Awesome, this works great (wine-vanilla-3.0.3)

I quickly tested by activating "Gothic I Classic Texture Mix" and "Gothic I 3D
+ Mesh Patch" in Spine and indeed the game starts with improved graphics.

Sidenote: Out of interest I also tried to activate "D3D11 Renderer Clockwork
Edition", which (as expected) did not work. I think the reason for this is more
complicated and CreateSymbolicLink is not to blame in the first place, however
I do see these messages:

016f:fixme:file:CreateSymbolicLinkW Directories are not supported

I don't know the internals of Spine, but if other patches/mods also rely on
linking directories, it could be that they do not work as well.
