--- Comment #13 from unmacaque@gmail.com 2010-04-21 12:40:44 --- Thanks, this patch got little further. When the application tried to read randomnamesy.xml, Wine printed the following error message:
fixme:msxml:libxmlFatalError SAX error Document labelled UTF-16 but has UTF-8 content
Correcting the faulty encoding does silence the above message and seems to get rid of 'initialization failed' message, so I am undetermined to reopen this bug yet. The wrong encoding may have been due to an update of the game. Curiously, older Wine versions or real Windows systems have no problem with that.
Now, there is still a page fault preventing the application to start up. I have attached yet another log.
