Hi!
I have tried to install Mass Effect several times on my Thinkpad L520 Notebook
with Linux Mint 12 and wine 1.3.35 from the ubuntu-wine ppa. I have two discs,
the first DVD installs the game, the second CD patches it to version 1.01a, with
some Czech and Hungarian extensions. I guess the first DVD is for version 1.00,
but I could't find out.
My problem is, even the first installing process fails at the end, after the
status bar shows that the installation has finished. A wine windows appears,
that a crash has occurred.
The last Terminal output is
Code:

If I try to start the Game with the ".../.wine/me/drive_c/Programme/Mass\
Effect/Binaries/MassEffect.exe", the last output is

If I move on and patch the Game with the CD, it's quite similar. The only
difference is, that without the patch, the config tool crashes, too; after the
patch it works, but the game won't start either, only the splashscreen
appears.
I also tried with wine 1.2.3, it didn't work either.
What could I do to run the game, either patched or unpatched?
