wine users - May 2009 - FEAR 2 on WINE 1.1.21???

Hi there,

I got this problem, it's making me frantic:
I got fear 2 as a present and installed it via wine, after installing vcrun2008
with winetricks, the game worked perfectly(wine 1.1.18/19). The Texture were
black at 1st, but deactivating the game's graphic effect Ambient
Lighting(not sure about the name, but it's the last option in the fear 2
graphic settings) fixed the game.
Since 1.1.20, the game won't start anymore! Now I'm using 1.1.21 and
whenever I start the game, it gives me this:

Btw, I installed vcrun2008 via winetricks. MSVCR80 and such are part of
vcrun2005, which I installed, too, but this output didn't change. As a test,
I added the MSVCR80 & MSVCP80.dll to the windows/systems folder, but
starting fear 2 didn't work.

Now, before I roll back to 1.1.19, I wanted to know if others have the same
problem. If yes, then this might be an indication for another Regression.

P.S.: I copied the FEAR2 folder to my WindowsXP on vmware and the game worked
flawlessly there...[/code]

You may have installed some other program after Fear2 that tried to install the
VCRedist over top of the one you already had installed hence messing up your
/windows/winsxs directory. It's a good idea to make the directory read-only.

  LTMemory.dll & GameDatabase.dll are Fear2 specific files that should be in
the game folder wether you're using the steam or (cough) non-steam version.

MSVCRxx.dll Files messes up wine, so if you have any of those files in System32
folder remove them.
MSVCPxx.dll files are fine to put there.
