Despite being somewhat benign, because technically the rest of the content of the games work, these hooks make them quite unplayable because they are related to important parts of the games.
Tie Fighter (collector's edition): the game crashes when you try to look at the inflight menus : http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... ngId=19464
X-Wing Alliance: The game loses focus when you begin a campaign game : http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... ngId=25285
Empire At War : When I load the game, audio crashes pretty much as if your computer would freeze and the audio stutters until you reboot : http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... ngId=22573
Empire At War : Forces of Corruption: No text at startup, reported by me here: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... ngId=27394
Because some of these games are fairly old, there is probably only a few users else than me which uses them. I am aware that the Wine developers are probably very busy with other stuff, therefore I was wondering if I could have any help on how to create solutions for these issues. Is it possible for me, despite that I do not have any knowledge of coding, to fix these issues by myself?
Thanks!

You need to file bug reports in bugzilla http://bugs.winehq.org if you or someone else hasn't already.
Bug reports are easy to do,
Some things to keep in mind, search the existing bugs for the name of the app you are reporting a bug for or the symptoms you get. If you're unsure if something has already been reported, report it anyway and it might be marked duplicate of an existing report by one of the admins.
When filing a report, select the wine version you tested with. In the summary field, you might say something like: "Doom main menu is upsidedown" - so that anyone who just looks at the subject can get a reasonable idea of what it's about.
In the description field, describe the steps required to reproduce the problem, "cd to install directory, wine doom.exe and then the menu displays upsidedown"
attach any console output and provide a link to a demo if there's one that has the same issues.
If any more information is required beyond that then you will be asked to provide it.

The X-Wing alliance bug was already reported, and seems to affect many other games as well : http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8854
