--- Comment #14 from Anastasius Focht focht@gmx.net --- Hello folks,
adding stable download link via Internet Archive for documentation.

It's pathofexile v0.9.12 from 2012, most likely matching what was used to report the bug. The client can't work anymore due to changes in update protocol.
I've played a bit around using command line parameters documented at:
https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Launch_options
To avoid the hang on non-open port -> '--no-patch'
--- snip --- $ wine ./Client.exe --nologo --nopatch --- snip ---
Unfortunately without proper patch/update data the game can't work. Even if the old client version asset URLs are known, all the data is gone from the servers/CDNs hence the game (client) state from 2012 can't be reproduced.
I've found two 'OleLoadPicture' calls in the trace logs when running the launcher/client but they are fine - even with Wine 1.4-rc2

It might have been something else in the end and OP might have drawn wrong conclusions. That's why it's important to provide information such as backtraces and trace output to let other folks make their own judgement.
I've seen way too many cases where wrong conclusions were drawn because of scary looking fixme/warns in console/logs and/or fixing a follow-up problem but not the root cause which lets them get away with it due to faulty or relaxed app error handling.
One example that always comes to my mind: bug 14218 ("OleLoadPictureEx is not fully implemented")
Quoting myself:
--- quote --- ... the VB6 runtime causes these messages to be emitted during error handling. They are benign and not reason of VB6 applications misbehaving -> can be safely ignored.
