Most likely this (watchout for wrapped lines):

So, what? Is it a standard copy and paste in to the terminal idea? IF it's a command, do I need to undo it for certan things? Which file do I need to edit and add or replace code with this. Thanks for all help. You have been my only help so far, both ubuntu and fedora forums are still unresponsive

If that doesn't make sense to you, then you should wait until this is fixed upstream (in Wine itself).

So all I have to do is save that file as .diff and follow the instructions. How long do you think before it is patched upstream?

Pretty much, or do that one line change manually.

No idea, that patch rather looks like a hack. And hacks are not accepted into Wine.

For the wine source folder, it just oges in, not in any of the sub-directories
~/wine-git/

Here's a vote for getting this fixed upstream. Bug still exists in 1.2-rc6 and have been dealing with it since I started using Ubuntu around 3 years ago. BF1942 is my favorite game of all time, so having it working perfectly is high on my wish list for Wine.
