Additional Comments
Installed and ran the game following the instructions in the admin note. The process went smoothly, except for the issues mentioned above. I used the suggested options.ini and it worked fine. The game seems quite 'sensitive' to those settings though - if I change the resolution or increase LOD, the game will crash.
Otherwise, the game seems playable with those settings. I gave a Silver rating because the fullscreen and resolution issues are quite annoying and the Wine patch seems like quite an involved workaround.
