Did you follow Innova's instructions? They work awesome.

Not sure if you were addressing me or the last poster, but the debug log provided from me in my latest post herein was
from that very install by Innova.
For anyone who may be willing to assist me, has had this problem, or has enough experience with debugging wineskin issues, here's what's going on:
I've been playing P1999 quite often lately without issue. Indeed, the very day before the issue arose there were no problems of note. A day passed since I had played P99 last with no significant alterations to my computer, simply working throughout the day on my laptop per normal. I decided to log in for an evening in the Ocean of Tears killing Seafuries; yet, this time was different...
I ran the same P99 wineskin I had for a year (that is, a year without any such issues from it) and became stuck when trying to connect (i.e., (1) the server list screen connect button froze me, (2) the quick connect button from the same server list screen when attempting to connect froze me; and, (3) the quick connect from the username and password screen before you get to that server screen also froze me upon the same action).
So then I thought, maybe Project 1999's server is just down. I had reviewed a post regarding networking issues happening the day before for other people on the Technical Discussion forums. I assumed this may have been my issue but it was not. These people later were able to connect. Moreover, I later attempted to connect to
other servers than the Project 1999 servers and was met with the same problem. This is when I realized the issue was particularly mine.
In addition to the above, I then followed Innova's steps and the later-released version of Wineskin actually would crash when attempting to connect to the server. Something is up, yes? Please see two posts above this one to review my debug information that I received when attempting to use Innova's version of the install.
My laptop's system specs are:
10.9.1 Mavericks Mac, 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7, 8GB 1600 MHz DDR3, Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB MacbookPro, Mid 2012 Macbook Pro.
I am unsure how this problem "sprung up", but I have tried the following steps, started over, and tried them about ten different times each:
1) Refreshing Wrappers;
2) Updating Engines to the newest kind;
3) Going back to old Engines that previously worked;
4) Fresh installs repeating the steps listed by Innova, in addition to fresh installs using the steps that led me to prior successful installs (i.e., earlier guides in this forum);
5) Trying to force my Mac's XQuartz instead of the built in X11; and,
6) Trying different versions of Windows via Wine Tricks.
All steps seem to yield no fruit.
Again, in sum, my problem is: I now suddenly freeze when attempting to connect beyond the login screen, in whatever fashion I choose to try.
Can anyone help me resolve this? I would be very grateful and happy to donate to you some loot in the game if so.
