HOWTO

Use a recent Wine, 1.1.39 works fine
Apply this hack* (made for 1.1.39) and compile Wine from source
Update WA to to the latest beta version (tested with 3.6.29.0)
Configure Wine to be in desktop mode with the desired resolution you want to play in (optional but recommended)
Remember to use GDI as the DirectDrawRenderer rather than OpenGL, otherwise you'll get the same black screen bug even with the patch:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct3D]
"DirectDrawRenderer"="gdi"

Some known problems:

When failing a mission or completing a ranked deathmatch game and returning to the menu you can't click on anything and hitting ESC will get you back to the main menu but the game will instantly crash.
If you run WA in real fullscreen with no wine desktop you need to ALT-TAB in each menu to get a focus.
