Created an attachment (id=13508) --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=13508) screenshot
Shin Megami Tensei Online, as the name suggests, is an MMORPG, and a Japanese one at that. It's one of those free-to-play types, with optional real-world payment for certain items. Many things work flawlessly -- installation, upgrading, and the like, but it's when one actually tries to play that problems arise. As you can see by the screenshot, a few moments after starting the game, a message box pops up; clicking OK shuts down the program. Although the boxes visible in the screenshot are rather less than enlightening, I was able to grab the actual error message through an error log created by the program:
(1.163)例外エラーが発生しました(10009)[19,81,14]。真・女神転生Imagineを終了します。 ...or, in English, "(1.163) An exception error has occurred (10009)[19,81,14] - Imagine's Shin Megami Tensei Online will now close -"
Oddly, running the program on a computer that's under a heavy load (by, say, using a 'noisy' WINEDEBUG setting) lets one actually get in-game... but the error still eventually occurs, but with different numbers after the 10009.
Also odd is that turning off Vertex Shader Support in winecfg stops the error from happening altogether. However, this disables 3D graphics, which makes the game a little hard to play. ;)
(A warning for those who want to duplicate the error: it requires the downloading of a couple of gigs of data, first to install, and then to update; you'll also need the ability to input Japanese text through an IME if you want to get past the character creation screen. The error still happens in the latter case, however.)
