Additional Comments

Game needs vcrun2008 and directx to run. I got error when starting up the game unless i add -w1680 -h1050 as arguments for the exe. Needs wine to be patched with a RawInput patch to enable mouse. The patched mouse is really bad, this might be related to MacOSX since the mouse handling is a bit different. Several games that need RawInput is not behaving as well in OSX as on linux for some reason.

Please purge your previously wine installation before using that HowTo!
