Sling TV terminal output

I installed the Windows-7-and-up version of Sling TV's channel-watching app.
(there's also the Win10-only app, but I'm not sure if that's even a win32api
program)

Upon running it, it just brings up a black window and crashes. Doesn't even get
as far as prompting me to login or showing the list of channels.

Download Link: http://webapp.movetv.com/player/win/slingtv.msi
Install Location: ~/.wine/drive_c/users/Public/Application Data/Sling

Distro: Gentoo
Kernel: 4.7.4

I noticed you have Wine set to Windows XP. Can you try setting Wine to Windows
7 and see if the program behaves differently?

Oh, sorry, I didn't even realize... so, I just switched my default Windows
version to 7 and the behavior of Sling.exe is the same. Output is the same as
before.

Hmmmm. One thing for sure is that the program is crashing because of something
going on with the msvcrt or msvcrt120 component since it's the first mentioned
in the backtrace:

Backtrace:
=>0 0x7c09a1c6 MSVCRT_wcslen+0x6() in msvcr120 (0x0033dc28)

Maybe a WINEDEBUG=+msvcrt log would help in this case? Not sure so perhaps
someone who works on Wine will see this...

Perhaps the black screen is connected to the application crashing at msvcrt
before it can possibly get to the point where it loads the graphic assets that
would allow you to see the login or list of channels.

Does 'winetricks vcrun2013' help?

Just about every developer is subscribed to wine-bugs, fyi ;)

I already had that runtime installed. I uninstalled it and reran Sling to see
if it'd crash any differently. No difference that I'm capable of seeing.

ELF     7c31d000-7c3fe000       Dwarf           msvcr120<elf>
  -PE  7c340000-7c3fe000       \               msvcr120

shows that you're using builtin msvcr120, not native.

Tested only staging this time 2.0 and same crash location and the window
content is pretty much all black.

Using native msvcr120 doesnt help anything.

it might be a bug related to network issues. just before things go wrong
theres a call to GetAdpetersAddresses from iphlpapi; maybe it returns wrong
data/sizes/just a wild guess

Still valid wine 2.6 and staing 2.5.

I tried winetricks -q allfonts since backtrace had libcef word mentioned.
