WineHQ lists this as gold for WINE v1.1.14 but I'm having zero luck running it.
At first I was getting an a3dapi.dll error so I disabled it through WINE config. I still get the same crash though trying to load the game. Here is the debug output:

I'm running Debian Jessie/Sid. I've tried Tachyon with several recent versions of WINE as well as WINE 1.1.14 as reported working on WineHQ.
I can't decypher anything that's breaking it in the debug output. I have Dx9 and nGLIDE installed in the same virtual drive but the errors were identical before I installed them.
