wine users - May 2010 - Assassin's Creed 2... so close!

Whew!  Hopefully I am getting closer to playing (or at least loading ;)
Assassin's Creed 2 on Linux!  I am using Dormine's server emulator, Wine
1.1.42 and Ubuntu Lucid Lynx.  I set wine to use native winhttp, and I got
HttpProxyConfig to connect to the fake server.  It even checked and said I had
the latest version!  Then I get an ugly window saying the Ubisoft Game Launcher
has encountered a serious problem and needs to close.  Terminal output for wine
as follows:

This is the first time Wine has failed me (or is it the other way 'round?). 
Do I post a bug report?  Anyone?

At the very least update the thread discussing how to connect on its
Appdb page.

This bug might be worth updating with your information, it appears to
be where this is being sorted.

Crap.  I lost it.  My hd had errors or something (i/o freezing the system) and I
re-installed on a new partition of a different drive.  I messed up and
didn't save my home dir, so now I'm back to square one.  I'm missing
something, because now it's failing to start proxy instance, which I never
got that message before.  I'm regressing...sigh.  Almost makes me want to
give up on AC2 on linux
