Created attachment 76100
  --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=76100
Console output with two debug output

Everytime I try to run an .exe that is a game patch for a Windows game that
runs great under Wine I get this message in a popup:

"The procedure entry point GetPointerDeviceRects could not be located in the
dynamic link library USER32.dll"

I tried different things but with no success.
Someone told me that is possible to create a patch for this issue.
I'm attaching the console output and WINEDEBUG=loaddll,relay output.

Tried on Ubuntu 22.04.4, 23.10 and Fedora 39.
With Wine 9.3 and WoW64 compiled.
Older Wine versions, clean wineprefix, installing dotnet and visualC++
packages.

Not critical. But a download would be useful indeed.

Hello! Thank you for your effort to solve this.
My computer died and I was without a computer to access until now, sorry for
take so long to reply. I'm trying to apply the patch you submitted but I get an
"undefined reference to" error when compiling.

I ran these commands after open terminal at source code directory and paste
there the patch file:

1)./tools/make_specfiles
2) patch -p1 < "c432bdb783693e11cfbf296e82295cda855702dc.diff"
3) ./configure --enable-archs=i386,x86_64
4) make -j8

Then after sometime compiling it fails due to this "undefined reference to" and
it says be related to some user32 file.

Well, I can upload the exe itself somewhere since I have it because you won't
be able to download anywhere as it is tied to a patreon subscription. You can
execute (and that's what I want to do) even without a subscription.

Is this still necessary?

please run ./tools/makespecfiles again, you have to run it after applying the
patch not before

Yes! I compiled successfully now. Sorry for this little mistake.

It seems to work, but now I get "GetPointerFrameTouchInfo could not be located
in the dynamic link library USER32.dll"

...sorry for the noise, but I've got a question: what process is used here by
this patch for detecting those symbols ?

If the log isn't truncated, it's neither GetProcAddress nor the standard one as
there's no relevant 'missing' line even with 'loaddll'.

the app displays a message box and that's how we are currently debugging it, im
sure it would be much faster to use WINEDEBUG=+module or smth like that

That's just the thing: in this context (seemingly ntdll/loader.c) 'module' and
'loaddll' are the same, so I'm curious why there's nothing in those logs - in
case of failure there should be, right ? So, am I failing to see something in
the sources or is that patch doing something 'cute' ?

(yes, to the problem at hand it's (most likely) irrelevant, still, I'm curious
what's happening there)

module and loadll print very different things (module prints a lot more), i
think module includes loaddll, but loaddll does not include module.

actually since commit c80f806e868bee642d4d3dea326409ee911fdbc8, a warning is
printed every time a symbol is not found in a library

try decompiling the .exe to figure out what other exports are needed (I use
ghidra)

I have ghidra installed now and got the exe analyzed, but how can I export what
you need?
