There have been workarounds suggested on the appdb page (http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=181&iTestingId=33818), which include getting a native d3drm.dll, which I did.  This and one other native DLL (d3dxof.dll) reduced the number of errors and also prolonged the time to crash, but there are still other errors causing the game to crash in this mode.

So I want to submit a bug for the further errors, but the docs say not to submit bugs using native DLL overrides.  But in this case, it seems like additional bugs would still be there even if the d3drm.dll bug was fixed?  Obviously this isn't a 100% statement, but I can tell from the debug output that the errors aren't coming from within the native DLLs, they are from other wine DLLs.

Yeah, go ahead. Just be sure to mention that you used the dll and the
bug # it works around.
