This happens with wine 3.4 as well. What's weird, is that the audio still
works, this issue was reminiscent with the older versions of wine.

Traditionally, the workaround for spintires, was to open winecfg and add the
highest d3dx9 library as an override. This would fix the issue of the black
screen upon launch. This was the case with versions of wine in 3.0 rc1 through
6.

Fast forward to wine 3.3 and 3.4, spintires will run flawlessly with the
d3dx9_43 override in place. But you had to have already had that override in
place with an older version of wine, and upgraded to these versions.

If you create a new prefix with 3.3 and try this override, you get a
blackscreen on launch.

If you have an old prefix that upgrade to wine version 3.3, the game will run
without an issue.

It's as if setting the override in winecfg doesn't take hold in wine 3.3
anymore. It's a weird kind of regression.
