terminal output

Normally the game should perform an autosave when starting the first mission,
and it should allow you to perform a manual save anytime in a mission. Neither
of them work in Wine.

1. After performing a manual save in the game, a 'save successful' message is
shown on the screen, however, if I open the <Load game> menu, it is empty.
2. When the player dies there is an option to restore the last saved game:
clicking on this option results in a crash as can be seen in the attached log
file.

The demo version doesn't let you save the game, but it does perform an
autosave, thus the crash can be reproduced with the demo too. Here's how:
1. install the demo, the game needs native d3dx9_36 and dxdiagn (bug #32163).
2. start the demo with Lockdown.exe, skip the intros. In the menu choose
<Single Player> - <Start Mission> and wait until the game is loaded.
3. press '4' to instruct teammates to stay back. There will be some bad guys
around the corner, step to them without shooting so the player dies pretty
soon.
4. the menu with statistics appears, click on <Load Last Save>...the game
crashes at this point.

There's nothing serious in the terminal, the game's own log file contains:
[ERROR | IkeStateMgr::SaveGame | 735] Could not open file c:/program
files/ubisoft/red storm entertainment/rainbow six lockdown
demo/data/save/game/autosave.sav

This directory structure does exist in Wine:
C:/Program Files/Ubisoft/Red Storm Entertainment/Rainbow Six Lockdown
Demo/data/save
Inside ../save there should be a /game directory which contains the saved
games. This directory (as well as an autosave.sav) should be created when you
start the first mission. For some reason the /game directory is not created in
Wine.

Workaround: you have to manually create the /game directory before starting the
game the first time. Saving/loading will work from then on.
