Please check the bugs which are already opened for your game ( 
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=10446&sAllBugs 
and http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=6517 ). 
Are the bugs all in the demo from 
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=6222 or do 
the games differ that much that they have different bugs? If the bugs 
are in the demo (please add a bug link there), the developers could test 
it easily.

You could also try to check bugs (e.g. 
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16836 , 
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12538 ) which were requested to 
add some information. I'm not sure if you only have version 1.3 and not 
1.x and if they differ in the case of bugs.

This would at least reduce the noise of already fixed/ not fixed bugs, 
so that only still valid reports are around.
