--- Comment #1 from Daniel Micay danielmicay@gmail.com 2011-03-16 18:10:43 CDT --- just to clarify, the unhandled exception and backtrace occur while starting EU3 and don't lead to a crash.
err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x7e6c39a0 "../../../wine/dlls/wininet/netconnection.c: init_ssl_cs" wait timed out in thread 0046, blocked by 000c, retrying (60 sec) is what consistently appears before the crash, which makes it seem like it's related to Paradox Connect achievements, which I have disabled.
