--- Comment #1 from Neko-san nekoNexus@protonmail.ch --- Created attachment 76304 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=76304 Backtrace
(Also, to clarify, I did not configure Wine to run in the new experimental WoW64 mode that forgoes 32-bit libraries; this is a normal 64-bit+32-bit build)

--- Comment #2 from Béla Gyebrószki gyebro69@gmail.com --- Crashes on start because the game needs Nvidia Physx, but Physx can't be installed in Wine 9.5 or 9.6 due to a regression in Wine. The blamed commit is the one from bug #56483. If you "downgrade" your wineprefix to Wine 9.4 then you can install Physx which comes bundled with the game and Alpha Protocol should be able to run.

--- Comment #3 from Neko-san nekoNexus@protonmail.ch --- Update: Still occurs with vanilla 9.8

--- Comment #4 from Béla Gyebrószki gyebro69@gmail.com --- Is this still a problem for you in Wine-9.10 (or newer), Neko-san ? If indeed the game didn't start because Physx could not be installed, then this problem must have been solved by commit 0bad544aab9e2c9ee93bbabac0386e02c58a39c0.

--- Comment #5 from Neko-san nekoNexus@protonmail.ch --- It'll take me a bit before I can test this; I've been sort of stranded from home for a few weeks, so I don't have access to my desktop.
