[Wine] Re: Game quits right after starting. HELP!

Wine does have its own DirectX, which works for many games.

Sometimes you have to load a native DirectX dll, e.g. with
  winetricks d3dx9_36
but you should only do that if it's really needed.

( Looks like your game has a german demo at

I'll have a look if it ever finishes downloading. )
