Since commit 895c5f8234813d2b445376aa73e1fc93b5061b0b (dxgi: Partially implement dxgi_adapter_CheckInterfaceSupport()), many softwares crash/fail to start (for example BioShock 2) silently. This still happens in 1.8.
This is fixed by disabling dxgi in winecfg.
It probably wouldn't hurt to list a couple of games / applications affected by this bug. Also attach terminal output with WINEDEBUG=+dxgi for at least one affected application.
