--- Comment #1 from Olivier F. R. Dierick o.dierick@piezo-forte.be --- Hello,
Issues in a single application are severity 'normal'. Read more about severity levels descriptions there: https://wiki.winehq.org/Bugs#severity
If it works with wine 7.0 and not 7.18, a regression test may be useful. Instructions for regression testing can be found there: https://wiki.winehq.org/Regression_Testing
Does the issue happen with the demo? English demos can be found there: https://www.fileplanet.com/archive/p-14649/Gothic-II-Demo https://www.gamepressure.com/download.asp?ID=7381
Do you use addons? If yes, please indicate the name, version number and install order of the addons.
Regards.

--- Comment #3 from next_ghost doucha@swarmtech.cz --- I can confirm the same problem with Gothic 1, CD version 1.08k as well. The game works fine on WINE 7.0 but I'm getting msdbi.dll init faiulre at least since Wine 7.14. Updating to Wine 7.18 did not help.
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53741
--- Comment #4 from next_ghost doucha@swarmtech.cz --- Bisecting found the following breaking change:
commit 660332326e474b16fb2cb09605eed6cdd212ecdd kernelbase: Stop using an offset for HLOCAL pointers.
I cannot reproduce the issue using the Gothic 2 demo from gamepressure.com, the game does not start with or without the breaking commit.
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53741
--- Comment #5 from next_ghost doucha@swarmtech.cz --- And I can also confirm that the same commit breaks Gothic 2 from GOG: https://www.gog.com/en/game/gothic_2_gold_edition
The game will start fine on Wine without commit 660332326e474b16fb2cb09605eed6cdd212ecdd.

--- Comment #6 from Béla Gyebrószki gyebro69@gmail.com --- Added Gothic 1 demo download link because it is also affected.
Strangely, a fresh install of Gothic 2 v2.7 from GOG doesn't have the problem on my system (they updated the installer in May 2022, adding Windows 10 compatibility fixes).
Gothic 1 however, does show the problem reported here.

I should have checked for updates. I've used the older version of Gothic 2 from 2017.

I believe this should be fixed after fe3c5e93e21d72789a98a3d9ab8031146e56b058.
I can confirm that both Gothic 1 and 2 work again in WINE 7.21 which includes the above commit. Thanks.
