--- Comment #6 from Muffindrake muffindrake@protonmail.ch --- There was a game update to 9.6 recently which seems to have broken the ingame client in the same way that launching it when the wineprefix was set to Windows 7 did, meaning it will crash immediately when the user attempts to commence a game.
I suspect that they accidentally pushed code which makes use of this function prematurely.
There's a notice that claims that support for XP ends when/after 9.9 is released (or was it 9.14?), which makes the implementation of this function somewhat urgent, as that patch is slated for release somewhere around May (which doesn't change that the game is already not playable).
The patches in 4.4 staging aren't enough to successfully start a game (it will still crash).
