however a second after 3d graphics are displayed wine crashes. Appears to be the same crash previously reported.
Adding third-party pieces, that I believe can be viewed as 'cracks' (which generally are off-topic here), will almost certainly not help the puzzle get solved in this case. :]
Just to be sure, you are able to reproduce this issue with a clean FFXI installation, without any third-party applications in the mix (windower, ashita, etc.), and when connecting to an official server?
