Additional Comments
In registry set "DirectDrawRenderer"="gdi", "OffscreenRenderingMode"="fbo", "PixelShaderMode"="enabled", "UseGLSL"="enable", "VertexShaderMode"="hardware". Played for a long time, gameplay is perfect, stable and smooth, but there are heavy graphical glitches: text colours are randomly distorted to the point of unreadability. After DirectX9 installation (winetricks) graphics gone perfect - everything is readable, shaders etc ok. I'd definitely rate the game platinum if not the need to use native DirectX. NVidia 8800 GTS 512, 177.80, Core Quad, 6G of memory.
