Working good in CXG 9.2 and Mac/linux -- Steam version - caveat starting game

This title runs at a silver medal ranking or better - getting it to start however
is a bit of a song&dance. I'll punch out a bug for this and see where that ends
up, but in the interim you have to do something like this below to get it to run...

Mac:

Start CXG -> Crossover menu -> Programs -> Run Command -- select the Steam
bottle, use the Browse function to navigate to the file Steam.exe, select it and
click Open. Expand 'Debug Options' -> tick Create log file -> tick +seh +thread
and put +ntdll in the Other stringbox -> click Run -> a requester will appear
asking you where to write the logfile. Choose a location that you remember (so you
can delete the logfile afterwards) -> click Save. The Steam client will start, go
into your game library and launch Magnetis -- it should run. Once you've finished
playing, quit the game and Steam itself -- delete the logfile created to save disk
space...

Note: on my 11,2 iMac w/ HD5670 I got a blackscreen (with sound) if the game launcher
is configured for windowed mode -- seems to run fine fullscreen however.

linux:

Open a xterm/console and issue the following command ;

[if you installed CXG in your home dir]

~/cxgames/bin/wine --bottle Steam --debugmsg=+seh,+trace,+ntdll --cx-app steam &> ~/delete-me.log

[if you installed CXG in /opt]

/opt/cxgames/bin/wine --bottle Steam --debugmsg=+seh,+trace,+ntdll --cx-app steam &> ~/delete-me.log

Once you've finished playing, quit the game and Steam itself -- delete the logfile created to save
disk space...

As said, game runs at silver/gold level once started like this, hopefully it can be made to
start 'normally' in a future CXG release...

Cheers!
