To be honest, I don't understand why the launcher has to be a web page at all. Why couldn't it be a proper application, so we wouldn't need to deal with this?
Yeah, it's a good question. Somehow launchers for a lot of mmos truly suck.

It would be interesting to see someone making the custom wine fix (substring trimming) to see that it would actually resolve the issue though, in case this issue is deeper than expected. Sadly I do not possess the technical competence to even considering patching wine.
