crash report from customizing the race

Galactic civilizations crashes randomly and in certain parts in the game.

One way that I know which will certainly crash the game is by doing the
following selections from the main menu:

New game

Click next on galaxy setup

Choose custom race on "pick your civilization" screen (the rightmost one on top
row)

on "customize your civilization" screen, click on "techs" tab.

try adding or removing any technology will result in a crash.

What Wine version?
Which partition, file system is this? /media/sdb1/ Are you running this program
directly from windows partition?

Seems there is a demo available, but custom races are not available. Can you
reproduce this in the demo and put instructions here please?

I haven't replied in a while because the bandwith from my ISP is limited (damn
crippling student deals). However, crashed will be more frequent 30-40 minutes
into the game. Even when loading from the autosave, the crash point might be
bypassed, but a crash will follow not long after...

Crash report from console while running the demo.

This crash occured before getting into the game itself. Pretty similiar to the
previous ones I've submitted.

I have this problem with wine 1.0rc5.

The game is prone to crasing in different locations, and it seems that the
longer a game runs the more the crashes are happen.

Also all bugreports of the crashes indicate, that the game crashed in d3dx9_27.

Also i did some more research on d3dx9_27 galciv2 is only starting with the
native variant, if i am using the builtin, the game is crashing at startup with
the following error:

wine: Call from 0x79faa9 to unimplemented function
d3dx9_27.dll.D3DXGetImageInfoFromFileA, aborting

I can also confirm that there is no improvement on this bug. It may be a
entirely diffrent issue, but I can't startup the game anymore from a clean
.wine since it crashes before reaching the main menu. Tried installing DirectX
9.0c and it gave an error about "an internal system error occured"...

Tried running civ4 to make sure it wasn't a problem with my settings and it ran
without a problem.

If it helps, I can confirm that the custom race selection does not happen with
Wine version 0.9.41, but many later versions I have tried do have this problem.

Note that the game still has the various mentioned crashes based on how complex
the game is:  size of map, number of players, turns played, etc.

I've tried this on Crossover Games 7.1.0, and I don't know the exact version of
Wine that uses.  The game still crashes.  It affects all versions of Galactic
Civilizations II, not just the expansions (which seem to be the only versions
attached to this bug).

I can replicate the crashes, but only if they happen right after saving.  I
don't know why, but it's almost like certain conditions on certain turns will
result in a crash.

Happens to me with WINE 1.1.15 about one and half hours to two hours into every
game. I think the point may be the dread lords arrival.

The bug is here with wine 1.1.25.

Some additional debug info:

So it seems to be related with the fonts/text bug in this game.

Problem still persists on Wine 1.1.33.

Game crashes seemingly randomly, sometimes right after loading a save.

I have played several games with different game options with wine 1.3.1 and
have not seen any crashes anymore (have not yet tried 1.3.2). May be this bug
is fixed somehow? It needs confirmation from other users...

This bug has not been updated for two years. Is this still an issue i current
(1.5.4) or newer wine ? You may also close this as abandoned if you feel that
that this is issue is no longer relevant to you.
