--- Comment #7 from vv221 accounts.winehq.org@vv221.fr --- (sorry, I sent the previous comment early by accident, here is the follow up)
When reverting the identified commit, WINE 8.4 no longer fails to start Startopia.
Reverting it on top of WINE 9.0 is barely more complex. After reverting this commit, WINE 9.0 can to run the game too.
Finally reverting it on top of the current master (1d3515481) is a bit more involved but can be done too. I am going to attach a patch for that one. On current master and with this patch applied, the game runs successfully.
