Hmm, I have used the setting "winetricks orm=backbuffer" to try to run another game, but that was a long time ago.....I think. I did run that command though at least once but not for trying to get this game working. If there is a way to ensure it is not using backbuffer please let me know. I do not know how to drop it.
It's stored in the OffscreenRenderingMode registry key, just delete it with regedit for example (look up http://wiki.winehq.org/UsefulRegistryKeys for the exact path.)
I tried wine-1.7.51 and wine-1.7.50. Wine-1.7.50 was available in Arch repos in August 28th, that is as far as I went as I began playing this game after August 28th (around September 18th and I was keeping Arch up to date) and the game worked fine.
So I take Wine 1.7.50 is also broken for you?
ATM, I applied an HD Mod patch for this game and it "solved" the issue for now, textures are different but the issues I described in OP are not present. I wouldn't really call that saving the problem though.
Yeah, it sounds like the mod is a workaround for your issue somehow. That doesn't really help figuring out your problem though :/
