wine users - Jun 2011 - problem with wine and Lord of the Rings Online

I am having a problem with Lord of the Rings Online. The games load up  but
after a few minutes the game video locks up but the sound can still be heard and
I can not seem to fix it. Here is the error message I get 
http://pastebin.com/LGDpeV4q I am running wine 1.3.21  on mint 11 64 bit KDE,
compositing is off, graphics driver is nvidia 270.41.06, and 32 bit opengl
drivers are installed. Does anyone know how to fix this?

The main problem in the appdb for Lord of the Rings and DDO has to do with
changing zones and loading new characters.

The only known 'fix' which doesn't fix it but mitigates it greatly
is that when zoning, change to very low textures in the advanced graphics tab.

Also, I know wine 1.3.21 has some pretty severe mouse problems in DDO, at least
on my Macintosh. Per the appdb, it seems LOTRO does as well.

Depending on your set-up, the AppDB might have some more help for you. Hope that
helps.

I'll have a look.  So far the recipe for installing seems to be

  wget http://content.turbine.com/sites/clientdl/lotro/lotrohigh.exe
  rm -rf ~/.wine
  winetricks vcrun2008   # for bug 24020
  GC_DONT_GC=1 wine lotrohigh.exe   # for bug 22152

It'l says it will take 5 hours to download... 10GB is a seriously big game.
