What does not
Everything else.
Workarounds
What was not tested
The actual game.

Additional Comments
After launching the game, the Magicka process bangs on the CPUs (desktop mostly frozen). After a while, the screen eventually turns grey and the ingame cursor becomes visible, but nothing else happens while the .exe keeps banging on the processors.

Some components must be installed with winetricks in order to be able to launch Magicka.To proceed, run :
winetricks dotnet35
winetricks xna31
winetricks directx9
winetricks xinput
Sometimes, winetricks vcrun2008 is also needed.
In order to install the required components for Magicka, you will have to create a 32 bits wineprefix and install everything there (Magicka included).
To create your 32 bits prefix : WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/path/to/wineprefix winecfg
To start winetricks in that prefix : WINEPREFIX=/path/to/wineprefix winetricks
To run Magicka from this prefix : WINEPREFIX=/path/to/wineprefix wine /path/to/Magicka/Magicka.exe
Some problems can sometimes be solved by going in winecfg, in the graphic tab and activating these two options :
- Emulate a Virtual Desktop
- Automatically capture the mouse
If your game crash with error related to "system memory" or "out of memory" (bug 29324), you can try this workaround :
- in the graphic menu in the game, set all details to "low" and effects to "off" (you don't need to change the game resolution)
- with winetricks or regedit, set your graphic card memory amount, disable GLSL and multisampling
Error message: File not found: LanguageFont.xnb (triggered when using the settings menu)
Solution: Create a symlink to debug.xnb in the same folder
