With the current implementation of httpapi, the launcher works perfectly, but
when the game runs it breaks.

In the future, you can generally compress the log and attach it. Text files
compress well.

Unfortunately, it's not really clear what's going wrong. I see a crash, but
nothing is obviously causing it. Can you try adding +relay?

The relay log was 2GB in size, I compressed it with 7zip and it was 30MB, but I
can't attach it

Sure, in that case it's best to upload it elsewhere, hence "generally" above
:-)

What happens if you create the values SystemBiosVersion and VideoBiosVersion in
HKLM\Hardware\Description\System? I'm not particularly sure what values they
should have, but on my virtual machine they're both REG_MULTI_SZ values that
describe the virtual machine software vendor.

If that doesn't work, I'd try creating the
HKLM\System\ControlSet001\Control\Class{4D36E968-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\0000
key. If neither work, can you please upload a new log? Assuming that it's still
going to be registry problems, let's say +seh,+pid,+debugstr,+reg,+server, and
if that doesn't offer any further clues we'll go back to analyzing relay logs.

wine Launcher.exe (+seh,+pid,+debugstr,+reg,+server)

I'm not the OP, but in my Windows 10 installation (which is installed alongside
Arch Linux, in the same computer), only the SystemBiosVersion key is present.
Anyway, I've created them, ran the PUBG Lite Launcher and it still crashed, but
after the wineserver process is finished, the keys I added are automatically
removed by wine.

I've also exported this key from my Win10 installation, but the game still
couldn't run. I'm attaching a log file (+seh,+pid,+debugstr,+reg,+server).

It's worth mentioning that once you click on the "Run" button in the PUBG
launcher, nothing happens (visually), and if you try to terminate this new
LauncherAgent.exe" process that is created, the PUBG launcher will keep
spawning new ones indefinitely. So the log file probably interrupts at some
random instruction, because I had to Ctrl+C at some point.

Forgot to mention that I'm running Wine Staging 4.15, on Arch Linux, on a fresh
64-bit prefix (I've only installed .NET, by running "winetricks dotnet472")

Ugh, right, that key is volatile. Presumably you should still be able to add
the values and then run PUBG Lite so long as you keep the prefix alive between
these (e.g. by just keeping regedit open); is this what you did?

Did the ControlSet001 key you added contain a DriverDesc value?

If the answers to both questions are "yes", I guess the registry queries are
probably a red herring...

Eh, to clarify, I mean the 0000 key, not literally the ControlSet0001 key.

wine Launcher.exe (no extra flags)
> Presumably you should still be able to add the values and then run PUBG Lite so long as you keep the prefix alive between these (e.g. by just keeping regedit open); is this what you did?

Yup, I did exactly that.

Also yes, the value being "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660". As I exported the whole
ControlSet0001 key from my Win10 installation, it added a bunch of other keys
too. I would share the .reg file, but I'm not sure if contains any sensitive
information.

Anyway, if you have some other debugging flags I could try, I'd be glad to
help. I haven't seen the log files from Esdras, but in my case, when I click
the run button in the PUBG launcher, the following message pops up in the
terminal:
> 013f:err:seh:setup_exception stack overflow 1824 bytes in thread 013f eip 000000007bcdd615 esp 0000000000130ef0 stack 0x130000-0x131000-0x230000

I'm attaching a smaller log file, that was generated when I ran "wine
Launcher.exe".

Maybe it's the game's anticheat, according to the game's support at this link:
https://litesupport.pubg.com/hc/en-us/articles/360019055093-Error-message-in...
the anticheat is quite invasive and may even ban your hardware, this is just a
speculation.

I discovered a probable workaround to save volatile registry keys, run
wineserver -w before closing regedit.
