(First off, sorry Anastasius, I definitely don't want to clutter bug reports
and waste developers' time. Still one part of my message was aimed to provide
users with a working workaround).

I hope it is ok that I post my non-ME3 findings here.

I patched wine 1.7.30 (otherwise using current Debian packaging).

I could start SimCity 2013 from Origin, then the SimCity start menu appeared.
After being responsive for a few seconds it froze, while the music still
continued. (This happened if I did nothing. If I clicked some IGO-only links in
the menu I got an error message that the file type was not registered in
Windows (so it worked), then it froze. If I clicked "play" it switched to a
black frozen screen.)
I could still use e.g. the Origin window though, but couldn't close it or the
whole  virtual desktop window, since "SimCity is running". After killing the
SimCity process everything was back to normal.
In about 1 of ten tests SimCity didn't freeze, but crashed.

With an unpatched wine SimCity *always* crashes if IGO is enabled.

So definitely a difference, SimCity freezes instead of crashing. I might test
with ME3 once downloading in Origin works again.
