--- Comment #6 from Anastasius Focht focht@gmx.net --- Hello folks,
revisiting, most likely still present.
Replacing broken download link with new ones:
Full Spectrum Warrior:
https://www.4players.de/4players.php/download_start/Downloads/Download/49798...
The Suffering:
https://megagames2.online/downloads.php?file=midway_suffering.exe&646965...
Unfortunately the company that developed the DRM scheme has ceased to exist. Part of the DRM design requires an online connection hence all games are broken.

Using '/etc/hosts' trickery won't work.

"The Suffering" displays "Internet connection required to play the game". "Full Spectrum Warrior" crashes in some app mshtml event callback which might be another Wine bug.

Pity that some time has been wasted on analysis though. Resolving 'abandoned' here.
