    When someone opens bug in wine db, it gets unique id number. There are lot of bugs that has no activity for years and if someone tries the game and it works it becomes marked as fixed and will be added into new wine changelog as marked fixed even the work behind bugfix might be several versions earlier.

    If You want wine to go faster forward,

    report wine issues here
    http://bugs.winehq.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Wine

    But you should have up to date wine (no crossover or playonlinux version) and debug. "wine program-name.exe >> debug.log 2>&1" creates basic debug file.

    But it would be more important to test bugs with recent wines and report with debugs.

    Take this list for an example

    Even reporting games back wine database would help.

    Here is a link to search box your favorite games:

    You can have any wine version in playonlinux, even one you compile from source yourself (which I've had to do for a game once). When a new version is released, it's in the pol repo within a day.
