Hi,
I m not able to start the game. I get the following message:
** Mon May 24 19:37:28 2010

fixme:imm:ImmDisableIME (-1): stub
err:winediag:WSASocketW Failed to create a socket of type SOCK_RAW, this requires special permissions.
The game is trying to do something odd, network-wise. It has requested a raw socket, which, as indicated, requires root privileges on Unix-type OSes. With a raw socket, a program can put anything on the wire, including packets that would disrupt the network, which is why they're restricted.
That's not necessarily the reason the game isn't running, though. For example, the game can't rely on having access to raw sockets even on Windows.
There may be some other incompatibility that isn't evident from the logging.
