Hello, I have a game which runs almost perfectly (Europa Universalis III), there's just one problem: when you click a province to open the dialog, there is a noticeable delay.

I am trying to play Diablo II v1.03 using Wine version 20041201 (the version currently in Debian Unstable). The game installs fine, but when I try to play it, it does not load. Launching it in a terminal window under X, I see that Wine simply hangs - after several minutes of waiting I terminate the program. Running it in debug mode shows a lot of harmless noise, but no errors. I have tried
