Yep, ntdll-ForceBottomUpAlloc patchset did the trick for it, so take note unless you just want to use full Wine staging that includes it anyway.

Opened a thread on the forum for more focused discussion.

By the way, looks like Wine staging has some essential patches (besides for esync obviously) that are needed for it. Without it (using just wine + esync) the game often hangs on some virutal memory allocation. But this doesn't seem to happen with Wine staging.

Trying to build Wine with ntdll-ForceBottomUpAlloc patch from staging, since it seems related.

Looks neat. I hope the project succeeds.

It hangs now very consistently after I finished the prologue and trying to enter the village.

I reported a bug to them, saying they should make this profile set up skippable in the settings / launch parameters.

Hangs in the game aren't uncommon, so I'd say it's not too stable yet and hopefully will get a lot of bug fixes soon.

It's not there yet, but it's a step in the right direction. I also hope it will eventually help old games that use weird / small resolutions like that. But it still needs some work for that and looks like developers do plan to improve it.

My guess would be it's making some on-line profile (Steam / GOG) but since I'm not using GOG Galaxy, it fails. But it wastes 15 seconds or more on each startup because of that.

Is there some way to skip that "Setting up profile" screen in the beginning? It seems to be doing something and then failing anyway and I have to press Esc to proceed there.

I meant loading a save. I think a workaround is to first exit to the main menu and then load a save. That seems to work more reliably.

One annoying issue is that lading a game half the time hangs it and requires launching the game again.
