RE: Game freezes before it even starts

I found more wine bugs related to this problem: #22629 and #21996. As they say, it seldom runs, mostly it does not. I wrote a small script to start it continuously until there is no "segmentation fault".
cd "/home/brazso/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Games/Far Cry/"
until env WINEPREFIX="/home/brazso/.wine" wine C:\\Games\\Far\ Cry\\Bin32\\FarCry.exe; do
echo 'Attempt to run Far Cry failed...'
done
