I am concerned about if we are experiencing the same bug. I have noticed that
the demo is based on the old 1.0 release that had extra issues (in wine the
demo worked fine circa wine-1.2.x to wine-1.3.25 but can't be sure right now),
so, to ensure that we aren't looking at different bugs I developed a method to
ensure that this isn't happening (is a little bit hackish method though).

Steps are the following:

There's a upgrade patch for the full version at:
http://download.shrapnelgames.com/downloads/weirdworlds_v122patch.exe , please
download it.

It is just a self extracting zip file, but don't install it, just "unzip
weirdworlds_v122patch.exe" somewhere, and there will be a bunch of files.
Rename the extracted weird.exe to weird_v1.22.exe (or whatever you want name
it), and copy only weird_v1.22.exe to the folder where the demo is installed,
this is very important as if you copy all the files the game will expect the
full version of thegame and will fail to start.

Run the game with "wine weird_v1.22.exe" (or if you want to see if the game
starts without launcher "wine weird_v1.22.exe -skiplauncher -game default").
The game will start, show the intro credits, and will hang or crash at the main
screen, but this is expected due to the missing files, and can be closed with
alt+f4.

Joaopa, Austin, will you be kind enough to give it a try this way?
