Additional Comments
I'm using a non-patched version on wine 1.1.35. The performance is mostly pretty good (not sure how much but my guess is about 20-30 FPS) but in certain places the FPS drops a lot (in Dark Carnival at the hillside for example). Sometimes the game seems to spam a lot of messages (shown in captions) that don't make any sense and resulting in a crash shortly afterward (not sure if this is a bug in the game itself or is it because of wine) I got the MOTD to work after using a dll override to urlmon.dll (set as native) Rated silver because the game works quite well but isn't working well enough for gold. My system specs: CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ (dual core) GPU: nVidia GeForce 8500GT 512mb RAM: 2gb DDR2-800MHz Motherboard: Asus M2N
