graphics glitchy and crashes before world entry

[dizewarrior]

Hi I'm new to Regnum Online. I have yet to play it for I have had very little luck getting the client to run after installation.

I am running Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid and my graphics drivers are Intel 945 mobile chipset

I'm able to run Diablo 2 under WINE so I imagine I am able to play Regnum (on lowest settings at the least)

Anyway, on to the problem:

I was able to log in and select a server, after that I chose a faction then went on the create a character. The graphics became really glitchy (big random textures everywhere) but I still made my character. I hit the "Start" button or whatever and another loadscreen came up, then the client closed. It kept my video resolution at what the game was set to be (1080x768x32 I believe) so I ended up logging out to reset it.

I tried running it in a window and at other resolutions but with no luck.

Any ideas why this problem is occuring? And any pointers?

Thanks
