Summary: Possible filename/-attribute handling problem with
                    Mankind
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.15.
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://appdb.winehq.com/appview.php?appId=2409
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-binary
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

When trying to connect to Mankind's servers, the game checks for updates. this
is unsuccessful and the error message
"Unexpected Error occured while patching Mankind. (A disk error occured or
C:\Program Files\Mankind have been modified by some other software. Please
reinstall Mankind"
is displayed. (Also see http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5388).
The application then causes a page fault on exit, see
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4489
Doing a "+file" trace, I found Mankind is looking for files that dont exist:
Mankind.ppf
Mankind.mip
and Mankind.npr (a file Mankind.1.231.238.npr does exist however, so I created a
link to it)
These files are not created during installation.
If I create these files (eg. "touch ..."), the error message changes to:
"Mankind was unable to start: files are missing or damaged. Please install
Mankind again".
The file Mankind.npr is found, but deleted when Mankind launches.

Steps to reproduce:
- install Mankind: (get it from www.mankind.net)
- launch it; doesnt matter wheter from the directory it was installed into, or
from anywhere else.
- click connect (requires a username and password from mankind.net).
