Still present it Wine 3.9.
With Wine 3.7 in Windows 7 mode, the game at least runs to the login screen,
but hangs after entering the login and password, which at least gives me the
opportunity to play without issues and with good fps thanks to the ability to
use DXVK https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk

But with Wine 3.8 or 3.9, the game does not run at all. I shot a video screen
recording so you can see how it happens:
