            Bug ID: 48365
           Summary: On every update wine mess up everything; reset
                    folders, setting, forget every installed program.
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: wine-bugs at winehq.org
          Reporter: rencer at euromail.hu
      Distribution: ---

OS: Manjaro 18.1.4 64bit
Wine version: various

Every time there is an update or somthing, Wine "reboots" (or whatever it is
doing) it's prefix folder. Because of this, every single time ALL SETTINGS that
I changed in winecfg are reset to default and everything I installed are
"gone", Wine doesn't see anything after this. Like it is a freshly created wine
prefix without any change or anything installed in it.
The softwares that I installed before are stay there they won't deleted, just
wine doesn't see them, like they aren't installed.

Because of this every time I have to reinstall and reconfigure everything.

I'm using Lutris to configure and run games, and first I thought this bug is in
Lutris. I tried to find a solution for this unbearable behaviour, and I find
out this is not a bug in Lutris. Wine that doing this stange thing and not
Lutris.
With Lutris I can easily switch between different wine versions.
It doesn't metter if I have the latest or older wine version installed, or
using custom wine version, they all effected by this thing.
It doesn't metter that I installed the different wine versions to different
prefixes; when I run a game that uses that wine version, the given Wine prefix
is reset and I have to reinstall everything.
