what graphics card and driver are you using...? – fossfreedom♦ Dec 31 '11 at 10:53
it's a nvidia gforce 220M and the driver is the 290.1 – Riuzaki90 Dec 31 '11 at 11:10
its good that you are using nvidia since wine games work best with nvidia. Is this a full screen issue? can you run the game in a window via winecfg? I would file a bug report at winehq.org if you cant get it to work. – fossfreedom♦ Dec 31 '11 at 12:17

Have you tried installing trough PlayOnLinux? It's a program that loads specific wine versions/settings based on what you want to run. I've used it for other games and for me works best than "bare" wine...

I can't really read the name of the program that crashed, I assumed you looked into it (and the fact that it looks like a 64bit executable)... – Nicola Feltrin Dec 31 '11 at 16:14
