On 1.3.1 the Victoria 2 Demo also crashes on startup, with a similar error: "unimplemented function d3dx9_36.dll.D3DXCreateTextureFromFileExA"
Using native d3dx9_36.dll with winetricks bypasses the error, although the game crashes for other reasons.
Demo is available here: http://www.gamershell.com/download_62070.shtml
That function is now implemented: http://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/?a=commitdiff;h=ae695bdfaaea2b114938ff...
please retest.
