Silent Hunter 5, steam, uplay and Linux

So it's update time. I started a new 32 bit wine prefix so I could add dotnet20 (I can't figure out how to add it to 64 bit prefix) and with the current wine staging (3.4) I was able to start and "play" the game.

Unfortunately the game is unplayable. Anytime I am in the submarine the camera does not update. If I click and drag or walk the screen isn't updated untill I double tap F2 (move to external camera and back). The rest of the UI appears to work including talking to crew, but thats a bit of a guess since I don't know what it should be like. If I use one of the single missions to start outside the ship the camera moves normally (until I enter the sub, with exiting "fixing" it), but the textures are all kinds of messed up including a lightning strike that covers the screen for 3 seconds.

If anyone has some tips I'd love to hear about it, otherwise I'll see what I can do myself.

Oh and <o to you too!
