OK.... I managed to do this myself... I have libxcb installed and at least for 1/2 hour the game has not hanged itself :).
I would wait a bit while I do a bit more testing before declaring this a duplicate of bug 31406. However, it is indeed beginning to look like that is the problem.
I will report back in a couple of days to let everyone know how its going.
Ok, maybe it fixed it for you, but not for me. I'm running lubuntu with wine 1.5.15, and for the libxcb1.9 build ran the command: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./libxcb/libxcb/src/.libs wine Launcher.exe Maybe I have a different issue...? I can sometimes get into the game but it freezes after a few seconds. Looks like it will freeze randomly regardless of whether I'm in game or in the loading screen, so maybe I have a different issue.
Gotta ask a few dumb questions.
Are you running 64 bit or 32 bit version of Ubuntu? Did you compile wine or libxcb yourself? Did you recreate your debs to install them?
I am unfamiliar with Ubuntu so I can't help you much beyond helping you to confirm that you do indeed have the correct stuff installed.
