Game:
'Perry Rhodan: The Adventure' German Demo
The full game is copy-protected (TAGES), so I've only considered the demo
version. Only a German-language demo is available. I've provided the link to
download it.
Once installed, the demo launches in windowed mode. To run it in full-screen
mode, add the option '-fullscreen' ('wine perry_rhodan.exe -fullscreen').

perryrhodan_demode.exe

OS:
Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS 64bit

Wine:
wine-9.1
WINEARCH=win32
Clean prefix

Description:
The game crashes as soon as it is launched (I've provided the log as an
attachment).
There is a workaround: run the demo using the option '-compatibility_mode'
('wine perry_rhodan.exe -compatibility_mode').
In compatibility mode, the game starts but in the lowest graphics settings.
When you go to 'Settings' ('Einstellungen'), and try to set the 'Default
settings' ('Voreinstellung') to 'High' ('Hoch'), it remains on 'Custom'
('Eigene') with 'Shadowmap' disabled in 'Shadows' ('Schatten'). The attempt to
activate 'Shadowmap' shadows fails (it remains deactivated even after the
settings have been saved) and the message below appears in the log. In
addition, 'Antialiasing' ('Kantenglättung') is deactivated (and cannot be
activated).
0024:fixme:wgl:X11DRV_wglChoosePixelFormatARB unused pfAttribFList
0024:err:wgl:glxdrv_wglShareLists Could not share display lists because both of
the contexts have already been current or shared

My guess is that the crash when you run the demo without the workaround is due
to the 'shadowmap' shadows or to the antialiasing.

I could also observe this behaviour.

The game also writes some logging to c:/users/benutzer/Temp/:
perry_crash.dmp
perry_crash_log.txt
perry_log_file.txt

wine winedbg c:/users/benutzer/Temp/perry_crash.dmp
Backtrace:

  1 0x0046016d in perry_rhodan (+0x6016d)

In perry_log_file.txt following line is visible:
[CRITICAL]: pr_demo_t::set_msaa_mode() BUG at file ".\pr_demo.cpp", line 113!

With below modification the game can continue shows the into sequences,
and a new game can be started from the main menu.
Unfortunately with some graphical glitches and unreadable subtitles.
