Console Output wine 2.13 (Non-staging)

Hello everyone,

I downloaded GameRanger from http://www.gameranger.com/download/ and installed
it using a clean prefix with wine 2.13.

As noted in the AppDB I added the necessary winetricks commands for FlashPlayer
and mfc42

The application eventually starts up but is forced to crash. Console output is
attached.

If the error is caused by the

err:winediag:IcmpCreateFile Failed to use ICMP (network ping), this requires
special permissions.

message, this is a configuration issue and not a Wine bug. Have you checked if
it works after giving Wine-preloader the required permissions? The command to
do that is (adjust path to the wine-preloader executable if necessary).

sudo setcap cap_net_raw+epi /usr/bin/wine-preloader

I don't think it's the cause, since GameRanger is working for me in both 2.13
and 2.13-staging withour ICMP (Ubuntu 17.04).

PS : you can override dnsapi to native (windows) to get rid of those dnsapi
errors
