Tested with wine staging 2.6, 2.7, 2.8 and 2.9 same problem.
But there is a workaround.
Start the game, once you hear the police sound:
- Alt + Tab to another window
- Click directly onto the GTA V window
- Alt + Tab to another window
- Click directly onto the GTA V window

This workaround is not working on my computer either, I tried downloading xfce4 since my WM doesnt have any alt tabbing but it was to no avail.
A better (working) workaround is needed, anyone got some ideas?
Just run the game ins a virtual desktop, press alt enter 1 or 2 times when you hear the loading sound, and it should work
Ok, I managed to see something now (the loading the screen), I did what you said but I also had to change the backscreen rendering mode from FBO to Backbuffer, although now it crashes once I actually get into the game. I'm gonna keep trying until I get it working, I'll try to get an error log if I manage to dechipher the wine manual. Although when not using backbuffer as the offscreen rendering mode then I was able to play the game, just that I couldnt see anything, and by playing I mean clicking left mouse button and hearing the gun shoot.
