I installed Giants: Citizen Kabuto and the 1.4 patch it works like a charm.
However, when trying to host multiplayer games gives an error screen. That is white background and text (that is below) in 3 blue boxes.

DirectPlay Failed to Initialize (Code 80040111). Is DirectX Version 8 or better installed?
Enter to Continue Escape to Exit Game --8<--
Both keys do not seem to work. I have to kill the program.
I have not used native DLLs or changed any other setting in Wine after installation of wine.
