That's odd, it works for me, both as a standalone build and with
lutris...

Does /dev/ntsync exist (module is loaded) and have nonzero permissions?
I forgot to mention that's necessary, sorry.

Otherwise I can try to look at an strace, or a Wine debug log. I don't
think there's an easy way to get the latter with Lutris, but something
like `WINEDEBUG=+all ./wine winecfg 2>log` should work.
