The Witcher 3. The game does not start.

I know about
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43167
but I have another console output, another hardware, and, most likely, other
reasons for this problem.

I have Wine Staging 2.10, Arch Linux x86_64, AMD Radeon HD7770, Mesa 17.1.2,
Linux 4.11.6.
I applied this registry key, because without it, Wine can not correctly detect
my current version of OpenGL 4.5, only as OpenGL 3.0.
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct3D] 
"DirectDrawRenderer"="opengl" 
"UseGLSL"="enabled" 
"MaxVersionGL"=dword:00040005

Start the game from Steam, "wine witcher3.exe" will not work (that's not a bug
in wine). Use "wine Steam.exe" and press play, or "wine witcher3.exe
steam_api64.dll".

The Wither 3 is DRM-free game. This game can starts without Steam.

It is. If you want to run it without Steam and overlay etc, then the working
directory must be correct, eg;
$ cd "your_prefix/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/The
Witcher 3/bin/x64"
$ wine witcher3.exe
Trying to run it from any other path results to the same terminal output you
attached.

Thank you so much! Your advice helped me a lot. Thanks to this, I was able to
launch the game! Now the game works! I am very happy!
