--- Comment #6 from Antonio Russo antonio.e.russo@gmail.com --- I moved over to wine-staging 3.5 (from http://repos.wine-staging.com/alesliehughes/debian), and was able to remove the DLL overrides (I enabled nothing in the staging tab). The game appears to work fine.
Unfortunately, I'm not going to have time to do a bisect the commit that fixes the problem (last time I tried there were too many conflicts in the Debian 32/64bit build dependencies) in the near future.
