</div>This is a call to the kind of function that can be used by copy protection systems. In any case this specific function does not exists in wine currently (that's what the 'unimplemented function' is saying) so this game will not work right now under wine.<br>
If this call is made only by the copy protection system then using that kind of 'patch' may be used as a really bad workaround, if this call is made by any other part of the program then it will still not work.<br>
<br>
There is already a bug report for this problem here :<br>

I answered lei's question (which was that the demo didn't work either) and i tried the nocd patch. both the demo and the nocd patched game got rid of the error involving the anit-piracy checker but the game still didn't run and a ton of (i think directx) errors still show up<br>
