What works
Pretty much everything. It works to install the game, run it, change settings etc.
What does not
Some of the characters in the game are just white all over (for example elf archers etc). It's not a big issue though.
Sometimes keyboard doesn't work (I don't know what that depends on) but it's usually enough to log out and in again and start the game again and then it works. (I have dinput and dinput8 set to builtin).
Workarounds
What was not tested
War of the ring
Hardware tested
Graphics:
Additional Comments
I run the game with medium settings for graphics and it performs very well. The things I mentioned in the "what doesn't work" part are so minor and might just as well depend on the specifity of my system that I could actually rate the game as Platinum.

Installing Wine with Cursor Support
To get proper cursors in the game, you need to patch Wine, which can be done as follows.
mkdir cursor_patches_20070428
tar -xvjf cursor_patches_20070428.tar.bz2 -C cursor_patches_20070428
tar -xvjf wine-0.9.48.tar.bz2
cd wine-0.9.48
for i in `ls ../cursor_patches_20070428`; do patch -p1 < ../cursor_patches_20070428/$i; done
tools/make_requests
./configure --prefix=$HOME/wine-0.9.48-bfme2
make depend && make
make install
cd ..
rm -rf wine-0.9.48 wine-0.9.48.tar.bz2 cursor_patches_20070428 cursor_patches_20070428.tar.bz2

I am currently unable to play any windows games, although I was able to before I installed 1.1.8. Please advise.

I've tested Wine 1.1.29 with clean install of BFME II.
No need to compile wine.
Shuffled a bit with shaders/shadows in game gfx settings, game is playable with little gfx artifacts on my nVidia card.
I've got to say that I've used Wine virtual desktop (see winecfg/Graphics tab) to run the game.
Regards
Hark

I have � little questions
is someone try the multiplayer mode(lan) ?because from me it doesen't work at all i've tryed to create and join � party but i don't seeing any party and nobody can see me !!

I experience quite the same. I entered the multiplayer(network) mode. My friend (using windows) opened it, too.
I was able to see him in the playerlist and as far as I remember I could even read what he wrote. Funny thing was, that my nickname appeared twice in the player list for me but on the windows machine everything looked normal. The windows player did not see me in the player list but he was able to read what I wrote but he did not see the games I created. When he opened a game I saw it in the list as well but I could not join it. The Error was a bfme2 typical "connection timeout".
After several minutes my friend was able to see me in the lobby as well. I opened a game and he saw it in the list but could not join it due to a "Version missmatch".
I have no clue what's going on there.

I think I found the source of this problem now. When I looked up the game Settings it told me that my online IP is "127.12.34.56". I entered this IP to google and found this page: www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-bugs/2008-September/135681.html
This discussion lead me to this site: wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-0344b4325219c69636aeffeaa3596d6855283afd
So my /etc/hosts seemed to be incorrect. Now I edited it but since my friend can't be here for a longer time now to test LAN I cannot test if it works. I decided to use the hamachi linux version to join a VPN and test it with others. I edited the /etc/hosts so that hostname -i returns my Hamachi IP. Now the BFME options menu returns it as well! But if I enter the network mode nothing is displayed and I guess the other users don't see me as well. Pinging the other hamachi ips works.

To avoid white characters in the game set the parameter "UseGLSL" in the wine registry to value "disabled". So the game runs not so fast as with parameter set to "enabled" but you can play the game.

I'm very new to Linux so excuse my silly question ;-)

as i wrote before the cursor problem does not exist until 0.9.57 so please use wine version 0.9.56. you find older versions from wine under wine.budgetdedicated.com/archive/index.html
