RE: Wine version info

I had the same issue with the update. It indicated that it couldn't download the index file and I had to check all the packages (which I do as part of testing anyway). After that it worked fine.
However, the game is working perfectly for me in fullscreen mode. I can coolswitch in and out normally. I don't even get the complaint about resolution when starting.

Something I forgot to mention previously, which may be important. The very first time that CoHUpdater tried to apply the I-11 patch, I cancelled out of the patch (because I decided I didn't want to wait ten minutes for it to patch right then, and would rather play another game, I think, or something like that). On windows, you can cancel the patch, and then restart it later.
Well, more technically, if you cancel the patch, you probably end up with a corrupt installation which the updater automatically repairs. But, effectively, it just applies the patch when you launch it again. I think what is happening is that for some reason, the 'repair' process is failing when it tries to fix the files.
I might just delete everything but CohUpdater.exe, and let the updater do a fresh installation of I-11.
Btw, I am also using Ubuntu Gutsy (I think that's 7.10 but I don't remember). The only other thing which might be 'non-standard' about my installation of wine is that I moved the drive_c directory to /usr/local/wine_drives/drive_c (I updated the wine config, using the wine configuration utility, to point to the new location, and I did a chown jeff.jeff /usr/local/wine_drives/drive_c so that my unprivileged user account would own the directory.
The reason I did that is that my home directories are stored in a separate, smaller (I think the total size is like 5 or 10 Gig for /home), encrypted partition. I don't need my Windows games encrypted (and the encryption likely introduces some performance penalties, albeit likely small on my computer, since I have a second cpu core that encryption can be offloaded to), and I have a lot more space on the / partition (I think 20 or 30G, don't remember at the moment exactly).
Somewhere I can put core file?

Btw,
Would it be useful to you guys to get the core dump file mentioned in the error messages? Where would that have been generated? Where can I upload it to for you guys to find it?
