I got it working well enough on Linux with a newer version of Wine, so I gave up on trying to get Windows to behave itself. Still hoping for a proper Linux version one day, though.
edit: I think the marshes may be the most linear level, but more importantly I think it has the least of that "indistinguishable connective tissue" I was talking about. Instead of identical hallways all over the place, you have stuff like:
- a broken bridge submerged in sludge
- rocks to jump across
- ledges to traverse
- overhead walkways that you can look down from and see an area you were just in
Stuff like that. I think pretty much everything in the level is recognizable, instead of just hallway #1234987 and hallway #98453. Which one goes where? Better check the map -- whee, it's like I'm playing a top-down shooter instead of an FPS. Whoops, there's a teleporter, who knows where the fuck that goes.
Okay I'm just ranting at this point I'm going to bed.
