https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8563

--- Comment #44 from Anastasius Focht  ---
Hello joaopa,

Game complains with own error:
DDERR_SURFACENOTINVIDEOMEM

Could be worth testing the patch
https://github.com/wine-staging/wine-staging/blob/master/patches/ddraw-versi...

No, the patch doesn't help here.

--- snip ---
$ git reset --hard winehq/master 
HEAD is now at 381c4e7b66 user32: Fix some leaks on error path (Coverity).

$ git am ../staging-src/patches/ddraw-Device_Caps/*.patch
Applying: ddraw: Don't set HWTRANSFORMANDLIGHT flag on d3d7 RGB device.
Applying: ddraw: Set dwZBufferBitDepth in ddraw7_GetCaps.
Applying: ddraw: Set ddsOldCaps correctly in ddraw7_GetCaps.

$ git am ../staging-src/patches/ddraw-version-check/*.patch
Applying: ddraw: Return correct devices based off requested DirectX version.

This ticket has been abused for many different issues over 12 years resulting
in a meta-bug "make game X work" which is obviously bad practice.
