If your wine has a compatible default prefix (/home/.wine);
# whereis wine
wine: /usr/bin/wine /opt/wine-4.19/bin/wine
This would give you;
# /usr/bin/wine Ascension.exe -opengl
Note the "-opengl" commandline switch, forces GL rendering which can be better than DirectX under linux.
Some linux distro's crash at or just before the client select screen... Try renaming "Divxtac.dll" to "xxxDivxtac.dll" ... that fixed ours!
