Ok, i'll change the bug's title to reflect what happens now.

While i tried to investigate this i ran into this:
if enable quite a few debugchannels the program comes up just fine and i can
play the demo!
Steps to reproduce:
Using regedit add a new key Debug under HKEY_CURRENT_USER->Software->Wine
Under this key (HKEY_CURRENT_USER->Software->Wine->Debug) add a string value
RelayExclude and set it to: ntdll.*;kernel32.*;gdi32.*;user32.*;winex11.drv.*
Now do:
export WINEDEBUG=+relay
wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Pinball\ Wizards/Balls\ of\ Steel\ DEMO\
v1.3/bos.exe
This way i could actually start playing without the "refresh rate" error. Seems
as if you somehow you have to slow down the game a bit to avoid the error. 
Could you try if it works on your computer too and report back?
Anyone an idea how to proceed?
