dtgreene: The following works in my test environment:

1. winetricks d3dx9: This allows you to at least see the first logo

I have tried installing wmp9, wmp10, and allcodecs. Currently, it freezes at the logo video, and gives an error "Required media codec 'vidc WMV3' not found!" that is visible if I press escape.

This thread will be used to document my experiments with seeing what works.

Edit: After installing a bunch of stuff, installing Quartz got the logo to work, allowing me to get to the main menu.

dtgreene: Yes, it didn't get past that point, which is strange since my old install (which I still have) doesn't have any issue. Also, I get no sound.

Edit: Fixed typo.

dtgreene: Second try, installing the following in order:

d3dx9 (otherwise the game crashes when the logo would load)
quartz
devenum
wmp9

At this point, I get the logo, which works fine.

Furthermore, I can start a new game.

Still no sound, but that might be the fault of the chroot setup (Turns out it is: see below.).

After copying my .asoundrc from outside the chroot, I get sound, except in the two movies. If you really want to hear the audio in the movies, you can play them separately with mplayer.
