--- Comment #11 from Josh winehq@iooioio.xyz --- I can no longer reproduce this bug with wine-6.20.
It's been a long time, I am on different hardware, with a different OS, etc. so perhaps me not running into it again is incidental.
I do, however, get something that could be misinterpreted as the game failing to launch instead:
After the intro videos have been skipped the screen goes blank so that I see my desktop again (but cropped because the resolution is changed). It stays like this for a while (maybe about 15 seconds?) but I can hear music playing. Eventually the visuals of the main menu kick in and I can proceed normally.
Not sure if that should be tracked here or if it warrants its own bug report...
