Its a regression and we're already working on it. The linked bug report provides a temporary fix (by downgrading manually to 1.7.12).

Please tell me how to do that I am running Linux mint 13?

I am a little too new for that procedure.

Thank you so much.

Yeah, how does one revert to a working version? New Ubuntu user here...are there step by step instructions? I actually don't have the desktop app installed on this machine. I just has installed some PPA, and then the Chrome user agent switcher, and it works on Ubutu 12.04 LTS that way. I did install the Netflix-Desktop app itself on a second machine, and both are getting this apparently known new bug/issue.

The following list contains the *.deb packages for the previous wine-compholio releases:

Just download the package which matches your system, then switch to the directory where you downloaded the file, and run:

sudo dpkg -i here_the_file_you_just_downloaded.deb

Afterwards it should work again

In the meantime there is already a fixed version. Please update your packages again and hopefully everything should work again as before. Sorry again for the inconvenience.
