Space Empires V Fails Without Error

Hello,

I'm trying to install Space Empires V. I have an error where the main menu launches okay, but starting anything from it fails silently and the screen is still there. I've tried setting Off Screen Rendering to Backbuffer, as orm=backbuffer seems to be the default thing to try with games. I've also disabled Strict Draw Ordering, also to no effect. I have the same problem when running with a default Wine installation with winetricks. I've swapped out multiple versions of Wine, all of which have the same problem.

I installed library overrides for d3dx9, which didn't help.

Using the debugger is a little difficult because it's spitting out a constant error about the audio (which I don't care about):

fixme:amstream:AudioMediaStreamImpl_IAudioMediaStream_GetFormat (0x36823a4/0x36823a0)->(0xc550a4) stub!

with the numbers changing. It seems to spit this out once per sample, which makes using the logs difficult. I'm also getting these:

ALSA lib conf.c:3357:(snd_config_hooks_call) Cannot open shared library libasound_module_conf_pulse.so
ALSA lib pcm.c:2266:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default

Any advice would be much appreciated.
