KUF:C works excellent on Play On Linux, my spec bellow:

Ubuntu 19.10, POL 32bit, wine 5.3-staging
i5, 930M, 8GB

Did you take any extra steps to get it working?

With wine 5.5 I get "DXVA2CreateDirect3dDeviceManager9 failed" and "SysInit failed"

With older versions (3.x and 5.2) the game runs, the main menu works beautifully, I go to the character select screen and once I try to start a new game, it crashes.

I tried installing a few different components through PlayOnLinux (d3dx9, etc) but no luck. Is the game crashing because it's trying to play an intro video or something? I tried, haphazardly, installing some different components like "VideoDriver" but I'm stabbing in the dark.

I also have 8 gb ram.

no, I didn't do anything special
