wine-2.5-226-g9e35dd1545 terminal output

When attempting to start the game called The Lord of the Rings: War in the
North either via Steam or running the game's executable directly in the
terminal, the game opens up a window for about 10 seconds or so and then
promptly crashes without leaving so much as a backtrace.

I am running the game in Windows 7 mode. When I install the game via Steam it
appears to successfully perform the first time setup steps (installing DirectX,
the Visual C redistributables). I don't have any overrides installed via
winetricks.

Wine version 2.5-226-g9e35dd1545

Please let me know if you need further info or which channels I should use when
making a log file in case the terminal output doesn't give any clues.

This may not be relevant at all, but were you aware of bug 40884?

Well, on my system I use Pulse Audio exclusively and Wine is not compiled with
OSS support on my system so I am not sure how that bug may apply in this
case...

As I thought too that you are most likely using alsa or pulseaudio. But I just
rechecked the bug and a thought came to my mind that if the title is just
assumption that the cause is the certain audio. I read few comments and I came
to conclusion that there is no clear clue that the real reason is OSSv4.

It's actually regression bug and there is another bug with same regression id.
Could you try reverting the commit and test again?

Does the bug still occur with wine-6.19?
