--- Comment #3 from Sarah wintertanz@gmail.com 2012-08-11 09:45:59 CDT --- To reproduce the bug, try to create a new character. Either click on "skip" to go directly to the screen where you got to name your character, or click through the steps until you reach step 9. If you try to go to step 10 from there, the freeze happens.
This issue is present both with unmodified Wine 1.5.9 and with raw3 patch. I tried changing the Windows version, playing around with Direct3D registry settings and with ingame graphics settings. None of this made any difference.
When the freeze happens, Wine does not register a crash. The game just sits there and needs to be killed manually. There is no crash dump and nothing is logged in the console at the moment of the freeze. No debug information, sorry.
Since the character creation name field is freezing the game, this bug makes it impossible to complete the process. New characters cannot be created. Because of this, I was unable to test if the bug would prevent me from using the ingame chat, but it seems likely that all input fields (including ingame mail) suffer from the same problem.
A few Windows users reported the same problem during the two latest stress tests.
