[Wine] Battlefront 2 extremely long level loading times

[thorin]

Hello people. I have a bit of a problem with Star Wars Battlefront 2. Finally got it to mostly behave, but the problem I am having is that when I attempt to load a level, it hangs on the loading screen for something like five minutes before loading. I'd like some ideas on how to get it to load a little quicker. Any ideas as to what tests I could run, registry hacks I could do, etc? 

Any help appreciated, thanks.
