--- Comment #10 from Anastasius Focht  ---
Hello folks,

confirming.

The launcher updates itself after download and then proceeds to download the
full game (1.7 GB).

The game executable gets some parameters from the launcher which are
dynamic/time-limited (online play).

You need to pre-run the launcher with '+process' debug channel to get valid
parameter set:

--- snip ---
$ pwd
/home/focht/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/theHunter/launcher

$ WINEDEBUG=+process wine ./launcher.exe
...
<steal parameters>
--- snip ---

Armed with that info you can run the game standalone:

--- snip ---
$ pwd
/home/focht/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/theHunter/game

$ wine ./thehunter.exe
/connect:hunt://gameserver.thehunter.com/<guid>/lang/en_US/access_token/<guid>//refresh_token/<guid>/
/param:41 
--- snip ---

The game doesn't like +relay but I managed to extract the necessary info with a
few other debug channels:

--- snip ---

The crash is caught by builtin crash handler which sends the minidump "home".

The cause is bug 34480 (the entire mipchain need to be allocated contiguously).

Applying the workaround for bug 34480 lets the game successfully run.

Tidbit: Almost everything is rendered properly, except some shadow-like things
on the ground (looks like a camouflage net that moves with the player).
