Hi, reading the other tests on appdb this bug seems to be existing at least from wine-1.6 but game is report as run smootly and flawlessly about wine 1.3.x, this might suggest a regression, but the involved versions of wine are too old to be run or compiled on updated systems... is there another way I don't know to detect such early-regression?
No _good_options...
It's time consuming, but if you're adventurous, see https://wiki.winehq.org/Reverse_Regression_Testing
Basically, you need to find what patches made it so that wine does build on modern systems, then you need to cherry pick those commits when building the older versions. The further back you go, however, the more cherry picking that may be required.
Alternatively, again, if you're adventurous and have lots of time, you could install an older distro (i.e., one released around the time of wine-1.6) and build the older versions on that (assuming you have spare disk space/etc.).
