What works
Near as I could tell, everything "worked".
What does not
Graphics problems all over the place. Looks like most textures didn't load. There was horrible flickering in places. Models didn't erase and left ghost trails.
Workarounds
What was not tested
Anything outside of the beginner zones.
Hardware tested

Additional Comments
I'm using an ATI Radeon 9250. Someone with a better card might have more luck. If it crashes first thing when starting up, select safe mode from the updater. Then once in game, open the options menu and click save. You should then be able to start the game normally.

"There seems to be an issue currently with the ingame resolution options. If you change them, then click apply, it will reset the resolution back to before you changed it and tell you to restart. When you restart, the resolution won't have changed. To get it to change you have to set it to the correct resolution, apply, set it again, and then quit the game with the options menu still open."
Information courtesy of Tremblay:
In the registry, in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\OpenGL, have the string value DisabledExtensions set to:
GL_ARB_vertex_buffer_object GL_NV_register_combiners GL_NV_register_combiners2 GL_NV_register_combiners3 GL_NV_texture_shader GL_NV_texture_shader2
(basically list each extensions with a space between each)
I can then set the in-game shader option higher than low with bumpmaps.
I think you *could* leave out GL_ARB_vertex_buffer_object, I put it there because it helps World of Warcraft.

Jeff has offered another work around:
Run 'CohUpdater.exe -usetexenvcombine' to run in a low graphics mode that allows use of the costume selector and mission architect. Beats adding / removing the registry keys, and it'll usually retain your old graphics settings. Just make sure you don't have any level of antialiasing enabled (2x, 4x, etc) otherwise there'll be graphical wackiness
