The thing crashing when trying to play intro videos (*if* Windows version is set >XP) is totally legit and accurate behavior for wine. See https://cookieplmonster.github.io/2018/05/18/fixing-the-godfather.html
If instead you are using XP, then that is actually a bug.
The movie folder is renamed and I'm using XP mode.
The game crashes after the "EA logo" and before the copyright screen. The intro movies are played after the copyright screen.
It's NOT the movie bug.
It ran fine without the movies for years. I can't recall what was the last "known good" version of Wine. It was way before 3.0, maybe around the 1.7.* versions. I'll make a regression test if necessary.
Note: The SilentPatchGF doesn't work but don't discuss it here: It's a separate issue.
