Multi core processor issue

Silent Hill 2 is not compatible with multi-core technology and because of this, it may causes random crashes. This also happens on Windows Machines. So, to make the story short;
Open up your terminal and go to your SH2 game dir and type:

Does not run correctly on 1.1.8

I've tried a clean install of the game with and with out directx installing with it. It runs slow and the fonts are broken. I don't think this should be classed as platinum when on a clean .wine install it doesn't work. I've tried the same install on three different machines and get the same results.
I'm guessing that some other things must be installed first for this program to run right. If anyone has any suggestions on how I can get this running I'd love to hear them.
