Additional Comments

Had to install by using windows and copying directory to wine folder. Installed game using World of tanks winetricks dependencies (d3dx9_36 vcrun2008 corefonts msxml3 wininet ie7 vcrun2010) Currently using custom user.cfg for ultra low settings. Link: http://mwomercs.com/forums/topic/65683-looking-for-an-old-post-about-low-end-usercfg-tweaking-for-low-end-computers/ In windows I could play this game with max settings with 60fps. In Ubuntu i play with custom, absolute bare minimum settings with maybe 25-35fps. Setting graphics up even one notch in the settings will impact performance in a very bad way and will lead to Cryengine crashes.
