--- Comment #2 from JR zorael@gmail.com 2012-10-01 06:11:00 CDT --- Persists in 1.5.14 with the Steam version of the game. Machine is running Kubuntu 12.10b2 amd64 and Wine was run in a win32 prefix.
gfw was installed via winetricks but xlive.dll was not overridden; doing so would halt execution at an even earlier state with an error message complaining about needing said dll.
Notably it does work if you use modified executables to bypass copy protection, which is obviously strongly discouraged.
