Symptoms

The game crashes on what appears to be an assertion failure in wine-mono:

* Assertion: should not be reached at /vagrant/mono/mono/metadata/domain.c:505

This happens soon after loading Microsoft.DirectX.DirectInput, which the game uses for non-XInput gamepad support. FWIW, I believe had this working with wine-mono 4.8.1, so it should be somewhat easy to bisect.

Reproduction

1. Install Aces Wild
2. Start game with a fresh prefix
3. Wait for it to silently exit

Start with the attached steam-269230.log and the wine-mono assertion at mono/metadata/domain.c:505 after Microsoft.DirectX.DirectInput loads. Reproduce with a fresh prefix, then compare the reported working wine-mono 4.8.1 with the failing version and bisect if possible. Done means Aces Wild starts without silently exiting.
