Just to remark - I have demoversion of CoD4:MW not the full game. I made no suggested performance changes (ie LOD textures). I reinstalled again the whole game, cleared .wine and tried. This time there was no dialog, just a black screen, resolution change and then and then usual error. The log is shorten but the error is the same.
