Additional Comments

In my experience with this game (using the Unity-shell in Ubuntu): you need to unmark the "Allow the windowsmanager to control the window" option in winecfg. (Got Swedish language so unsure on exact translation) But then the game lagged severely once a ingame-object got onscreen (background/the space was fine though), my guess would be that it could be some issue with D3D + wine handling VBOs? The sound lagged aswell, but after I overrided a few libraries in winecfg both the graphic and the sound rendered perfectly. I Installed DX9 aswell for a starter. But the other libs I used I need to get back to you about, will test some more to be sure on what is needed and not. - Rikard

If you experience weird mouse behaviour while changing angle in "3D world" view:

uncheck wine configuration option Graphics->"Allow the window manager to control the windows"

*or* check Graphics->"Emulate a virtual desktop".

These registry settings could help you (or not) if you have troubles:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\AppDefaults\Hgm.exe\X11 Driver]
"ClientSideAntiAliasWithRender"="Default"
"ClientSideWithRender"="Default"
"Managed"="N"
"DXGrab"="Y"
"UseXRandR"="Y"
"UseXVidMode"="Default"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\AppDefaults\Hgm.exe\Direct3D]
"AlwaysOffscreen"="enabled"
"OffscreenRenderingMode"="default"
"PixelShaderMode"="enabled"
"RenderTargetLockMode"="readtex"
"UseGLSL"="disabled"
"VideoMemorySize"="1024"
 
Comment:
Those settings work for mine setup. Without them with some objects on screen there was stuttering with rendering. Crucial settings are:
"UseXRandR"="Y"
for proper screen resolution change (for the the game and desktop afterwards) - it wasn't perfect before - and
"AlwaysOffscreen"="enabled"
for getting rid of the stuttering rendering.

Tested on:
Wine-1.5.7-252-g1f01355 build from git repository
OpenSUSE 12.1 x86_64
AMD/ATI Radeon HD 4850 with Fglrx 12.4
