Additional Comments
Lots of crashes aren't due to Wine but to the poor memory management of the game : a lot of VRAM is advisable due to this.

In order to get the game working you must enable DirectX 9 instead of DirectX 10:
The game should run flawlessly then...

The solution to this seems to be to reduce the graphics quality (it's a pity... the game looks grat in high detail mode). With a GeForce 640GT (1Gb VRAM) i could play without any crashes many hours by reducing the quality to "medium".
With an HD3000 IGP (480Mb VRAM) i never managed to play more than 1/2h without crashes in any quality preset.
Don't use the "App can handle > 2gb adressset" trick detailed on Ubi forums: it breaks the function with wine (Error : "heap.c: main process heap section" wait timed out in thread [...] )
Hardware : Core i7 2600K (3,4Ghz) - 8Gb DDR3 RAM - GT640 1Gb

Thought that was shortly after release (and I don't remember which version I played) - I haven't tested neither current version of wine nor Anno.
