Bug ID: 56221
           Summary: Quick start failure for Civilization 4
           Product: Wine
           Version: 9.0
          Hardware: x86-64
               URL: https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=appl
                    ication&iId=2514
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown

I tried another start out for the game “Civilization IV” by components from the
software package “wine 9.0-1670.1”.

Markus_Elfring@Sonne:~> wine 'C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start
Menu\Programs\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier'''s Civilization 4\Sid Meier'''s
Civilization 4 starten.lnk'
007c:fixme:hid:handle_IRP_MN_QUERY_ID Unhandled type 00000005
…
00bc:err:ntoskrnl:ZwLoadDriver failed to create driver
L"\Registry\Machine\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\SecDrv": c0000142
003c:fixme:service:scmdatabase_autostart_services Auto-start service L"SecDrv"
failed to start: 1114
0024:fixme:exec:SHELL_execute flags ignored: 0x00004000
…

I wondered then why a corresponding application window was not presented.

Markus_Elfring@Sonne:~> strace wine 'C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start
Menu\Programs\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier'''s Civilization 4\Sid Meier'''s
Civilization 4 starten.lnk'
…
exit_group(3)                           = ?
+++ exited with 3 +++

How will the clarification be continued with such information?

Please, try in a new fresh wine prefix.
If the bug still occurs, try to set the wine version to windows 20000

I can temporarily switch the Windows version from 10 to 2000 for another test
of my wine configuration.
I do not see a corresponding graphical improvement at the moment.

Will it become more interesting to narrow the error situation down for the hint
“exited with 3”?

To try to find the bug, it is more useful to test in a fresh wineprefix to
avpid competiton between softwares. 
So try that at first.

if the bug still occurs in a fresh wineprefix, try the demo always in a fresh
winerepfix.
If the bug appears in the demo, someone else can test and help

and start the software in the canoicl way:
cd in the folder of the application and launch the application with the command
cd myappli.exe.

Your logging lines look like a copy protection driver got installed,
but fails to run (c0000142, STATUS_DLL_INIT_FAILED).
Therefore the main application might not even open a window.
Got it installed from CD media?

And if you wondered why a strace did not show more interesting, if
you use the .lnk file, wine is using start.exe which spawns a new process,
which gets not strace'ed by your command.

I could install the game from an original DVD after a few retries.
