The bug is critical to the specific program, not to the wine code itself.
Understandable, but the rating should be in terms of wine bugs, not the application. Otherwise, almost every bug would be critical :-).
I ran wine both as user, sudo user, and root, and received the same error. I used root to log the errors as this is default protocol in logging bugs.
It's poor practice to give wine root access. Virii, etc. could corrupt/damage stuff, and a crash from an app could crash the whole system.
As for my video card, it runs DirectX 10 fine in Windows, and Wine claims to emulate DirectX 10. Ubuntu claims to have the latest drivers for most hardware. Is this an Ubuntu or Wine problem?
The problem is the hardware drivers. You can report it to your distro. You might try using the mesa drivers, since the app doesn't look too graphics intensive. FWIW, launches fine here on Nvidia hardware.
