I've got Ubuntu 13.10, AMD FX 8320 cpu, nvidia gtx 660, wine 1.7.11 (compiled from source with csmt patches from Stefan Dosinger's git repo. (although I'm pretty sure it works without CSMT). I just have a few basics installed through winetricks. Vcrun, dotnet35, that sort of thing. Also the game is an untouched install, no cracks or anything.
no cracks. interesting.
which windows version is wine set to pretend to be? also, are you inserting the dvd in your drive?
without the crack, the copy protect was always failing.
Steam version, and my windows version is set to XP, but it should work fine with win7 or whatever you please. And yes, for me it failed up until I read about a test result in which the game worked, and that was with wine 1.7.1.
