--- Comment #23 from GyB gyebro69@gmail.com 2011-12-06 13:06:35 CST --- Good news to the fans of Tex Murphy games: at last Overseer starts and runs fine in the latest git version (wine-1.3.34-39-g95f81d1). I tested with the GOG.com version of the game.
The commit that fixed the problem: http://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/commit/cc06d182fb433c7009dfb640b33d4ec...
You should stick to the default Opengl renderer when starting Overseer, because ddr=gdi causes a crash on launch.
Please re-test with wine-1.3.34-39-g95f81d1 (or newer) and report back what you find.
