--- Comment #1 from Vladimir kevin.mcalister@gmail.com 2012-04-30 07:10:25 CDT --- Hmmm.. Trying to play around I encounter strange things. - I tried to launch with commandline "~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/PokerStars$ wine PokerStars.exe". It was the same crash - I repeated this launch - the lobby has appeared! However, debug output was "err:winediag:IcmpCreateFile Failed to use ICMP (network ping), this requires special permissions". So client cannot connect to server. - I launched third time - and it successfully launched, used ping, connected to server and shows the list of games. - Then I launched with desktop shortcut, the lobby appeared, but cannot connect. - In terminal, I launched exact the same command line from launcher - "~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/PokerStars$ env WINEPREFIX="/home/user/.wine" wine c:\windows\command\start.exe /Unix /home/user/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/Public/Desktop/PokerStars.lnk" - still cannot connect. - simple "wine PokerStars.exe" still starting ok.
After reboot, no changes - with desktop shortcut client launching, but cannot connect. - manually "wine PokerStars.exe" can connect.
I had tried also on another Unubtu 12.04 installation. Sympthoms were the same: - After first install, with desktop shortcut, client crashed - One launched manually "wine Pokerstars.exe" - it works ok - After it, with desktop shortcut, client launching, but not connecting.

I have the same problem with initializing - screenshot attached. I wrote to pokerstars support, however they were unable to help, as there is no Linux version... You should consider this bug "confirmed". It seems only Wine application team can fix that...
