Additional Comments

Installed steam, disabled dwrite in winecfg. Installed BL2 from steam, launched it once so steam would install some of the dependencies. Then did winetricks d3dx9 d3dx10 vcrun2010 physx d3dx11_43 d3dx9_43 dotnet40 vcrun2008 xact (as mentioned in the page for BL2 1.0). Running with all graphics settings on max with a GTX 680. Haven't checked framerates yet, there's no lag.

The borderlands lancher is not working with wine. But to run the game, it is this application that steam starts first. To work around the problem, do the following:

Create a file named steam_appid.txt with the contents "49520" (without quotes).

Put this files into the Steam/steamapps/common/Borderlands 2/Binaries/Win32 folder

 Then, every time you runs the game, first runs steam, and only when steam is running, start the game by running Borderlands2.exe (in the Steam/steamapps/common/Borderlands 2/Binaries/Win32 folder)
