terminal output

The game fails to start in current git (wine-1.3.30-145-g7a4349b): an error
message is shown after the initial loading stage is finished (just before the
main menu should appear). No usable backtrace is generated.

This is due to a recent commit:

dinput: GetDeviceData always succeeds regardless if buffering is enabled or
device is acquired.

Reverting the patch fixed the problem.
Native dinput8.dll is a workaround.

The demo is ~500 MB in size, please let me know if you need a log with debug
channels enabled.
