Duplicate of 7042? I think IWD and IWD2 have the same bioware engine and errors
looks similar.

Console output

I'm confirming the bug, console output attached.

For me the popup box says:
> Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime
> Runtime error!
> Program: C:\games\id2\id2.exe
> abnormal program termination

The library seems to be statically linked, so it's not a question of
native/builtin DLL.

This can't be a duplicate bug, as I've already got IWD working.

Output after changing wine version

I tried with the current git, and it worked, once. I did a lot of testing (an
inverse regression test) and got very interesting and contradictory results.
Then I tried once again with wine 1.1.7 (from Arch Linux repository, same as
before), and now this version worked as well. But only once.

Conclusion: IWD2 works if it is run right after switching to a different wine
version. It works exactly once and it must be the first program to be run.
Also, the change in wine version must be such that running a program produces
this line of output:
> wine: configuration in '/home/user/.wine' has been updated.

What makes the first run different from the next ones (from the program's point
of view)? Logically there should not be any difference.

Workaround for the bug: Use two different wine versions and run IWD2 with
"wine2 some_empty.exe && wine iwd2.exe" ;)

Now it seems that the problem is always associated with importing characters.
(Sorry, my testing has not been too systematic.)

It also seems to me that this should be marked a duplicate of bug 7042, which
describes a similar bug for IWD1.

Is this still an issue in current (1.1.27 or newer) wine?

Yes, it's still the same.

Most likely some changes to the registry, I think. There is a way to find out
what changes in registry, BTW. Though you have to be certain that it's IWD2
first run that matters, not Wine's new versions first run? I.e. if you run some
other Wine programs (not IWD2) in newer Wine version, before launching IWD2,
then IWD2 will still work, once?

Anyway, I think that if you run do the regular steps you do to have IWD2 run
successfully, then (before running IWD!!) run older Wine's regedit and export
registry to some file, say, registry1.txt (Registry->Export Registry File.., be
sure to select file type win9x/NT), then run IWD2, then run newer wine's
regedit and again export registry to another file, then you might be able to
see what changed by

diff registry1.txt registry2.txt.

If you can do that, post the diff output here, it could be of some interest.
