What was not tested
I have not been able to actually test the gameplay of this game, as the game chose to not run and therefore Wine has very politely given me a Program Error for it and many of its features.

Make sure that your game is running on the correct resolution, otherwise problems may occur.
You can change the resolution pass some parameters to the shortcut of the game.If you have not made a shortcut to the game,create it with any text editor by following the rules bellow.
Supported parameters
-w Starts the game in windowed mode
-r Change the game resolution
How to use?
Open the shortcut file and insert the following:
#/ bin /bash
cd "path to the folder of your game"
(wine SC3.EXE -r1024x768)
The example above starts the game in fullscreen and with resolution 1024x768
Another example:
#/ bin /bash
cd "path to the folder of your game"
(wine SC3.EXE -w -r800x600)
The example above starts the game in window with resolution 800x600.
Supported Resolutions
640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024
