Does not happens with wine-staging 3.12 and the effect is only noticeable after
using wine-staging 3.13 once.

Tested with both dx11 and dx9 versions of the game, same result.

Steps to reproduce:

Have game's config data backed up somewhere. Probably backup entire
"C:\users\My Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn\" folder.

Launch the game's launcher using Wine-staging 3.13, 
Launch the game itself (doesn't matter dx9 or dx11). 
Wait for game to enter title screen.
Click exit.
Notice how file "C:\users\My Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm
Reborn\FFXIV.cfg" now is 0 bytes.
Same happens to some character data files in FFXIV_CHRxxxxxxx if there are any
and you've played as some character with Wine-staging 3.13.

There are no errors or warnings in console when write occurs. You can prompt
writing FFXIV.cfg on title screen by going into configuration, adjusting some
setting and clicking "apply" - on Wine-staging 3.13 file will be emptied. On
Wine-staging 3.12 it will be written correctly.

Emptying FFXIV.cfg has a nasty side effect in the game that game will launch
with "default" configuration - low resolution, ask to calibrate your joystick
(even if you don't have one), doesn't remember which server ("data center")
you've used, and gets stuck at loading screen right before when character
select screen should be. It's possible to exit game normally there by pressing
Alt-F4 and confirming exit in dialog window that appears.
