What Wine version? http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-a37de3282d447376d2220d20a278ae52258551a4
I don't know. Only that it was the only version available in Synaptic Package Manager. But I do know it is a version that can run .exe files without the command prompt because I have been able to open other .exe
Actually, I think the problem running Creatures 3 is related to a specific game requirement.
You can't just double-click engine.exe and get it to work, even in windows. In windows it requires that the shortcut to specify an autokill switch but shortcuts in Ubuntu seem to work differently. This is the error message I now get:
NLE0007: You must specify a game name in the command line. For example, Creatures 3 or Creatures Adventures
For soak tests, specify --autokill before the game name to kill agents which generate run time errors.
