--- Comment #17 from Toni eldrad@autistici.org --- Zebediah btw, about the new title you set for this, I'm not so sure it's right. Probably that component (mfreadwrite.dll) is needed if you have native mfplat.dll already installed.
I think with just regular wine the problem is probably some unimplemented function in mfplat.dll that makes the game crash.
