Is it possible that you set the OffscreenRenderingMode registry key to "backbuffer" since the last time you played the game? In any case, if that is set please drop it.
What version of Wine did you go back to to retest? Try 1.7.50 or older if you haven't tried already.
BTW, next time please attach the screenshots to the bug instead of linking to an external site.
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. 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.
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.
I'll remember about attachments, sorry.
Thank you for your support btw!
