--- Comment #44 from Anastasius Focht focht@gmx.net --- Hello Linards,
unrelated to this bug ... but you have some interesting processes in your log:
--- snip --- 00000021 updateSecretSauce.exe ... 0000002c utilSecretSauce.exe --- snip ---
Might be adware/malware ... you could check by uploading the .exe files here: https://www.virustotal.com/
Maybe this stuff was installed by some other software, not related to NHL 2009 (drive-by apps). In general avoid (re)using the same WINEPREFIX for multiple software installations. A good practice is to isolate apps and games by giving each own prefix (WINEPREFIX=$USER/myapps/app1 ...).
Regards
