metatrader4 no longer works after updates

I use metatrader 4 with wine, and after updates a day or so ago, it won't let me login.  It makes some kind of networking function calling to remote servers asking for my profile data or scanned server data.  (I presume it's something along those lines)  Then the program crashes.  The program operates fine so long as I don't login or scan remote servers.

I have tried, rm -rf .wine/ and reinstalling the program but doesn't cure the problem.

So, I know this isn't a metatrader 4 forum, and their help is geared towards windows users, and they'll just blame linux for the issue.  Which actually may be partially true.

So, I'm wondering if anyone knows what networking application/library/whatever was updated in the last few days that might cause such functionality to be gone?

Ok, I reverted to wine 8.0.2 from 8.15 and it works.

If you install the package check-link-consistency and run check-link-consistency -N, first on a working wine, then on the non-working wine, the difference between the two results could help identify if there was a dependency version problem - it usually throws up numerous missing solibs for wine anyway on my installations, hence the need to compare.
