Bug #: 32573
           Summary: Torchlight fails to start without native msvcr90 due
                    to corrupted local_settings.txt
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.5.20
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW

         Component: msvcrt

This would be a follow-up to bug #31845 (?)
It was tested with the Steam version of the game. Steam installs MS VC++ 2008
and various DX libraries. The problem occurs if you set msvcr90=builtin.
The first time you start the game with built-in msvcr90 it seemingly runs
without issues. After exiting and restarting the game you receive a crash as
can be seen in the attached log. Even if you set msvcr90=native the game
refuses to start from then on.
The game stores it's settings/saved games in ../user/user_name/Application
Data/runic games/torchlight. This directory contains the file
local_settings.txt. The file is created/updated when the game starts as well as
when the game exits.
You have to remove the file each time before starting Torchlight with the
built-in msvcr90. Maybe it gets corrupted when it is created/updated.
Take the following scenario: you don't have native d3dx9_36 (or _39) installed
so the game doesn't start at all, it crashes early after starting. This also
results in a corrupted(?) local_settings.txt
The demo version available from Runic Games refused to start for me (that's
probably bug #28546), the demo uses some kind of protection.
Let me know what debug log would be of help.
