Additional Comments
In order for the game to launch, you'll need MS Visual C++ 2005 sp1 libraries installed. The easiest way to accomplish this is with the winetricks script. However, the monsters and towers are invisible during gameplay, making the game virtually unplayable without relying on the Tactical display mode.

Crashes after selecting level

Using Wine 1.3.7 with Ubuntu 10.10 64bit. I also installed vcrun2008sp1 dx3d9. Still failed so I installed directx9. This didn't help any.
If I run "env WINEPREFIX="/home/buttink/.wine" wine C:\\Games\\Steam\\Steam.exe" via the command line. I get this as my final output when I play.
fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x33f6dc,0x00000000), stub!

err:mmtime:TIME_MMTimeStop Timer still active?!
I have no idea if this is an error from steam or the game but I hope it helps.
One last thing. When I load the game, sometimes there isn't text for the stage names and sometimes there is.
Did you read the application-wide note to lower the quality?

There's a known issue preventing the game from loading in high-quality mode. Open the config.ini file in the program directory, and change Quality to 0 or 1.
