Created attachment 63420 [details] WIP patch
Does this help for Spine?
Awesome, this works great (wine-vanilla-3.0.3)
I quickly tested by activating "Gothic I Classic Texture Mix" and "Gothic I 3D + Mesh Patch" in Spine and indeed the game starts with improved graphics.
Sidenote: Out of interest I also tried to activate "D3D11 Renderer Clockwork Edition", which (as expected) did not work. I think the reason for this is more complicated and CreateSymbolicLink is not to blame in the first place, however I do see these messages:
016f:fixme:file:CreateSymbolicLinkW Directories are not supported
I don't know the internals of Spine, but if other patches/mods also rely on linking directories, it could be that they do not work as well.
