Have downgraded back to 1.0.1 (the default wine package that comes with Intrepid Ibex).
At the "Select Character" screen, the graphics are a bit weird, like they are wearing semi-transparent tin-foil over their clothes.
As for gameplay, I'll have to get back to you on that one. I have a slow internet connection, so it could take a while to download a map/environment.
