Disclaimer

The game was NOT installed via steam as I don't own the steam version, so I'm also running it via the proton version provided by the system!

Symptoms

Running the game results in wine outputting:

0061:err:seh:setup_exception stack overflow 1792 bytes in thread 0061 eip 000000007bc68d9a esp 0000000000140f10 stack 0x140000-0x141000-0x520000

Reproduction

Simply trying to run the game executable via wine.

Additional information

I experimented with older versions of the game, they all seem to have the same problem.

Hello folks,

that crash is Wine bug: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19505
The 64-bit versions of EEP crash with that stack overflow during exception handling/unwinding.
I've updated the bug to mention/include all newer EEP versions as well.

On mainline Wine there is another crash with the custom DRM scheme (process memory layout) before this problem. Because Proton borrows quite a number of patches from Wine-Staging, you don't encounter that one.
