Since 1.1.22, a previously installed GW setup tries to repair the data on every
start (as the title says). It has nothing to do with installation, which has
been addressed, since it has been tested against a fresh "-image" (aka
"download all contents before launch") install: it still tries to repair on
every start.

Created an attachment (id=22478)
 --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=22478)
Reverts the problematic git commit.

The solution, as indicated elsewhere in this bug report is to revert the
problematic commit.  The attached patch does so.

This issue continues to permeate in the offical 1.1.26 repositories for Debian.
Is there a reason for the problematic git change?

See the comments in this bug, it's the bug in GuildWars. The bug is still
open because apparently Windows memory layout permits this buggy app to
survive.

I just submitted a ticket to their support system:

Hi,
I'm sorry to announce you that your game doesn't work in Linux under Wine
(http://www.winehq.org). But it used to. But since Wine developers made some
changes in recent versions, one bug in your code appeared.

Bug report in Wine's bugzilla is here:
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18675 I recommend to notice comment #14
by Alexander Juliard (one of leading Wine developer) who explains what's wrong
in your code.

I hope you will fix it soon, so we, Linux gamers, can play your game again.

@ Jan Kalab:
Is the GW ticket system open/viewable so that we can see if there are
questions, comments or progress?

Unfortunately not. But I'll post updates when something important happens.
Current status is:

We are going to escalate your request to a senior customer support
representative. We will get back to you as soon as possible to provide a
solution for the issue you reported.
