For starters, does this still happen if you first delete your ~/.wine directory,
and then install the game without any tweaking of wine?

Deleting ~/.wine can help if you accidentally copied in a native DLL
at some point
that's screwing you up...

But looking at
http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=1033
I don't see much reason for optimism.  Perhaps the game just
isn't supportable yet in Wine.  But I don't see any bugs filed for this problem
yet... maybe that would help, especially if there's a demo.
