I'm not sure if that description was outdated, but here's what I found:

I needed to set WINEDEBUG="-all" to get this game past the initial Activision bink movie. The installer, and updater (1.2) both worked fine after setting Windows Version to "Windows 98" in winecfg.

After loading, the main menu (pre-game) is very jerky (2 fps perhaps). Once in game, the fps is very smooth (smoother than this game runs under Windows XP actually - no stutter!).

The shadows and other transparent textures seem to be misaligned, and the sound is a bit poppy, but other than that, most things seem to work pretty well.

It might be worth checking out the 1.3 patch at some point. www.visi.com/~nathan/bz2/bz2_13.html

I installed the 1.3 patch and... wow! In wine 0.9.43 I don't need to set WINEDEBUG="-all", because the cinematic movies and pre-game menu work like a charm. The bad thing is that I get sound only in the movies. No sound in-game with wine configured to alsa. It is strange, because 1.3 patch offers a big upgrade in sound handling, switching it fully to DirectSound.
