It would be nice to talk about the fake DLL problem. In case you're
not familiar, numerous popular applications (Chrome, Steam, StarCraft,
Overwatch...) manually load system DLLs into memory, do some
verification checks, and then attempt to jump into the DLL's code.
This causes a crash because Wine's DLLs are fakes that don't contain
the actual function code. Wine Staging has a solution to the problem
involving making the fake DLLs more realistic and then catching and
redirecting attempts to execute memory-mapped code. I'm curious to
know what it would take to get the Wine Staging solution or another
reasonable solution into mainline Wine.
