What works
The client itself. You can join room, find users, write comment, discuss...
What does not
It seems to be impossible to launch or join a game. Either it crashes, or the game is automatically aborted. Tested on Star Wars Battlefront 1.1, Star Wars Empire at War 1.4, Star Wars EAW Force of Corruption (with the RAM and MP_Lobby fixes) and Rainbow Six 3 Raven Shield 1.6.

Open wineconfig and go to the tab "Libraries". Type "dnsapi.dll" in the "New override for library:" box and click the Add button. When added to the list, select "dnsapi (native, builtin)" and click the Edit button. Select "Native (Windows)" and click Ok.
This should fix the problem.
