regsvr32 spikes ram and doesn't complete

[--Cherry]

Hello,

I have been trying to install a game which requires the windows media feature pack, which wine currently does not support.
When searching on google for it, I found this post that explained how to get it working on linux.
After successfully completing the first steps, I tried running both

Code: Select all

wine regsvr32 msmpeg2vdec.dll 
wine regsvr32 msmpeg2adec.dll 

on the terminal, which prompted nothing for some time but I noticed a sudden spiking on ram that wasn't stopping.
After a little more time, the following logs started appearing on the terminal:

Code: Select all

Maximum number of clients reached0830:err:user:load_desktop_driver failed to load L"winex11.drv"
Maximum number of clients reached0838:err:user:load_desktop_driver failed to load L"winex11.drv"

Maximum number of clients reached08b8:err:user:load_desktop_driver failed to load L"winex11.drv"

And after Ctl+C'ing it, the following dump appeared too:

Code: Select all

09b4:fixme:console:default_ctrl_handler Terminating process 7ac on event 0

0bcc:fixme:console:default_ctrl_handler Terminating process 204 on event 0
09d0:fixme:console:default_ctrl_handler Terminating process 71c on event 0

(The 1st logs only appeared when waiting until the ram had spiked some (~6-8GBs), but the second logs were always dumped when force-stopping it)
As for techincal data, my OS is Arch linux 5.15.10 and my wine version is wine-6.23-1

I have been trying to find a solution for hours, but eventually gave up and decided to post here to look for some help, so any input is greatly appreciated.
