Additional Comments
There is a slight (but noticeable) performance reduction in Linux. Most noticeable around water (the sewers, the beach, etc), and when its raining. Still very playable though on my rather sluggish laptop.

While the unofficial patch 9.4 works perfectly well on Linux, the launcher that is created by the setup is broken.
Find the "VTM Bloodlines Unofficial Patch.desktop" file on your desktop, open it up with a text file and change the line:
-game\ Unofficial_Patch
to
-game Unofficial_Patch
You can also apply the latter one in the Steam startup options to track your playing time with the unofficial patch.
To force antialiasing in the game, run this in a terminal:
__GL_FSAA_MODE=4
export __GL_FSAA_MODE
wine /path/to/your/Vampire.exe -game Unofficial_Patch
