Does it really fix it, the function still remains unimplemented, crash or no crash... a bug will probably just be filed after it to say the function needs to be implemented if the app really uses it, so what is gained?

Same as with other stubs, it prevents a crash. Many applications check to see if a function works, and if not, crash. When given a stub, they run.

Given the nature of the function and the game, I'd say it's unlikely to be of much benefit, has it been tested?

No. There is no download available. It was in my 'likely abandoned' bugs list.
To be fair, many programs test functions for existence and don't depend on them...there are a ton of stubs in wine for that exact reason.
