           Summary: Metro Exodus fails to launch since commit
                    fde5967f725624c5ee4995dcbe22f262979c5c9c
           Product: Wine
           Version: 5.18
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wineserver
          Assignee: wine-bugs at winehq.org

Since commit fde5967f725624c5ee4995dcbe22f262979c5c9c to wine, which modified
the inheritance behaviour of handles upon process creation, Metro Exodus is
unable to start up and instead hangs after displaying a brief message about
System Information (which also occurs in working releases, without the hang). 

This was tested using the Epic Games version of Metro Exodus, launched by
"legendary launch Snapdragon --wine=$PWD/wine64" (this was tested using git
bisect, and validated to work from Wine 5.12 until this commit, after which it
no longer launches.)

Reverting the commit using git revert enabled the game to launch again
successfully.

Instructions to reproduce:
1. Fetch latest Wine from Git
2. Start a bisect from wine-5.17 (or earlier) until HEAD
3. Test Metro Exodus using the above command
4. The final commit, determined as "first bad," should be
fde5967f725624c5ee4995dcbe22f262979c5c9c.

This bug also occurs when launching Metro Exodus directly (without Legendary),
under the same conditions.
