DirectDraw Issues continue

[Alexander Nicolaysen Sørnes]

No one if forcing you to run the latest Wine version.  Wine is beta software, 
so there is not guarantee that the newest version is "best", although it 
usually is.  If you had bothered to take a look in the AppDB, you could have 
read that e.g. Settlers IV has a Gold rating (i.e. runs perfectly).

As for World of Warcraft, it does not even run with a vanilla Wine, but 
requires special patches.
