Additional Comments

Game works in sound and video with fonts problems but game not pass profile screen with error WMA:347:failed to create the wma_source_filter Tested on: Wine 1.5.2, Wine Ver Default XP, CDEmu for drive installs (Daemon Tools on Linux), AMD A4 3300 2.5Ghz, ATI Radeon HD6410D 512MB Shared Memory, 4gb (2x2) DDR3 1333, ATI Catalyst 12.3 aka 8.96, Ubuntu Precise Pangolin 12.04 32bit Beta 2

The game works fine with a fixed executable from the Widescreen Gaming Forum.

It is available in this thread:
http://www.wsgf.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=24310

The provided executable there only works with the russian version. To get it running with any other version, do the following:

Run "winetricks wmp10" to get rid of the getkey.dll error
Copy the fixed FR2.exe from wsgf into your installation
Use a program like Hex Editor MX to open any .spc-file from the sounds folder
Look at the 13th, 14th and 15th byte of the .spc file. Copy them.
Open the fixed FR2.exe with Hex Editor and replace the string "71 F6 40" with the one you noted. 
Run the game
