--- Comment #10 from hr450_e@t-online.de --- This bug is not caused by Steam overlay (my opinion). I have tested all suggested workarounds including disabling overlay, removing/creating directories, ... - none worked for me. Then I came across an assumption made by turboNOMAD (see comment section of game test linked in comment above) - that the crash is triggered by FindFirstFile/FindNextFile implementation. A few hours ago, I realized, that there is a patch addressing this issue (Steam - known bugs):

Testing the patch: wine 1.9.7 without patch: crash on startup wine 1.9.7 patched: game starts and seems to run stable
