Fantastic! 

I managed to find an apparently patched ddraw.dll from a years old tarball that
was sitting on my system the last time I encountered this issue, but after
putting it into ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32 I still had the same issue. If
I could get a tarball from you with a tested ddraw.dll, (plus correct
instructions, not sure if I'm just supposed to put it into system32) that would
be awesome. 

Cheers!
