--- Comment #42 from Sebastian Lackner <sebastian at fds-team.de> ---
@JT: As the patch requires some significant changes in all parts of Wine, it is
unlikely that this fix will be already included in the next Wine version. If
you want to test it, you can use the Wine-Compholio staging tree builds:

https://github.com/compholio/wine-compholio
https://github.com/compholio/wine-compholio/wiki/Installation

Don't forget to run /opt/wine-compholio/bin/wine instead of "wine" after
installing, and set the environment variable before running Voobly.

export COMPHOLIO_WRITECOPY=1
cd /path/to/the/program
/opt/wine-compholio/bin/wine program.exe

What the next wine version most likely will include is the first set of
patches, to fix unrelated issues, which were discovered by adding this
patchset. Those issues are all completely unrelated, but are much more
difficult to reproduce without the patchset, and noone noticed them yet.

At all other people affected by this problem: Please do us a favor and test the
patchset (with COMPHOLIO_WRITECOPY=1) with all other Wine programs you have
installed - if you notice additional regressions introduced by this patchset,
please report them to us, so we can fix those unrelated issues, and hopefully
will be able to get the main patchset upstream soon.

Regards,
Sebastian
