To be clear, are you using native directplay (winetricks directplay)? If so, this isn't an issue in winetricks directplay (and possibly is invalid, given the native component, but I'll leave that for someone more familiar with wine's directplay/networking components).
You are right, yet, the ticket is still valid, bc the issue stays the same with built in wine directplay implementation. I remade both prefixes, no winetricks directplay.. and the experience was exactly the same.
turns out that my firewall was tjhe problem on not working the first time, but again, super bad performance and very high cpu usage.
the ticket still holds.
