with native dlls

my pc configuration:
proc: intel core 2 duo e4500 2.2 ghz 2mb l2 cache socket 775
mem: 1.5 gb mem.
graphics: dedicated geforce 8400gs, 512 mb
moboard: intel 945-gcnl
chipset: intel 945 gc
hdd: seagate barracuda 7200.12 500  + western digital 80 gb
dvd drive: sony optiarc 24x writer
os: ubuntu oneiric ocelot 11.10 (dvd install) x86_64
    microsoft windows xp pro sp3
video driver: 290.10 (ppa for nvidia cards)

wrc fia version : 1.00.0000 & 1.01.0000

the game works fine on windows xp but used to crash on ubuntu initially.
so i addded the following native dlls by placing them where the game was
installed:
devenum
dinput
dinput8
dsound
ole2
ole2disp
ole2nls
ole32
oleacc
oleaccrc
oleaut32
olecli
olecli32
olecnv32
oledlg
oleprn
olepro32
olesvr
olesve32
olethk32
quartz
win.com
win32k.sys
win32spl

(not sure whether all of the above were needed)

initially the game used to refuse to even show the default wine crash dialog
as i added more & more native dlls as needed the game settings menu was
accessible and also the game started in full screen mode.
but the problem was the black screen afterr entering full screen.
I had to press ALT-F4 to bring the exit confirmation dialog box.
agter hitting no there the game proceeds but after a second it gets stuck and
it takes 10-15 seconds for the next frame to come
also there is no response to input except for ALT-F4 to quit
I suspect it is win32 & dinput where the problem does not solve even after
adding native dlls

i have added attachments of logs generated with & without the native dlls
with dlls i could not even respond to the exit dialog box
got win:registerrawinputdevices & win:getrawinputdevices

Then don't do that, setup with native DLLs is invalid and can't be supported.

as far as version 1.3.33 & 1.3.34 were concerned i could hardly get anything on
the screen (it used to crash after started the game from the settings window)
so i checked which dlls caused those errors & replaced them with the native
ones

but with this version 1.3.35 even without any native dlls I am now able to
enter the game & it just gets frozen after that (& runs with 0.1 fps) with no
response to input.so the game runs upto certain extent without any native dll
now

so addition of these dlls for version 1.3.35 might be inconsequential since
changes must have been made since V34.

the game probably never went past the settings menu in v 1.3.33 & 1.3.34
without native dlls. The first error i got was related to quartz.dll,
subsequently it led to addition of more dlls as i got other errors until i got
errors related to
win:registerrawinputdevices & win:getrawinputdevices (I couldnt go any
further.)

as with version 1.3.35 even without any native dll I can reach in the game
(where of course the fps is 0.1 with no response to input, & i have to force
kill the process) 
this must be the cause:
err:ole:CoCreateInstance apartment not initialised
err:quartz:GetClassMediaFile Media class not found

so now addition of those native dlls is inconsequential as i end up at the same
place without them

hence we can say that the game works upto a certain point without native dlls
in the latest version.

One problem per bug please.

Also your system is barely meeting minimum system requirements spec.

I dont think that these system specs. have to do much with the problem.
as per my experience the program may crash because of low mem, but this one
still remains.
processor almost never causes any problem (this same game I had tried on
Sempron 2 ghz with onboard geforce 6100) and the game worked on some previous
wine releases (off course not smoothly).

The problem is what? Low FPS. And the low FPS happens when? When system is not
powerful enough.

Closing invalid. Wine won't ever have same performance as native.

You are welcome to open separate bugs for other problems (crash, not response
to input, etc).

low fps generally means that the game is actually working fine but not
performing
in my case the low fps is just the side effect of the real problem
in fact the game will perform with acceptable fps if the bug is corrected

######## LOW FPS is not the problem at all ########

I was probably wrong to include the side effect into the bug name (I'm new to
bugzilla, so sorry)

heres the problem:

when I enter the game, the intro works fine for a second and then gets stuck &
goes to the next frame after 5-10 seconds (this is the fps part which is not
the problem but the side effect) the problem is:

THE GAME DOES NOT TAKE ANY INPUT FROM THE USER

> /windows/e/wrc$ wine launcher

Did you actually installed it in Wine?
Also what sort of input are you expecting if your screen updates every 10-15
seconds?

Have you disabled any 3d desktop effects? Are you running this game in virtual
desktop or full screen? Have you set all game settings to minimal?

1-
installed it on wine 1.3.35

2-
actually a person playing a game with that fps should feel that there is no
input being taken, but I tried with the keyboard when it asks to press enter to
enter into the main game menu (BTW the game is made to take only keyboard
input) by pressing ENTER for very long periods ~1 minute. I tried different
combinations (holding the enter continuously,rapidly hitting it again & again)
but it doesn't work.

most importantly I get this error when I press any key I get this error in the
console
fixme:win:GetRawInputDeviceList (pRawInputDeviceList=(nil),
puiNumDevices=0x402e558, cbSize=8) stub!

fixme:win:RegisterRawInputDevices (pRawInputDevices=0x6ce343cc, uiNumDevices=1,
cbSize=12) stub!

you will find these error in the end of the 2 attachments I had posted

At that point I was trying to hit the enter key again & again

3-
I tried the game with full screen & windowed with full effects
& also the same with no effects
also tried disabling sounds
but the difference was fps was slightly improving (5 secs for each frame)
but other problems were as always persistent.

4-
I dont use any virtual environment. directly installed it on ubuntu
