wine users - Aug 2010 - Thief 2 crashes after a few minutes

Hello everyone. Long time wine user, first time poster.

I've been trying to get Thief 2 to work. It installed without a hitch, and
by all accounts runs perfectly, but after about 3 or 4 minutes of game play, it
freezes up on me and I have to kill the process.

No amount of googling or studying the appdb entry has been able to help me. It
would be much appreciated if someone could give me some insight on this.

Here's some relevant information...
Wine Version: wine-1.2
OS: Fedora 13 x86_64

Console output:

Code:
schedtool -a 0x2 -e wine thief2.exe

I've tried it with schedtool, tasksel, and neither of the two, and I still
get the same result.

Anyone have any ideas?

Can you try with the 32 bit version of Wine 1.3.0 which was released on 
Friday?  It should be available from the Fedora registry by now.

If it is not, I'll ask on Fedora users list how to get it.

It is interesting that you are receiving a thread dead lock as well...

Thanks for the response, James.
I couldn't find a pre-packaged version of 1.3 anywhere for fedora, including
the updates-testing repo, so I grabbed the source and compiled it myself.
Unfortunately the problem still persists for me in 1.3 with basically the same
console output.

The more I tinker with this, the more I want to play Thief 2!  [Crying or Very
sad]  :)
