Ubuntu 24.04 can't run HoMM3 HotA (Wine 9.0)

[Ilya Kasnacheev]

~/Games/Homm3HotA% wine HD_Launcher
0128:err:module:loader_init "_hd3_.dll" failed to initialize, aborting
0128:err:module:loader_init Initializing dlls for L"Z:\\home\\ilyak\\Games\\Homm3HotA\\h3hota HD.exe" failed, status c0000005
% wine --version
wine-9.0 (Ubuntu 9.0~repack-4build3)

That's the gist of it. Launcher runs but game won't play with the error above. Non-HD h3hota.exe will also GPF immediately. What's surprising that every other Wine version that I've tried (via playonlinux) will of course run HotA just fine (it's an old, mature project) and previous Ubuntu 23.10 also ran HotA just fine.

% ~/.PlayOnLinux/wine/linux-x86/9.0/bin/wine HD_Launcher
# Runs fine

Perhaps I don't have winemono installed (that's the first thing playonlinux does), but it was working before the dist-upgrade and there is no apparent way to install it. Maybe there is any other kind of wine misconfiguration, but provided that I've just done a dist upgrade from 23.10, and it was running fine there, I consider that a regression.

HoMM3 HotA is obtainable at https://h3hota.com/en/download for the curious.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I have the same issue on the same version of wine and ubuntu.
On Ubuntu 23.10 I could run the game without issues.

Info about my system:

lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
Release: 24.04
Codename: noble

wine --version
wine-9.0 (Ubuntu 9.0~repack-4build3)

I can execute normal HoMM3 installed from GOG, bu I can't run HotA version or Heroes HD mode with the normal version.

In the console I can see such logs once I click Play in launcher:

0074:err:ole:start_rpcss Failed to start RpcSs service
00e0:err:module:loader_init "_hd3_.dll" failed to initialize, aborting
00e0:err:module:loader_init Initializing dlls for L"Z:\\home\\pk\\.wine\\drive_c\\GOG Games\\HoMM 3 Complete\\Heroes3 HD.exe" failed, status c0000005

I tried to remove ~/.wine directory and reinstall application, I tried to 32-bit WINE prefix but without success.
