Is it possible to override one of the built-in dll.so files with a third party one? For instance, Continuum needs kernel32.dll.so replaced with a patched version to function correctly (see http://wine.getcontinuum.com/) - I don't think the overrides in winecfg are what I'm looking for.

You can copy the kernel32.dll.so to C:\windows\system32\kernel32.dll ( no .so) and set the override to "native" in winecfg. I don't know if it works for kernel32 or ntdll, but it surely works for other dlls like d3d9.dll or d3d8.dll

Well, before I override this... I'm sure you've modified kernel32.dll.so from wine.

Is this patch really needed? If yes, is there any way I can get a copy of kernel32.dll.so with this patch, including your patches?

The patch in question:

Edit: I should mention that it appears to be working using their instructions (replacing kernel32.dll.so from ./lib/wine) but I have not yet tested using any other application since, nor have I tested the game prior to patching. I suppose I could do this, but I would rather spare pain if doing either will cause... issues.

You can download our modified sources from our website(producs->source I think). I hope we didn't forget to upload the cxgames sources...

I only see the source for 7.0.0, has the code for kernel32.dll.so changed since then?

Yes, it is very likely that it did change. I asked andrew to update the source archive. Otherwise, feel free to file a ticket for this or write a mail to sales@codeweavers.com. The LGPL license entitles you to receive the source of the LGPL parts in CrossOver.
