    Comment: Doesn't start unless "d3d8.dll" is overridden in Wine Configuration or a D3D9 wrapper is installed, the game runs an inconsistent frame rate of around 20 - 30 FPS and generally feels very jerky to play, even with the "DirectPlay" Winetrick.

    Comment: At first, the game will run just fine, but background music and cutscenes will not play. Installing "DirectPlay" and putting IndirectSound in the game folder fixes these issues.
