Bug ID: 48337
           Summary: Support for *.local files (aka Dynamic-Link Library
                    Redirection)
           Product: Wine
           Version: 5.0-rc2
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: wineserver
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
      Distribution: ---

It's really annoying, cumbersome and time consuming to make Wine use local
DLLs, e.g. Direct3D libraries by first running winecfg and then finding and
overriding the necessary DLLs.

Windows for as long as I remember has allowed to have a .local file (
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/dlls/dynamic-link-library-red...
) which makes the windows DLLs loader first search for requested DLLs/libraries
in the application directory then using system DLLs in case local DLLS are not
found.

Can we please have this feature implemented in Wine as well?
