Using FBO as the ORM crashes with fglrx drivers

See the fglrx bug for more details, or check the HOWTO for this app for a workaround.

(more detailed info about the switches)
HW 1.0: open winecfg, go to "Drives", click on "Autodetect...", mount your CD and retry
HW 1.1: make sure that you use a nocd-patch
2.) No Story and Subtitles in Cutscenes (European Version)
HW 1.1: replace your language file under your Homeworld2/Data folder with one of these.
3.) Multiplayer/Gamespy Lobby says wrong CD-Key?
@all: try reinstall in a clean WINEPREFIX(maybe you have/had the demo installed?)
@all: or you have HW2 installed with a different WINEPREFIX(serial is stored in registry)
4.) Network not available?
@all: Gamespy lobby does not work
5.) HW2 crashes
@all: try the -nopbuffer switch
@all: do not enable oss in winecfg
6.) Widescreen Monitor and Hidden Buttons
@all: use the resolution commandline switch eg. Homeworld2.exe -w 1280 -h 960
7.) FSAA
@nvidia-users: you can set this over the ÂOpenGL Environment VariablesÂ
@all other: enable FSAA in your xorg-config
8.) When patching the game to 1.1 the patch program hangs when writing EULA.txt.
@all:You have to kill before it hangs(i.e. with the xkill command on a console, and then click on the window). The window with the problem is a installer that pops when patching, if you kill that window, the patcher works as spected
9.) Objects and units are not rendered properly
@all: try the -novbo switch
This issue was discovered in Linux Mint 16 Petra with Cinnamon (x64).
So, if you install HW2, then Patch with Official Patch v1.1, and then install Complex, you might be unable to run mod from shortcut form Desktop. To fix this, you have to use command like this:
env WINEPREFIX="<your_wine_prefix>" wine C:\\windows\\command\\start.exe /Unix /home/<your_login_name>/Desktop/Complex\ 9.1.lnk

However, I've had a persistent problem with HW2 - from the 1.1 patched version up to the present complex mod - in that I have no audio. All I get is some whiny buzzing on my internal speaker.
I've posted a bug here at Bug id=29816 (you'll have to search for it) with no replies.
Any advice how to get this working? Is anybody able to run 8.2.2 under wine with audio?
Thanks

Once I learned that, I had sound. This is the case even for the latest version (8.4.3 right now), so it might be a useful tip to keep in mind.
Cheers
