Greetings all,
Having an issue where wine refuses to display an application until all network connections are disconnected. If a program is launched (say “wine notepad”), the program will hang in limbo until the network is disconnected. Once the network is disconnected, notepad will appear.
An application will continue to run if reconnected to a network, but if it launches child processes, like an installer needing to run regserv or something like that, again the program will hang until the network disconnects.
This became an issue for me because I run Overwatch through Lutris and need both Wine and an internet connection to run the game. Wine was working 2 days ago, then yesterday I did a “zypper dup” and something obviously went wrong. I had an Ext4 partition so I could not use snapper.
I have since reinstalled my distro, snappy enabled, but again the updates seem to have crippled wine to run in an “off network”, not even “offline” state.
I would not know were to begin to debug this, but the following is the output of “wine notepad” while connected to a network.

Disconnecting from the network and running “wine notepad” yields no output and notepad launches normally.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
