That's odd, I had to go back as far as 1.1.34 to get the game to start. It doesn't start for me with Wine-1.2.3 either.
The symptoms are identical, but our bugs are probably unrelated it seems.. Ftr, I didn't need to do any tinkering around in the registry to make it run with the commit before the first bad commit for me, or v1.2.3. I set it to use ALSA and either Win7 or WinXP mode globally (likely the former) in winecfg, but nothing else that I recall, fresh prefix.
I have a GTS 250 similarly, but I'm using the 270.41.03 nvidia drivers. Arch Linux 64 bit, liquorix kernel 2.6.38.2.
