Fixed by newest VCStarter (1.7 BETA). I also created topic on vietcong.info page: http://www.vietcong.info/portal/forum/viewthread.php?thread_id=982
Will ask creator of VCStarter for details (it has something to do with fixing bad lighting of player IMHO, since it everytime crashed on Character model)...
Are you still working on this? Since its fixed in game newer version could it be that it was game bug? On the other hand if it worked on windows same time it was wine bug?
I asked the creator of VCStarter on the forum, but I have still no response since then. I am not working on this right now - waiting for his respond. In case that he will not help me with that, I will try continue my work on the fix myself. But I believe (and hope) that he will response soon.
VCStarter is just community util to run Vietcong game on modern Windows operating systems, so it is probably not game bug (since this crash is not happening on Windows). Or maybe is Vietcong doing something wrong, whose "wrong" behaviour is not simulated properly in Wine?
This util doesnt fixed this issue until version v1.7 BETA. Here is changelog: - May greatly improve performance (check with console command "showfps 1" with fps limiter disabled) - Fixed: Bad lighting of players - Fixed: Screenshots not working with "fix menu flickering" option - Fixed: Visual glitches in cutscenes with "correct aspect ratio" option - Fixed: Error message when fitting textures in video memory - Fixed: FPS limiter ineffective after loading screen or maximizing
My personal tip is that it has something to do with "Fixed: Bad lighting of players"
There is also possibility that VCStarter does not fix this kind of bug at all but just do some workaround.
