Nah, I think it was my mistake for not making it clear enough that my second try
(that one with the tutorial) wasn't with PlayOnLinux.
I had the feeling that I had a lot less "mouselag" than with
POL/before in the menu, but as before I wasn't able to start Single Player
since then it hang up. Nothing really happened and my whole machine was slowed
down. I somehow killed the process then. (I can recall pressing ctrl + c in the
console/terminal, but not sure if this one killed it). Other PRETTY minor
problem was that my mouse cursor from Linux was also ingame.
I couldn't test MP since the ID which is necessary for it gets generated out
of a few things, for instance windows user account name, game installation key
(NOT a cd key...this game doesn't even has one, lol ^_^) and so on. But I
forgot that I still have some old ones, I will insert them the next time when I
try out MP.
The SP starts with a in space video (iirc it is not a video file but gets
generated by the game world combined with some action scripts) and I can also
remember that it was said some time ago that the menu of Freelancer works but
the space not. At least not without configuring wine.
Unfortunally my terminal log is filled mostly with the same error message, which
has deleted all previous lines. But I have increased the max. lines in the
terminal dramatically now. Shall I re-try then now with the same procedure?
Anyways, here are the messages which are still left in the console:
