In true Fochtian style.
The game crashes at 0x4c288f:
...
To summarize: The application is Wine-aware. I suspect it was trying to work around some bug in UpdateLayeredWindow(), but then some part of that code path broke.
It's not really obvious what this code path is, if there is one.
Just checking because you wrote "The game crashes", this comment was about Max 7 not about a game, right?

Created attachment 59721 [details] sad hack
I guess this is duplicate of bug 42497 then (NOTOURBUG).
This won`t be fixed in wine.
Maybe wine-staging accepts/could provide a workaround to get this running (as there`s already a ``hide wine-version`` option there)?
There are more apps lying around in that apparantly suffer from this bug: bug 43504, bug 41566 (though that one doesn`t check the existence of wine registrykey, but rather checks wine_get_version).
Is it OK to collect all these bugs as duplicate of bug 42497?
(For completeness I attached very poor and sad hack that makes the crash dissappear so the app works apparantly well)
Since there are more applications having this issue it would be nice if wine (staging) would have an option that hides the wine registry entry. This could be an extra option or be part of the existing "hide wine-version" option.
Btw. What happens if I delete that registry key myself? Does anything within wine break?
