Really? With all due respect, you've come to the Wine bug tracker to rant about your opinion that the bug should not be fixed by the Wine project. How is that practical? Isn't that just trolling?
Excuse me?! I've provided two solutions and one workaround/fix to this problem already. How many have you provided?
I don't see how seeking a practical solution to the problem and looking to solve it constitutes as trolling. Maybe we have very different definitions of what constitutes as useful.
Also, I was not "ranting" about how the bug "should not" be fixed, but explaining why it hasn't been and why it won't be in Wine.
The fact stands that this bug/issue hasn't been solved in 11 years.
(And this sort of discriminating, elitist attitude/culture here is part of the reason why it hasn't been solved, to be honest. It creates a rift between users and the Wine developers, and discourages teamwork and participation in solving the problem.)
If you're so convinced of being right and want to be practical just go start your own Storm Engine fixing project and stop wasting other people's time with a pointless debate.
We both know that this is impossible, since the source code to the game engine is not available. If you have a personal problem with me, this is NOT the place to vent your frustrations. This place is for solving this issue/bug with the games on Wine.
Just because you don't agree with my personal perspective or the solutions I've provided doesn't give you the right to call me a troll and discriminate against my "opinions" or person. I have just as much a right to contribute to solving this problem as anyone else who has contributed to this discussion.
