This is bug in old Mono version. The only reason it doesn't trigger for you on Windows XP is because XP reports invalid DST/STD dates for your time zone. If you try to run this program on newer Windows version - it will fail in the same exact way as on Wine.
I read every post on this bug.
That's fair enough, but then surely if Wine is set to Windows XP compatibility mode then it should report dates in exactly the same way as XP does, should it not?
I don't think people are going to be happy that a bug is going to be closed without a fix so this game will never work, as "It's a mono bug" doesn't really solve the issue in any way shape or form. It works on XP, so if I set Wine to XP then it should work because it should be mimicking XP's behaviour.
