hey jkramer i just wanted to say that although i do get the game running most of the times - i get an occasional "hang" or "frozen-splash-screen" as well which i kill then use wineboot or simply running the command again i added this line to my current /etc/grub.conf (at the end of my loader line) nouveau.modeset=0 vga=ask not quite sure if that did the trick but it sure didnt hurt... hope you'll get it to work :) Sean.
