I don't have Windows installed, but I tried the game in Virtualbox (Windows XP
guest). The game when started gets a bit further than in Wine, intro videos are
played but the game crashes before reaching the menu.
What's more interesting was that verifying the game files resulted in the same
problem: the 2 files (SpaceMarine.exe and installscript.vdf) were mismatched
and were downloaded each time I performed file verification.
