If you are hit by bug #34052 (invisible character models), or flickering, set this key in the registry as a workaround (it happens on closed Nvidia driver, and to some on Mesa / Intel. It didn't happen to me with Mesa / radeonsi):
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct3D] CheckFloatConstants="enabled"
Another similar issue is bug #46553 when some textures turn black indoors. For now, install d3dx9_35 native override to work around that.

`winetricks -q ie6`
You need a 32-bit wineprefix for it to install, though.
