But anyway, if people want an easy way to at least get it running, this could be an opportunity. After copying the files, you can always uninstall IEs4Linux. IEs4Linux doesn't do anything except automatize the installation of a lot of native Windows components (downloaded from microsoft.com), so I would say that, in some way, it's not _directly_ related in that way (I think we're still only talking about Wine + Evil Genius). Maybe I should try finding out exactly which components are needed by Evil Genius, and then we can continue from there :) I guess it's just a matter of trial and error, seeing how many native component I can disable. I hope this is not a stupid question, but what are your policies about native Windows files? And... well... I didn't bother to read any of Microsoft's license agreements to be honest, but is it legal to freely download something from microsoft.com and use it in a non-Windows environment?
Anyway, I'm still unable to play the game due to the RAM leak. I'm not a skilled programmer (or Linux user for that sake), so I don't really know how to approach this problem. It would be great if someone knowledgeable could help troubleshooting the problem. I'll gladly spend some more hours trying to find the bug, if anyone has any suggestion what I should try next.
