Debugger backtrace

This game (We Got Explosives! 2) installs just fine, but it crashes on startup.
It is shareware and you can download it from
http://www.jonneweb.net/pelit/dl_start.php?f=993&m=3

The game crashes right after displaying the game's name in yellow on black
background but before showing game menu.

I used wine as packaged in Arch Linux (x86_64) and a new 32-bit wine prefix
with Wine configured to Windows XP. XP is the Windows I last used to play this
game (years ago though).

I will attach command line output shortly, because it looks like I can't put
more than one attachment to one message.

Assertion fault message on Windows 95/98

Interestingly if I set Windows version to 95 or 98 I get this assertion fault
window when it crashes.

Debugger backtrace when setting version to Windows 98, just in case it's
different somehow

The download link seems to be bad, sorry. This one should work:
http://www.jonneweb.net/pelit/file/993/we-got-explosives-2/

This is in Finnish, so click "Lataa" (download in English) button below the
screenshot and then "Lataa tästä" (download here) and it should download the
game.

Works fine for me with wine-3.0-rc4 in a fresh WINEPREFIX, also on Arch Linux.

Just a blind guess, but what is your working directory? Can you cd into the
directory the exe is located and then just run "wine wge2"?

You are absolutely right! I tried it from my home directory and it didn't work.
Now I first changed to correct directory and I have no issue. Thanks!
