--- Comment #1 from Bruno Jesus  ---
The user in your OS does not have privileges to change the time. You can allow
the wine applications to change time doing (as root):

setcap 'cap_sys_time=+ep' <path to wine preloader>

The path depends on how Wine is installed, an example:
setcap 'cap_sys_time=+ep' /usr/bin/wine-preloader

Remember that Wine is not a sandbox, the time change will affect your OS. If
time sync fails silently in the application I believe its better to ignore it
than allowing every app to change time.

$ which wine-preloader
/usr/bin/wine-preloader

# setcap 'cap_sys_time=+ep' /usr/bin/wine-preloader
Failed to set capabilities on file `/usr/bin/wine-preloader' (Invalid argument)
The value of the capability argument is not permitted for a file. Or the file
is not a regular (non-symlink) file
