Hello folks,

I can't reproduce the error.

Starting with 'fxlaunch.exe', a splash with a single 'confirm' button is shown.

The main user interface is built on dynamic HTML with news, forum sections and
the like.
The game will automatically detect and download updates.
There is some server list view where one can select a server.
The connection speed can't be detected as the game calls builtin 'ping.exe'
which is just a fake app in Wine.

After clicking 'play' button another updater dialog is shortly shown.
This belongs to 'GPK' ('Game Protect Kit') which looks like a better
HackShield/NProtect clone.

Then the main splash is shown. At this point the game looks like it stalled.

It seems the builtin engine stresses the heap in very inefficient way (lots of
small chunk allocations) and additionally the protection part (GPK) has watcher
threads doing fancy stuff.

You can watch the train wreck by setting up a log file watcher

--- snip ---
$ pwd
/home/focht/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Snail Games USA/Age of Wushu

$ tail -f bin/trace.log 
--- snip ---

It takes about 10 minutes until the blue process bar is moving for the first
time.
After some additional minutes the in-game login screen is finally shown and one
can actually log in.

Can you retest with Wine 1.7.19 and tell where/when does this message show up?
Provide 'bin/trace.log' if still present.

Hello folks,

it seems the first time startup after fresh installation has that rather large
delay.
After starting a few more times it now takes about 3 minutes until login :)

Anyway, I got into the game.
There is some room where one can select a story and tailor the in-game
character.

There is some annoying "Don't speed up!" in-game dialog frequently displayed.

Searching the net reveals similar reports for Windows and MAC:

That probably deserves it's own Wine bug :-)

I tried an archived version of the installer Focht tried (SHA1 matches) and it
can't connect to the update server. It seems the game is still active, but the
installer probably changed in 7 years.

OP didn't bother to respond, so resolving ABANDONED.

they removed the old client version installer payloads.

The actual downloader was still snapshotted:

My old backup with the full client download was destroyed some years ago so
there is indeed no way to reconstruct WuShu v0.0.1.116.

on a spontaneous inspiration I now searched without MIME type and surprise -
the CAB files were snapshotted on archive.org as well. For whatever reason
archive.org shows them as 'text/plain' mime type.

That would take ages to download them all.
But even then, I couldn't reproduce the issue back in the old days.
