As you can see, the most common errors are err:seh:setup_exception and err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection. I've also done some more tests with other games like Revolt, Anno 1503, Half-Life 2, and the errors all look alike.
anno 1503 never ever worked for me (there where some discussion about apps like this that follow a pattern with ddraw and threads, that wine might be able to handle (ever)).
I know that it's not supposed to work, but don't you think it's strange that I only get two types of error messages with any game, regardless if it's known to work or not?
like Stefan i would also consider this more like a problem with the installation? i also run all the games on a opteron box with 64bit gentoo and manual compiled wine. i had no problems as i switched last year from the 32bit platform other then the problems i had beforehand. although anno1503 is the only game you mentioned, that is also on my list - beside that i know the following games work: black mirror, nibiru (demo) il2 (stormovik, foreign battles, aces, pacific fighters), jagged alliance 2, grand prix legends, baldurs gate2, planescape torement - and i have problems running ankh, raven shield, richard burns rally.
