Just a quick update that I have identified what appear to be the offending patches and alerted the contributor. This problem also appears to be affecting Warhammer Live. NS2 is also suffering from bug 21248 which can be worked around by disabling mmdevapi in winecfg. http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21248 Some of the bugs reported by those who did have this running will have been fixed by one of Henri's patches in the interim so once it is working again it will probably be faster or more stable.
