What works
Game installation went fine GraphicsConfig works nice too Game launches, sound works great with OSS(v4.0), performance is nice, game settings, all missions are working. Everything is working I guess
What does not
I was using 3d mark patch for wine. As a result structures and units was invisible. After recompiling wine without any patches everything seems to work fine

After you installed the game you may get a performance boost if you use the latest version of DirectX 9.
The easiest way to do so, is using winetricks:
winetricks directx9

If you have problems with completely corrupted textures the problem might be that your systems lacks a library that is used for texture compression in Dawn of War.
Under Debian based system install the package "libtxc-dxtn-s2tc0" and try again.
