Game does require some tricks to get working correct, easiest way is to install under windows (real or virtual) and simply copy it over to Linux. Wine requiers wintricks vcrun2005 and vcrun2005sp1 since last expansion of the game.
All described at http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=14566
The best way to test it is like this:
login, make a human char, select captain, give him a name, enter game, double click the 1st npc (amdir), select Skip now, select a reward and press finish. Then you end up in Archet, that area shows it all best.
other starting area's are more bright (less fog ?) and you see it happen less there.
