Tested with latest wine and noticed no change. The game can be playable for a long time -- I played for over an hour without hitting the bug. I also was able to leave the application running for several minutes after the bug occurred, I timed out from the server I was on, and after reconnecting I didn't have the bug anymore and I wasn't effected for the rest of the run of wine. I restarted the whole thing in an attempt to trigger the bug again. Still got nothing. Restarted again and got the bug almost immediately. I'm not sure if it's a one-time-per-run thing that most of us just aren't patient enough to power through or not. Has anyone gotten this multiple times after recovering without a restart/relaunch?
I can confirm that after waiting for about 2 minutes the frame rate increases back to normal. The timeouts seem to be related to inactivity from the client not the bug itself. If I continue to "play" I do not get disconnected, but if I just wait with no interaction I time out and get kicked by the server.
