You are correct, I was using wine from an Ubuntu PPA which was using winepulse.

I tried the same with a vanilla wine 1.5.17 compiled some time ago from git.
The game crashes at the same spot, though this time without the assertion of
course.  The error reads:

wine: Unhandled page fault on write access to 0x00000000 at address 0x78aa1ed7
(thread 0045), starting debugger...

I tried running the game with the latest wine from git, but I cannot get it to
start. It seems like the game tries to use DX11 with the latest wine which is
not fully implemented yet.

wine: Call from 0x7b83b452 to unimplemented function
d3d11.dll.D3D11CreateDevice, aborting

Is there a way I can force the game to use DX9? There is a dedicated executable
for DX11 but none for DX9, so I guess there is some auto detection going on by
the game.
