Additional Comments
Needs winetricks xact to start. With Ultra High settings I couldn't see underwater in the game, so I had to change the configuration like this as suggested on stackexchange: c:\Users\\Documents\My Games\Skyrim\SkyrimPrefs.ini [Imagespace] bDoDepthOfField=0 iRadialBlurLevel=0 Game hangs on exit and I usually run wineserver -k, otherwise runs well with a good framerate. (Intel i5, NVIDIA GTX650 with proprietary driver, 4GB RAM)

This method is experimental presently(see associated bugs), so try at your own behest.
Game getting stuck at load screen (Vivid Weathers ENB)
Game getting stuck after/during load screen, ingame music keeps running(Multiple ENB Presets)
There is a black overlay over characters and objects(Tetrachromatic ENB Ghost Preset)
Everything is black with only hud visible
Audio
To fix crackling and choppy sound with Pulseaudio:
Possible fix 0:
run in some terminal:while true; do pasuspender sleep 0.02; sleep 60; done
This finally prevents buffer underruns and the sound is perfect then.
Possible fix 1:
Make sure your realtime kit (rt-kit) is installed and functional so it can assign pulseaudio realtime priority. The kernel config CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED needs to be off for this (see here).
Possible fix 2:
Setting SndQueueMax to 15 (default is 10), see
here:
wiki.winehq.org/UsefulRegistryKeys
Possible fix 3:
Launch wine with an environment variable set:
PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=50 wine steam.exe
Underwater view
If you cannot see underwater (water is solid green):
Edit SkyrimPrefs.ini in your 'My Games\Skyrim' directory and in
the [Imagespace] section set bDoDepthOfField=0 and iRadialBlurLevel=0
This is a game bug, not a Wine issue!
Stuck at main screen
Some mods change the fonts in Skyrim and sometimes that ends in wine not showing up the menu of Skyrim. Simple fix is to remove fontconfig.txt in Data/Interface.
Crashes, texture bugs etc..Remember, this is a Bethesda game, a few bugs happen for Windows users too, so blaming wine might not be justified. Please leave comments and bug reports, especially if things that used to work suddenly break.
