The game crashes with dxvk after the first call to IDirect3DDevice8::CreateVertexShader(). In the native trace one can observe it's supposed to do a set of 4, however with dxvk it crashes in game code right after the first.

Haven't spotted anything odd yet, except maybe that we're returning a different handle than native. We return 1, whereas native returns 3. I've adjusted this for testing purposes and it still hasn't fixed the crash, so it's most likely something else.

Dont seems to work with classic 8TO9 wrappers releases, but then it works with dxwrapper, seems since v1.1.6900.22 release

quartz crackling sound - needs native, media foundation intro video - you can skip that, he, he... but OK that is not our thing.
dxwrapp do not require d3dx9/compiler like classic d3d8to9 do, so maybe that is a thing here maybe not... but sure doing some things around differently than classic d3d8to9.

BTW, on demo there it is not that.... you have to run full version and exe with Windows 7 fix, as without that it also missbehave... for that maybe you have to set win ver as XP, but with that cursor is corrupted, dont allow you more resolutions, dont allow you all settings to set, etc... so yeah, that is also a thing that makes difference..
Widescreen patch seems just stretched, but if you dont mind fat people looking even more fatter then OK 🤣

Quick hexing it up to 1440x1080 to make this look correct:

Pretty much everyting works now, even a video, just needs native quartz... and yeah mfc42 for installer but that is usual stuff... maybe these gstreamer and new ffmpeg beckend are fighting a bit there who gonna play what in a wine 9.18, not sure in that, whatever.
Yesterday i played a bit DS2 at a 7:8 resolution (somewhere right in between 4:3 and 3:4) as i noticed that everything fit well at such aspect ratio with this game and without any mods, but then they put me in prison 🤣

Why people trying to widescreening everything i dont understand, some games arent made for that really, at some cases about square aspect looks perfect. Like in this DS2 where you mostly go forward, it make sense and sounds better to turn aspect completely around, FOV auto looks right too, etc... I wish i have square screen or 8:7 pivot or something like that maybe 16:18 (so called dual-up 16:9) thats quite close too, for some old games that fits quite right. For side scrollers wider screens make sense, but in games where you mostly going forward plus bird eye camera wide sounds quite stupid.
