I'm afraid so. When trying to run it with winecfg set to emulate Windows Vista,
the game fails to launch entirely (separate bug posted for that).

This bug refers specifically to using a 3rd-party xp loader and having winecfg
set to Windows XP mode.

Same thing happens with 1.1.28 - I get 100% cpu activity, no console output and
nothing ever launches.

Instructions and link to XP patch can be found here:

Note that I am using an actual Halo 2 Vista DVD and not a pirated copy, so
there is no question of my copy being corrupt or different. It does work fine
on my Vista boot, but not in Ubuntu 9.04 64-bit running wine 1.1.28
