The application also suffers from bug 42014, hack or Staging lets the application start
I didnt personally test the patch(es) from there, but it's easy to believe.
I 1st tried with wine 2.8-git and it didnt go as far as with wine-staging. Because of the mentioned patches maybe.
With (fresh wineprefix) wine-staging 2.8 it goes as far as login window and bottom of the screen has some icon for the application (taskbar?).
I do get lots of
err:d3d:context_reacquire Acquired context 0x1e9970 instead of 0x81785b8.
and I still get the direcxt error popup, but it seesm to be nothing fatal.
