Wine - probably nt.dll error.

Question

Hi.
I try to run a game, which used to work just fine on my previous hardware.
It has platinum rank on appdb. When I execute it, menu comes up and then game freezes with error:
fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x32f3f0,0x00000000), stub!
fixme:d3d:WineD3D_ChoosePixelFormat Add OpenGL context recreation support to SetDepthStencilSurface
fixme:dinput:SysMouseAImpl_Acquire Clipping cursor to (440,0)-(1246,625)
fixme:ddraw:IDirectDrawImpl_RestoreAllSurfaces (0x12e228): Stub
fixme:ddraw:IDirectDrawImpl_WaitForVerticalBlank (0x12e228)->(1,(nil)): Stub
err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x7b6b8040 "x11drv_main.c: X11DRV_CritSection" wait timed out in thread 001b, blocked by 0009, retrying (60 sec)
fixme:dinput:SysMouseAImpl_Acquire Clipping cursor to (440,25)-(1246,650)
The strange thing is - it's runs smooth for 3-5 seconds and then crashes. After some research I found out that it may be caused by some multi-threading error in wine (I have AMD X2 240 and integrated Radeon HD 4200, powered up by fglrx driver).
It's all the same for every version . I have tried even an another distro, but the outcome doesn't change.
On additional note: some other games/apps work just fine.
How can I solve this?

Answer 1

Update:
Installation of catalyst-beta drivers eliminated the nt.dll error, the game doesn't crash anymore, but runs painfully slow, while the whole system is responsive and other non-native games run in 60 fps. I tried to edit direct3d entry in registry of wine, but that doesn't do the trick. Tried aticonfig --psuedo-color=on too. Error log looks like that now:
fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x32f434,0x00000000), stub!
fixme:x11drv:X11DRV_desktop_SetCurrentMode Cannot change screen BPP from 32 to 16
fixme:d3d:WineD3D_ChoosePixelFormat Add OpenGL context recreation support to SetDepthStencilSurface
fixme:dinput:SysMouseAImpl_Acquire Clipping cursor to (0,0)-(800,600)
fixme:ddraw:IDirectDrawImpl_RestoreAllSurfaces (0x138e50): Stub
In my alternative linux distro, on the other partition, the game runs smooth but crashes, so it's like reversed situation.
Update 2:
It seems that it works flawless in windowed mode, but has issues in fullscreen - even in wine's virtual desktop. My wild guess was "vsync", but disabling it solved nothing.
fixme:ddraw:IDirectDrawImpl_WaitForVerticalBlank (0x145e18)->(1,(nil)): Stub
