wine users - Dec 2010 - How to fix Baldur's Gate 2 in CIDER so it doesn't crash?

Hey! Hello, WineHQ. Signed up because I've hit the limits of my ability with
CIDER.

I'm using the CIDER version of Baldur's Gate 2 on my Macbook 10.5.8 and
I've gotten the game to run fine in Single Player. Unfortunately, I'm
unable to run it in multiplayer mode which is a favorite of mine.

Normally one can run a multiplayer TCP/IP game in BG2 so they can import/export
self-made characters. In the CIDER version, trying to load or start a TCP/IP
game causes the game to CTD with the message

"Unhandled page fault on read access 0x00000000 at address 0x009adf04.

Do you wish to debug it?"

Something that sounds like untranslated Basque to my ears. In some forum
comments on the issue I found no solutions, but one man who did find this
information:

 "To get multiplayer working for games that use a DirectPlay version prior
to 8, place the following DLLs:
dplayx.dll, dpnet.dll, dpnhpast.dll and dpwsockx.dll in this archive in
WINE's windows/system32 directory, then add DLL overrides (native,builtin)
with WINECFG."

So I found the .dll files and wend and altered the preferences/config file to
include,

"dbghelp" = "native, builtin"
"dplayx" = "native, builtin"
"dpnet" = "native, builtin"
"dpnhpast" = "native, builtin"
"dpwsockx" = "native, builtin"

Multiplayer still crashes the game. Since I've hit the wall of my knowledge
about how to alter CIDER or WINE and especially how to do so on an OS X machine,
I'm looking for ANY information about how I can configure the game to
function the way I'd like it to.

Many thanks.

if you want to install BG2 and get help with normal Wine... this is the right
place...

anything else, and your in the wrong place... especially for Cider which is NOT
Wine... its based off of a fork off of Wine from many years ago, but its still
not Wine... its not even available for anyone to use unless you hack some other
game that was using it.  There was never an official Cider version of BG2, its
just a hacked version.

That said... BG2 does run fine under Wine, but I've never tried multiplayer.
