Additional Comments

- The Problem with the hardware mode is reported (http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9261) - The CDROM have to insert (there are no errors if the cdrom is missing) - After switching to the desktop, i cannot control the game (Fullscreen) - The border of the screen is broken (the border is flaring sometimes) - Sometimes the game crashs (randomly?) (wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x83fc5d9b at address 0x46f2ca (thread 001a), starting debugger...) - Sound: The dlls like dm*.dll and eax.dll have to add in the system32 folder. Note: the background music is missing

Official Version 1.2 patch can be found here.
