Just to help on any OS suspicions: Game works fine for me (very rare crashes) on
- Ubuntu 12.04 & 12.10, intel Sandybridge CPU, NVidia gfx
- Ubuntu 12.10 intel Westmere CPU & integrated gfx, Toshiba Portege r700 laptop (gfx crashed on Ubuntu 12.04, worked on earlier Ubuntus)
- Win7 on the same Portege r700 laptop
All before and after the patch. Sound is on in all setups.
