How to get Crusader Kings II to work on Linux using Wine

Hello guys,

 This is a tutorial on how to get Crusader Kings II to work on Linux using Wine.

 I've meant to write this tutorial sooner. However, when the 1.05 patch was released, CKII starts crashing during start up on Linux and I wasn't able to find out what is the cause of the problem, so I waited until I can find the solution to the problem.

 Well, it turns out that since 1.05, you need another DLL override, namely wininet, to have the game starts properly.

 With that problem solved, I presents to you guys the tutorial on how to get Crusader Kings II working on Linux through Wine.

 I hope that this little guide of mine will be of some use to the community.

 Also, if you noticed any mistake or inaccuracy in this guide, please don't hesitate to point them out to me.

Installation Instructions
 This guide assumed you have Steam version of Crusader Kings II.

 The tools you needed to install and run Crusader Kings II on Linux are:
Wine version 1.4 or later
Winetricks

 Please refers to your distro documentations on how to install both packages.

 After you have installed Wine and Winetricks, install Steam client using the following command from the command line:
$ msiexec /i SteamInstall.msi
 Proceeds with installation as normal.

 Once Steam client is installed, launch it, login, and use the client to install Crusader Kings II just as you would have done on Windows.

 After the client finished installing Crusader Kings II, use Winetricks to install the following DLL overrides:
d3dx9
vcrun2010
wininet (Required since version 1.05 or else the game will crash during start up)

 By issuing the following command in the terminal:
$ winetricks d3dx9 vcrun2010 wininet
 Then start the game by issuing the following command from the game directory*:
$ wine ck2.exe
 And that's it! Enjoy the game!

 *The game directory is locate at (assumed that you are using the default Wine prefix):
~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Steam/steamapps/common/crusader kings ii/
What Works
Graphics, with some minor issue (see below)
Sounds & Music
Everything in the single player/campaign so far

 In short, everything in the single player/campaign mode works. I've been playing for hours without encountering any major issues.

 I haven't test multiplayer, nor Paradox Connect, or the Achievements.

Known Issues
 The problem with flickering terrain textures that I encountered since version 1.04 and described in this thread is still presents. Fortunately, it doesn't occur that often and doesn't seem to affect stability or game play, so I consider it to be a minor issue.
