I am trying to run the game in Windows XP-64 and Wine (Linux). There seems to be a process however which makes the game atrociously slow, because each menu/screen takes about one minute to load and eventually the game crashes. I was wondering if anybody here has had the same issue and if yes how did you solved it. I am using the 1.3 patch. Here is also a bug report filled for wine with technical data from the program, if anybody is literate in programming : http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15285 .

Thanks for your input, and I hope to see a 1.4 patch eventually. Keep it up folks
