So I think we should close this until these PSOBB servers remove what they put into their exe's and it should solve the problem.
This issue affects three different releases of the game listed here:
https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=6505
1.25.10 (Tethealla) was patched by Sodaboy for use on his open source server. This version of the game was based off of the Japanese client (which iirc was the only one to support Windows 7). There might be some info on the pioneer2.net forum archives about what exactly was patched aside from the language & GameGuard.
1.24.3 is the _official_unmodified_client_ direct from SEGA. It runs against both of Fuzziqer's server releases. The game launcher (which is needed to launch the game) is distributed in both binary and source forms. The client finds the server through host redirects.
I've always been a proponent of using the 1.24.3 release to debug this issue as literally nothing has been changed or altered. I guess that version isn't as popular because it's a little more complicated to set up. All of this is documented here (also linked from the Wine AppDB page):

I haven't analyzed Schthack's patch (or, more accurately the patch distributed by the people still running the site). If there is indeed a problem with it then that release (and only that release) should be removed from the AppDB.
This bug still occurs on both 1.25.10 (Tethealla) as well as the unmodified client (I test them both) so in that context it's still valid.
Thoughts?
