...and a new feature just discovered
setting Options/graphics/Water quality to high+caustics nade it look nice, but after stopping the game it would not start.

I had to edit the engine.ini by hand to reset the level to 2, then the game started again OK

I have a Intel Q6600 with a Nvidia 8800GT and Debian Lenny.
I installed Wine 1.1.26 to see if it was just the old version under which it doesn't work.

I tried all your comments on how to get the game to work but it doesn't.
When installing DirectX i got an error about mscoree.dll
(even though i copied mscoree.dll from an existing winxp installation and set it to native, also tried to register the dll with regserv) but it installs anyway and dxdiag shows an installed directx 9.0c (last version from march 2009). I don't think that this is why the game doesn't work.
(i set dbghelp.dll to native and copied the patch)

At first i got some sound error, pcm and such but i got rid of it by checking all possible sound devices in the wine config.

But now all i get when starting the game is:

fixme:ntoskrnl:KeInitializeTimerEx stub: 0x113fc8 0
fixme:system:SystemParametersInfoW Unimplemented action: 59 (SPI_SETSTICKYKEYS)
fixme:system:SystemParametersInfoW Unimplemented action: 51 (SPI_SETFILTERKEYS)

What i tried is:

Deactivating / Activating Vertex Shaders and/or Pixel Shaders.
Setting DirectDrawRenderer to opengl
Setting OffscreenrenderingMode to fbo

I tried having only an DLL Override for dbghelp.dll
and having DLL overrides for the following dlls (got that from a tutorial on how to install directx - www.wine-reviews.net/microsoft/directx-90c-march-2008-redistributable-on-linux-with-wine.html used that but installed the current version, 9.0c March 2009)

I don't have any ideas left. So if someone has anything i could try (even if not very promising)!

Thanks in advance :)!
