I noticed a couple of glitches in the game Freelancer which occur during the
cutscenes when the player interacts with NPCs in the game. It should be noted
that these glitches only occur after you loaded a saved game: if you don't use
the game's save/load feature just start a new game and follow the storyline
then those problems aren't visible.
1. in the short cutscenes where the player interacts with NPCs, the player
character is missing (invisible). This can be observed as the camera is moving
back and forth between the player and the NPC. It looks like 
 as if the NPC was speaking to the air.
2. when you enter the bar and click on an NPC to talk to him/her, the NPC's
head is moving unnaturally during the conversation, sometimes the head is
almost spinning around the neck.
Reverting 98eb7171e1d61ec24d337d11b672373dfac19db8 on top of Wine 4.4 fixes the
problem.
Native msvcrt.dll also acts as a workaround.
The problem can be reproduced in the demo version:
1. After installation launch the game. Start a new game from the main menu (a
lengthy cutscene is shown which can't be skipped unfortunately.)
2. When the intro is finished you are on the spaceport screen. Press <F1> to
bring up the system menu and choose the save game menu to save the game. Click
<Return to game> after saving.
3. Reload the save game you just created by using <F1> and <Load Game> menu,
then click on the second icon from the left on the HUD above to enter the bar.
4. Here is another cutscenes playing, you can notice that the player's
character is missing while he's talking to the barkeeper.
5. When the conversation with the barkeeper is over you can see some NPCs in
the bar. Click any of them to start a conversation and watch their heads'
movement during the conversation.
