Voobly on Wine in Linux

For some reason, one of my voobly installations in Wine on Linux (devuan specifically) runs like a dog. While the system is indeed really old, Voobly was running smoother on it before the OS reinstall. After an strace, I learned it kept looking for a tzres.dll in C:\Program Files\Voobly\, and there wasn't one. So I copied it in from the system32 directory and re-ran Voobly. It seems to operate a little better now, although it's still not exactly a smooth experience.

cp -p ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/tzres.dll ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Voobly/
