--- Comment #11 from F.T. Petracca ftpetracca@gmail.com 2008-02-27 13:53:16 --- Created an attachment (id=11010) --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=11010) new log with "export WINEDEBUG=+wgl" set
You're correct that the game launches a patcher/updater first. I've attempted to run the game's executable directly but it just won't let me.
Included is another log with WINEDEBUG set explicitly.
I've compared these crash logs with "normal" logs in which the I run the game and exit the game normally (I just don't open the costume selection screen).
The major difference is the addition in the crash log of everything past line 5277 or so. I guess a lot of that is the game trying to render the costumes, but I'm not quite sure where it's failing.
