Warcraft stopped working (can login!) after latest update on Nov 30,2023

I’ve started my own thread not to derail the discussion about wine 8.25. I have a very old system, the great AMD Phenom II X4 955, AMD Polaris card, Debian buster and Lutris 0.5.4 and I would prefer not to update my system now because Christmas is coming - and Santa will hopefully bring something newer :-).
Everything worked well until Nov 30 with fshack 7.2 and strangely dxvk set to 2.3 (which is really impossible … but still). I changed dxvk to 1.10.3 and the ICD loader from auto to the offered radeon option (reversed that after negative results because I’m using amdgpu and blacklisted radeon). There is no file for amdgpu, so what will it pick for “auto”?

I tried all GE and also some older tkg wine versions and can login with the workaround and the new battle.net version only with GE versions 7.39 to 7.43. Everything else crashes. All 4 GE versions hang in an update loop though which I cannot get out of. (I’m thinking that in reality nothing gets updated.)

When I try to start any wow game, from battle.net or directly, I get the dreaded “3d accelerator card not supported” error. I have seen the TMU one too.
The last error message might be connected:

So I’m thinking: either my vulkan/dxvk setup crashed suddenly (how? why?) or that’s a red herring and in reality battle.net never correctly reaches Blizz servers to update.

Running lutris -d returns the old winusb and kerberos errors and one ole I cannot interpret, but I was looking more for network errors

Any ideas?
