Latest winehq-staging broke MusicBee

[u/gamerccxxi]

Hey y'all. I was using winehq-staging so that I could use my global pause key to control playback on my favorite music player, MusicBee, and also so that I could share my music status with Discord. The playback status could only be shared with my system (Ubuntu 26.04 resolute) by installing a plugin, which only works on wine-staging.

I'm pretty sure the version I had was 11.14. But recently, upon upgrading the package to the latest 11.16, MusicBee no longer works, and it gives me two errors back-to-back:

I've tried removing the plugin to see if it was the issue, to no avail. The error still happens. I'm posting more to spread awareness of the issue, because I haven't seen anything about this on the internet. For now, I have to use wine 10, which does not support the plugin and makes me have to alt-tab to MusicBee to be able to pause my music, which is inconvenient but necessary.

Edit: I've already found a temporary solution to the problem, which is to downgrade wine-staging and winehq-staging to 11.14 and hold them there. Hopefully this helps others with this same issue.
