It is possible to play in newest versions of Wine with old patch + user32 patch, but... At the begining, this is 2x patches to source code. After this, putting this dll's to WA directory and recompiling Wine without patches!
Zhenya, patching source code which is going to compile is quite equivalent to putting dlls that already works in the "patched way".
The best version toplay is 0.9.41-0.9.44 - you can change sound volume in the game. In 0.9.30 I can't do this. After 0.9.44 (I don't remember right version), I see some troubles. I can't press any button after clicking "Cancel" when WA is making connect to a game. With Wine newest that 0.9.52, with patches, I have MANY bugs! I can't write texts on IRC chat before game. I can't change scheme of the game. Game uses 70% of processor time... I see slow when activate Indian Nuclear test.
Firsty, try Wine-1.1.10, it was released some days ago.
If newer bugs are still present, you could help Wine project by writing up individual (atomic) bugs into a list and then doing regression test [10] for every such bug (separately).
Once you identify offending commit ID, search it up in the Bugzilla. If that's not a case, also try looking at the list of known Wine issues [11]. It may be someone already has filed appropriate bugreport. If it's not, file your own one about the issue.
Repeat this for every symptom of regression you've noticed. Thanks for looking into a bug :)
