Right, this is a pain to read through the debug log. The game is trying to find
dozens of nonexisting files, for example in directories called "StaticMeshes" etc.
These directories are not present on windows as well. Just before this mess
starts, it reads from the file user.ini, which in wine is just empty.On windows
this looks like:

[BlockLoading]
LoadFromResourceBlockFiles=True
[Source Control]
UseSourceSafe=0
[Engine.Engine]
UpdateGameSys=0

After putting this in the file user.ini, the crash is gone, and it gets further,
then it crashes in wined3d. Hack from comment #12 lets it proceed, and then
there's another crash in wined3d. Maybe changing directX settings would help
here, didn't try.

However, the question is why this file user.ini is empty, this must be some bug
during the install, so i'll add the word installer for now to the bug.
