Tried it, but game can't even get to the main menu because there's too much
information sent to a file.
I tried, however, to reinstall the game on my 32 bit laptop (with an integrated
Intel graphics card) and it is not sluggish, so I suppose the sluggishness is
due to some weirdness inside ATI/AMD proprietary drivers.
At first I thought it may be due to the fact I'm using a 24bpp desktop colour
depth. I tried to fall back to 16bpp (editing xorg.conf accordingly), but it
seems the ATI fglrx driver is kinda reluctant to display a thing at that color
depth. X doesn't even start.
I tried to set "PseudoColorVisuals On" and "UseFastTLS 2" inside the driver
options in xorg.conf, but nothing changed at all.
The funny thing is that now on my "sluggish" desktop machine the game
successfully reads the data it needs from the CDs, but on the laptop it
doesn't: it keeps asking for a game CD even if it is already in the drive. This
blocks the entire game from starting. It's not possible to either click "OK" or
"Cancel", so I have to shut the game down with ALT+F4.

I can play it fine under Windows Xp with little trouble (and some sound issues
if I don't play the game as an admin user), although I didn't test the
multiplayer mode.

To me, they only play on Windows. Either my Slamd64 desktop and my 32 bit
Slackware-laptop don't play a thing when the game starts. The first screen that
appears is the loading screen (the one with the three combots), then the menu.
Have you installed codecs under wine in order to play the movies?
For your information, all the installations I made were "Full" installations,
nor "Recommended" nor "Minimal".

Tried disabling GLSL to no avail.

What multiple selection?

However, thanks for the help & patience.
