... Anything else I can try? Any reason the game detects my graphics card incorrectly? Is it related?
Interesting, yes - you should try overriding the video card detection by following the instructions on the Wiki for VideoPciDeviceID/VideoPciVendorID: http://wiki.winehq.org/UsefulRegistryKeys
I'm going to guess that since the graphics card is detected incorrectly that the game or Wine tries to attempt something invalid.
