I just tried that, and the results are exactly the same: config util only
allows 1600x1200 if I emulate virtual desktop, and then game runs in a window
and crashes on startup after showing the splash screens/videos.

H: is mapped to my Linux home directory, which is I think ext4. It's on the
same partition as the OS.


I think I've figured something out, though: The crash doesn't happen if I
disable movies, and the game runs in pseudo-fullscreen if I use a virtual
desktop. All of this seems to be related to the fact that the game tries to
change the (virtual) display to a lower resolution while showing movies, which
apparently wine is not handling very well.

I seem to remember that either the HQ movie pack or the widescreen mod may
patch the movies to run at higher resolution, which may make things work
better.

Neither disabling movies nor installing hacks should be a required workaround
for a good out-of-the-box experience with Wine, however, and people are
therefore being too generous with their platinum ratings.
