The demo works flawlessly.

--- Comment #4 from Fabian Maurer dark.shadow4@web.de --- Might be related to it being a gog version, but I don't really know. Can you attach a +seh log again?

--- Comment #6 from Fabian Maurer dark.shadow4@web.de --- Okay, seems to be a different issue then. But since it seems specific to the gog version, I can't really test, sorry.

Hi Fabian,
Would a donated copy of the game help? I am willing to donate a copy of the game to you if it helps :)

I'm not sure, I'm just a hobby-dev and I really don't know how complicated the error will turn out to be.
According to the appdb, it used to work, so it should be possible to run it. Can you try whether an old wine version works, like 1.8.3?

I just tried with Wine 1.8.3 and got the same result. It seems to be specifically the GOG version that makes problems here.

--- Comment #10 from Fabian Maurer dark.shadow4@web.de --- Maybe gog updated the game, just know the appdb entry says it worked with 1.8.3. But after all, I never tested it myself.

--- Comment #11 from Peter Beutner p.beutner@gmx.net --- bug #41002 was fixed in 1.9.17. Maybe give that version a try. The game definitely worked for me back then. GOG hasn't updated the game since then, from what I can see.
i'll try to find some time to test it with a current wine version

--- Comment #13 from Fabian Maurer dark.shadow4@web.de --- So, what did you change that you now get a message instead of the program just not starting at all?
Did you try installing the vc-runtime with winetricks?

Nothing changed, I did get this message every time, just need to scroll quite a bit to see it since the resolution is screwed up every time after that.
The one encouraging me to make bug reports here said, I should only do that with clean prefixes.
Which runtime would that be? I just tried it with vcrun2013 applied but same result.
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44065
--- Comment #15 from Fabian Maurer dark.shadow4@web.de --- I think it's vcrun2008.

you need to start frontend.exe, not worms2.exe sry, totally missed that
(and don't try to start it with GOGLauncher.exe, that one tries to play some video first which fails horribly.)

There is nothing fixed in wine, and it should work with worms2.exe too.
there is nothing to be fixed in wine. see the details from the bug i linked earlier.
when you start worms2.exe directly it reads Data\land.dat to know which level to load. While frontend.exe allows you to choose a level, then calls landgen.exe which modifies Data\land.dat to point to the correct level, and then launches worms2.exe
The problem is that the GOG ships a Data\land.dat which points to a level in 'c:\nw2'. Which normally doesn't exist (unless by chance you installed worms into that path). That's why launching worms2.exe produces an error.
if you launch frontend.exe first, it will write the correct path into land.dat and the game starts up fine. subsequent launches via worms2.exe should actually work after the first one.
if anything this is a GOG packaging bug. But since you normally run the game via frontend.exe it is a rather obscure corner case
