I am a noob and I am also having this issue with watch dogs. This thread says that it has been fixed, but I do not know where to apply the patches or anything. Can someone please tell me how to apply the fix and which patch I need of the two provided?
Most likely the reason why you are still encountering this bug is because you are using an outdated version of Wine. The easiest way to fix it would be to upgrade to a more recent version (>= 1.7.31). If your distribution doesn't provide an up-to-date version, you can check the download page of winehq.org.
If there is any specific reason why you need this fix with an old version, you will have to build Wine and apply the patch yourself. You can find more information about that on the Wiki, for example https://wiki.winehq.org/Building_Wine. If you need additional help with building Wine, the WineHQ forums are a better place to ask, by the way.
