wine users - Aug 2008 - Distro Differences?

Hello,

Several of us have been using Wine to play Warhammer Online
(http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=13139&iTestingId=29914).
Until recently it worked fine with 1.1.2 on Ubuntu (Hardy).  Then the games
patcher was updated and it no longer runs instead it hangs without returning
when first run.  This problem seems specific to Ubuntu as it still works for
others.

I've tried this on two separate machines and had the same problem after the
patcher updated, another Ubuntu user has had the same problem.

I've tried Wine 1.1.2, 1.1.3 and various installs from GIT but all have the
same problem.

I've then tried the same install of the game under Gentoo and it works
(using 1.1.3 or 1.1.0).

Is there something specific to the Distro like default config or dependencies
that could be causing this problem?

Thanks,
Matt

Unfortunately,  don't have anything constructive to add. The original
patcher worked. This new one is crep. I tried to debug it and it runs into a
tarpit at NtDelayExecution:

Code:

if (select( 0, NULL, NULL, NULL, &tv ) != -1) break;
Wine-dbg>step
1174	            NtQuerySystemTime( &now );
NtQuerySystemTime () at /usr/src/debug/wine-1.1.4-fe/dlls/ntdll/time.c:449
449	{
Wine-dbg>
452	    gettimeofday( &now, 0 );
Wine-dbg>
1175	            diff = (when - now.QuadPart + 9) / 10;

Wine-dbg>
98	    SleepEx( timeout, FALSE );


And then it just stalls, like it's waiting for something important.
