Bug ID: 57507
           Summary: XCOM 2 needs native vcomp120
           Product: Wine
           Version: 9.22
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: vcomp

WINEDEBUG=+vcomp, starting the game, loading a save that exhibits the problem,
exiting the game

The XCOM 2 base game from gog (I can't find a version number ingame) basically
runs fine, but units can't be moved unless native vcomp120 is used.

I think - but this is just conjecture - that the game uses vcomp to run the
path finding algorithm and with builtin vcomp it fails to find any valid
position.

There are several messages from the engine in the log. These are completely
identical to a run with native vcomp120 (including the 'GetEndPoint called on
an invalid path during shutdown of the engine), except the order of the
SlumsSkyline_x messages seems somewhat random.

There doesn't seem to be a demo available, unfortunately.

Note that there seems to be an unrelated issue with wined3d (sometimes/randomly
most of the scene is rendered black, but the game is still working and usable).

Have you checked whether installing vcrun2013 fixes the issue?
This has worked in other cases, so it is included as a How-To on the game's
AppDB page: https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=41821

:sigh:

Please explain what do you think the library content of vcrun2013 is ?

(you've basically added nothing over what OP already found out (besides maybe
existence of the appdb page))

Thank you! The How-To was what originally got me on track for this issue. The
intent of this issue is to document in more detail which part of wines builtin
dlls still needs work. And the symptom is interesting enough that I was curious
whether it could actually be caused by msvcr120.

Well, that wasn't too constructive:-(
Please don't do that.
