One has to debug through the dll init of 'shaders.dll' to see what's going on.
The ease debugging, the game should be configured to run in Windowed mode (it's
not by default). See registry snippet.

Apparently the game ships its own d3d8->d3d9 thunk dll.
Similar to what this FOSS project does:
https://github.com/crosire/d3d8to9
--- quote ---
This is a pseudo-driver module that intends to improve compatibility and
stability in games using Direct3D 8 for rendering by converting all API calls
and lowlevel shaders to equivalent Direct3D 9 ones. By that it also opens those
games to the new possibilities from proven tools and wrappers written for
Direct3D 9.
--- quote ---
NOTE: The game provided thunk dlls seem to be proprietary/closed (Westwood
Renegade) and have no relation to the FOSS project.
Wine doesn't pick up the d3d8 thunk dll from the game directory but instead
loads the builtin (preferred) one by default, causing a crash due to different
vtable/interface layouts later.
To avoid the crash, force Wine to load native 'd3d8.dll' (thunk/wrapper).
Interestingly the game seems to only need d3d8 override, even though it ships
d3d9 as well ("ShaderInjector"). Maybe it misses some functionality later, I
did not create (host)/join a game to verify.
