Upon running "wine HarryBuster.exe", the main menu opens. Click on "START". A loading screen appears, which always stops at the same position (but no error message appears, and the program doesn't crash). In the terminal, wine seems to be in an infinite loop, always printing out the same message with an incrementing number. Wine needs to be killed with Control+C, otherwise it will run forever.
