immi101: the bug report states that it occured when using the default Windows 7 mode. Maybe that's the difference why it works for you?
i would also recommend to not use any winetricks unless they are really necessary (like directx9 here). It just makes bug hunting a lot harder.
InkPanther: My PoL uses Win XP as default. It hardly ever fails and changing to Win 7 ends in errors and crashes most of the time. i would also recommend to not use any winetricks unless they are really necessary (like directx9 here). It just makes bug hunting a lot harder.
but my point was rather that maybe the bug that Judas mentioned can be avoided by switching to Windows XP mode.
if you switch your wineprefix to windows 7 and see the same error as in the bug report than we would have one more confirmed hint where this bug is coming from.
if it still works for you in windows 7 mode then there is obviously some other factor responsible for this bug.
