trying to run xcom

[Ivan Leo Murray-Smith]

Open  your wine config file (It's in your home/.wine/config)
find the
[DllOverrides]
section, and add this line
"msvcrt" = "native, builtin, so"
and remove
"msvcrt" = "builtin, native, so"
if it's present.
If you're using your real windows installation to run wine, try running the game
again, if you're using a fake windows installation copy msvcrt.dll from your
windows system directory to
fake_c:\windows\system
and run the game again.
