It does seem random.

I will say that I seem to have the best experience by:
1) Increase linux swappiness. GTAV loves using every bit of ram it can, and
seems to expect the OS to swap out as it loads new environments. This will
result in stuttering if your swappiness is too low. Either use a swap file or
swap partition (preferably with zswap), then increase swappiness to about 90: #
sysctl vm/swappiness=90 
Doing so drastically reduces major stuttering, and hdd thrashing.
2) Start in windowed mode (not borderless). When you hear the SECOND gun shot,
alt enter. Wait until audio comes back. Hit alt+enter as soon as you hear it.
Wait until audio comes back. Hit alt+enter again. If that doesn't work, you may
as well alt-tab out and pkill GTA, try again. I've never seen it work after a
third alt-tabbing, to be honest. Even this is a total crap shoot. Like you
said, it's variable --- Sometimes I get it the second time around. Sometimes I
get it to work after about 20x of doing the exact same thing. It'd be great if
the wine devs could get gtav to start. Once it does, it actually runs fairly
well [in full screen; miserably in windowed mode].

If the game swaps to a grind, then I often lose audio altogether. Also,
sometimes the audio begins crackling, and I have no idea why. If it will
crackle, it seems to do so by the main menu. If it isn't going to crackle, then
the main menu even sounds normal. Seems to happen due to alt-enter timing. No
silver bullet yet, but I'm impressed by its performance if you can get it to
run.
