Ok last post on this topic as I've more or less got it sorted out now with one exception.

The game is dark as hell. The in-game gamma slider doesn't seem to work. I've edited the gamma value in the ini but it won't seem to go above 20. Am I not understanding how that works? (using the .ini file given in the first post with the only change being my resolution.)

I am on a Linux Mint 18 Cinnamon with Wine 1.8.5.
I ran into the same issue a while back when I moved to Ubuntu 16.04, I use xrandr to set the gamma in the startup script. Those who want to change their gamma/brightness:

Use xrandr to list your outputs:

$ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 768, maximum 8192 x 8192

DVI-0 connected 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 304mm x 228mm

In this example the output is DVI-0, so to change the brightness:

xrandr --output DVI-0 --brightness 2

To change the gamma:

xrandr --output DVI-0 --gamma 2:2:1

Regards,
Mg
