Additional Comments
Digital distribution version, doesn't contain Starforce. Installed into a clean wine environment, worked out-of-the-box without any dll overrides. Stable and good performance even on the highest details, except the crash when entering a planetary battle. It's not clear if it is Wine's fault, there are reports about the crash when using Windows, too. I have no Windows installed so can't verify the issue. To eliminate the crash you need to disable most of the effects in Settings >> Planetary battles: all types of shadows and metal on ground/objects. Nvidia 7600 GT card with driver 195.36.24
