wine users - Dec 2010 - Assassin's Creed White Screen Problem

I installed Assassin's Creed through WINE. The installation went fine.
I start the game, and I can skip the intro. But when i do, the Assassin's
Creed logo starts to fade in, but stops on a white screen. I can hear the
background music, but i can't do anything.
Anything I can do to try and get the game running?
If you need any information, let me know and I'll try and get that for you.

This sounds like

but I don't know much about it.
