Log with +loaddll,+trace,+seh

Hi,

The game WRC 9: FIA World Rally Championship crashes on launch when Windows
version is set to 10.

This seems to be caused by explicitly loading a native dll shipped with the
game (in "UWP/xinput1_3.dll") Wine by default loads the builtin dll of the same
name and the game crashes. The game does not crash if xinput1_3.dll is set to
native.

The game requires the patches from bug #44650 , to start. I'm not sure if this
is a related issue where the game is very particular how dll's are loaded?

WRC 8, the games predecessor, have the same problem.

Workarounds include setting xinput1_3 to native, deleting "UWP/xinput1_3.dll",
or keeping Windows version set to 7.

This is very much a low priority issue as there are plenty of workarounds but I
thought it prudent to report the issue before Wine switches to reporting
version 10 by default.

There's a built in crash handler in the game, so I'm not sure how to get a
proper backtrace. Log captured with +loaddll,+trace,+seh is attached.

winedump for game and windows xinput1_3 dlls

It looks like the xinput1_3 loaded by the game is not a dll shipped by Windows.
It's called XInputUWP64_r.dll, is much smaller, and have far fewer functions
than the normal dll.

I presume it's some sort of wrapper that translates xinput to whatever UWP
uses?

I have attached a winedump for the game dll comparing it to the native version.

I suppose this should be renamed to something like "windows.gaming.input:
actually support controllers".
