This is a rewrite of the ntdll-User_Shared_Data staging patch series, with a simpler approach that still solves the issue. Although it is less correct in term of timestamp update than the original series, it should also have less impact and may be more acceptable. We already update the timestamps from time to time in ntoskrnl before accessing the memory, and this adds another update after each sleep.
I checked that it allows the games reported in [2] to start, and some others that also required the original patch series:
* Overwatch (with some additional staging patches) * World of Warcraft (with some additional staging patches) * Star Wars: The Old Republic * Batman: Arkham Knight * Just Cause 3
