Hi Eric, thanks for your reply.

I'm looking forward to try your patches, this is one alternative that I haven't
tried yet (did tried the rpm package with the network patch though).

I downloaded all your 10 patches, got wine 1.1.33, but when I start applying
the patches I get the messages:

patch unexpectedly ends in middle of line
patch: **** Only garbage was found in the patch input.

That means it's not patching for some reason?
What I'm doing is "patch -p1 < patch_file.patch" in the wine folder

Also, should I get the network(bind) patch as well or one of yours take care of
it ? Just to confirm..

Looking forward for your reply! I've waited enough to play this game online.
