Twlight Frontier game

Dear Wine list,

I tried playing with Wine Grief Syndrome[1] a doujin
game from Twlight Frontier[2]. Both the installation
and the update works fine, and the game starts without
problems using the Japanese locale.

But when the game starts there is a strange flickering
and most objects on screen appear for a split second
or do not appear at all.

This is how it appears in my Linux:

This is how it appears in Win32:

As you can see the same motif is visible in the top
of the screen. While you cannot see it in the static
screenshot while executing seldom the gem would appear
for a little while and the screen becomes white and
black continuously.

I tried installing d3dx9_36 and it goes a little better,
but is is still unplayable. Instead with d3dx9 and
d3dx9_43 it crashes on start with a segfault.

[...]

What can I try?
Thanks

What version of Wine, what distro, what graphics card/driver?

When posting console output, please post the whole thing, including the command used to start the app. If it's long, use a site like pastebin and post a link here.

Actually most things you asked for are visible in the Linux screenshot, but I guess it is better write here too.

Here it is:
> uname -a
Linux mysticalwhatisit 3.1.4-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Nov 29 08:55:45 CET 2011 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
> wine --version
wine-1.3.34
> glxinfo | grep '^ser\|^cli'
direct rendering: Yes
OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
OpenGL renderer string: GeForce GTS 250/PCI/SSE2
OpenGL version string: 3.3.0 NVIDIA 290.10
OpenGL shading language version string: 3.30 NVIDIA via Cg compiler

About the +relay log I will post it as soon as I can (few hours probably).

Do NOT post a +relay log; just post normal terminal output.

Here it is the log from a clean sandboxed wineprefix where I only installed game and update.

Here it is the log from the same wineprefix after winetricks -q d3dx9 d3dx9_43.

Both the segfaults happened when I tried to leave. I am not sure what I did differently before. But maybe the copy corrupts if started once without the correct locale.

In both cases the execution command was:
LC_ALL=ja_JP.UTF-8 wine griefsyndrome.exe

Does it help?
