I am running debian 12. The game launches and works correctly in all respects except that it fails too recognize critical keyboard inputs that are necessary to play the game, specifically: a s x space. It every other key that is connected to a function seems to work.
I am pretty sure that the problem is wine related and cannot be fixed on this level, but this is one of my favorite games of all time, so I would be very grateful if a solution could be found.
