If you have anything to add to this game test, please feel free to comment. Do post your Wine Version, Linux Flavour and graphics card drivers = NVIDIA or ATI! Help each other out and be nice to one another :)

The intro movie doesn’t play so one may get a black screen until the main menu loads up. After that everything appears to run fine.
Running Debian Squeeze, Wine 1.4 (from the Ubuntu repository, as the Debian Wine version is more or less ancient), ATI 3650 graphics with fglrx driver (3D acceleration enabled).
Have installed the game as per the instructions above, which went fine (winetricks automatically disabled gameoverlayrender, and installed corefonts), but when playing the game there are portions of the graphics missing, most noticably the left hand part of the menu line, as well as status and START GAME fields during play set-up.
Initially the whole menu line was missing, but setting the sizes of nofile in /etc/security/limits.conf to larger values (which controls the maximum number of open files available) brought in the right hand part (MENU, HELP etc), as per a suggestion I found on the ‘net. There are probably other elements not quite right either, thought I’d try to get this right to start with.
Tried installing the Tahoma fontas per another suggestion (after the game was installed) but that didn’t help.
I’m rather stumped at this point, and I haven’t seen anyone else who seems to have this particular problem. Steam seems to run fine, with all fonts visible, etc.
