The only thing I can think of that would work is if you tried playing the game in a VM. And I think it has a lot to do with the Platform Update from MS that was included in the Windows updates. That would certainly explain why it's not loading in Wine (maybe somebody can correct me if I'm wrong).I installed DirectX 11 using winetricks, a very common tool to install additional libraries for wine. However, the problem remains unchanged.
When starting the game from the command line, I get the following output:
I hope this helps narrowing down the problem.
Regarding the Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls, AFAIK it is part of the VB runtime, which is installed. SO no idea why it's complaining about it ...
I don't think there's a way to incorporate the Platform Update in Wine.
So if you decided to try using a VM to play on, I would suggest installing Windows 7 and only getting the necessary Platform Update and restart your guest OS. You'd be able to play the game fine after that.
