Cedega 4.2 fixed the visual glitches in U9. Seems to work quite stable.

Fully playable with the optimize Options.ini (below) under WineX 3.3. Bad visual glitches with Cedega 4.0

Playable under WineX 3.2 but with some visual glitches e.g. unreadable text. Sound is now fully working.

Installation notes:

I copied the Origin System directory from the Windows partition to the WineX drive directory and changed the movie path in Options.ini

WineX 2.1/Red Hat 7.3. Installs fine but crash with the follow error message: readlink - Invalid argument

Transgaming WineX. Work not very well under Linux. You need to change the movie path in Options.ini to any wrong path before you run the game.
