What works
Unable to launch game: launcher spamsfixme:dxgi:d3d11_swapchain_Present1 Ignored present parameters 0x60e8f4 and won't render
This worked in a previous version of Wine staging and broke down on upgrade to 6.9 (whatever binaries were on the server May 29, 2021)
Installer was not tested as it was already installed. No point testing the installer now; it won't change the rating to be anything other than garbage.
What does not
Everything
Workarounds
What was not tested
Actually playing the game. Couldn't get past the launcher
Hardware tested

If using custom gamma settings or using an application that automatically changes gamma (e.g. redshift) then at specific times, your gamma setting may reset for a short time.
To fix this, open the registry editor and navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/
Inside the newly created "X11 Driver" add the chain value "UseXVidMode" and set it to "N".
