Ok I've executed the BlackScreen startup, but still no show.

Code:
wildcard at amd64 ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/EA GAMES/Battlefield 1942 $ winedbg BlackScreen.exe 1 +game bf1942 +restart 1 +joinServer 203.14.173.130:14567 +isInternet 1 +reconnectPassword 2217
WineDbg starting on pid 0018
0x7ee43830: movl        %esi,0x0(%esp)
Wine-dbg>c
Process of pid=0018 has terminated
Wine-dbg>



I know that BF1942 should work (it's got a platinum rating). The feeling I have is that it can be x64, libs and/or configuration.

Video is the latest NVidia driver 169.12 (latest stable driver).

Is there an howto on debugging these kind of issues??
