Additional Comments

After 2 mitnutes to 2 hours of gameplay the game crashes with this output: wine: Unhandled page fault on write access to 0x78940000 at address 0x970166 (thread 0009), starting debugger... - set d3dx9_36.dll to native and copy the dll to {$WINEPREFIX}/drive_c/windows/system32 - set (string) HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Wine/DirectSound/MaxShadowSize to "0" - set (string) OffscreenRenderingMode to "fbo" (for me the game crashes with "pbuffer") - to enable ingame music (not sound effects), install directx9 with winetricks

HowTo / Notes

HOWTO
  1. Install the game:
    • Cancel DirectX Installer
    • Install MSVC Redistributable
  2. Install MS DirectX 9 ("directx9") with winetricks
  3. Install MS .NET Framework 2.0 ("dotnet20") with winetricks
  4. Set (string) HKCU/Software/Wine/Direct3D/Vid­eoMemorySize to the size of your video card's memory (e.g. "512") via "wine regedit"
  5. Set (string) HKCU/Software/Wine/DirectSound/MaxShadowSize to "0" via "wine regedit"
  6. Make sure the Windows version is set to Windows XP via "winecfg" (seems to work best)
  7. Play the game
Note
Some users are reporting you may have to set some more Registry Keys in order to experience better results (e.g. borders drawn incorrectly). You may try these:

in HKCU/Software/Wine/Direct3D/
  • DirectDrawRenderer to "opengl"
  • OffscreenRenderingMode to "backbuffer"
  • OffscreenRenderingMode to "pbuffer"
  • OffscreenRenderingMode to "fbo"
  • PixelShaderMode to "enabled"
  • VideoMemorySize to the size of your video memory (e.g. "512")
in HKCU/Software/Wine/DirectSound/
  • MaxShadowSize to "0"
WARNING
The game needs hardware supporting Pix­el Shader 2 to run­!
