--- Comment #24 from pandora.xero@gmail.com --- for some reason, this bug doesn't seem to be as much of an issue with a fresh win32 WINEPREFIX. I don't know if this is due to it being a fresh prefix, having something configured differently, or a difference between how wine handles things on win32 vs. win64 prefixes.
I'm going to be spinning up 2 fresh wineprefixes - one win64, one win32 - once 7.19 is released.
I'm going to attempt to eliminate as many variables as possible in setup. Everything from installation procedure to configuration of the game will be duplicated as precisely as possible.
If there's some difference in the configuration that's causing these issues on the current win64 prefix and not the current win32 prefix, some difference in how I installed the game, or some difference in how wine handles win32 vs. win64, this should be able to give us some indication.
