Additional Comments

• Install on a 32-bit prefix to avoid any issues when installing the .dll's for sound
• Messing with prefix settings in winetricks can break the game easily, which can lead to making a fresh wine prefix and reinstalling.
• Recommended to install in separate prefix.
• Visual artifacts may be exclusive to Intel graphics.
• Game may crash occasionally when choosing "Save and exit" on the pause menu in the campaign, but still saves data.
• If game doesn't open or give option to run, try installing dxd9 through winetricks
