(cd ~/".wine/drive_c/Program Files/Steam/steamapps/common/evil genius" && wine ./EvilGeniusLauncher.exe)
Below are instructions from the previous maintainer:
Install native quartz.dll and msvcrt.dll. You can get these online.
Once downloaded place these under: /home/$USER/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32
Perhaps you don't need to do the following step but I did it anyway which is to rename the existing quartz.dll and msvcrt.dll in the same directory for backup and just to be sure that wine picks up the native copies.
With the files placed in the system32 directory run wine configuration usually accessible from the ubuntu applications menu. You can always type winecfg at the terminal to run it.
Next step is to tell wine to use native dls. Go to the libraries tab and from the drop down menu select quartz and cick add. Do the same for msvcrt. Once these are added you need to select each file in the list (i-e: quartz and msvcrt) and click Edit from the options given select "Native (Windows)" for both of them.
wineboot --kill; wineboot --shutdown
winecfg
In Ubuntu this can be done graphically via Applications ← Wine ← Configure Wine
/home/$USER/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Steam/steamapps/common/evil genius/DynamicResources/Config/Concept.cfg
[GameCamera]
section change the value to MaxHeight=120.0
[Dialog3DCamera]
section change the value to MaxHeight=120.0
(wineboot --kill; cd ~/".wine/drive_c/Program Files/Steam/steamapps/common/evil genius" && wine ./EvilGeniusLauncher.exe; echo RC $?)
If within the game the moving around while zoomed out this far is slow or choppy, then your video card isn't fast enough to handle this. If this happens, change the 120.0
to number low enough for your video card to handle. You won't zoom out as far, but the movement will get smoother.
[Transitions]
section change the values to MainGameFadeInTime=0.333
LoadingScreenWipeTime=0.333
CopyrightScreenDuration=0.1
/home/$USER/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Steam/steamapps/common/evil genius/ReleaseExe/
where $USER is your login user name.Note: Trying to switch the game to windowed mode via Alt+Enter will cause the game crash in full screen mode. If you do this, you'll have to:
wineboot --kill
Alt+F7
