Additional Comments
performance is perfectly playable but lower than one might hope. Lowering or raising settings made little difference. I’ll try this out on a few systems to see if it’s hardware or software related, then update the results.

Games for Windows - LIVE does not work under Wine. GFWL components will crash any game that use the service. The only thing to do about it is to cut XLive out using XLiveLess Patch.
INSTRUCTIONS
1) Download the latest XLiveLess patch from here.
2) Unpack xlive.dll into the game folder.
XLive is out and the game launch is unobstructed. Please note that from now on the online play via GFWL is disabled so as to prevent cheating.
