What works

In the tests I made I didn't find anything that didn't work, with Wine 2.0.1 freshly installed. Solo mode, multiplayer mode, all ok.

With Wine 1.6.1 that came through the Linux Mint Software Manager, I had a blocking problem, the game didn't find access to internet (which is required for VSk5 running). After reinstalling Wine according to explanations found in this tutorial, it is OK:

Additional Comments

I would rate "Silver" and not "Gold" because the frame rate of the game is clearly lower with my Linux/Wine, compared with the frame rate I have under Windows XP, on the same machine. Could be a problem of graphics drivers ? (open source). The PC I presently use for these tests is a Dell Optiplex 755 (Intel Pentium E2160 @ 1.80GHz, Nvidia GeForce GT 730) - very old indeed, but still works well...

I took a few screenshots with the frame rate displayed. Tests made in "solo" mode, but with 8 AI boats.

37 fps in Windows XP : image ScreenShotWinXP-37fps.jpg

17 fps in Linux : image ScreenShot04Linux-17fps.jpg

This remains OK for playing this game, and of course a more powerful PC would help...

3. Download the files d3dx9_30.dll ( http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?d3dx9_30 ) and d3dx9_36.dll ( http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?d3dx9_36 ) extract and save the files to ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/

In the configuration go to advanced and set grafics to NO anti aliasing, NO shadows, and shader quality to PC0. Once you can succesfully start the game you can experiment where your grafical limitations are.
