In Wine-1.3.32 the game is showing the following error message, shortly after
starting:
Failed to init D3D8 object!

No terminal output at all.

Steps to reproduce the problem in the demo:
After a successful installation, start the demo by either launcher.exe or
spectromancer.exe...you will be greeted with the mentioned error message.

The game starts fine in 1.3.31, and the result of the regression test:

This bug (regression) affects some other games too: they all crash on startup
(either the game itself or the launcher application):
