- The game Has sound-issues, though. Occasionally, the sound will "crash", and there will be a lot of noise for a while. This should be fixed. - IPX-play Just be careful with frame type and network number.
What does not
- Install the game Instead, install on nearest windows-machine. Update to 1.006. Apply no-cd patch. Copy RA2-directory to your linux-machine.
Workarounds

-- UPDATE -- Speed FixREGEDIT4
If the game does not run correctly after these changes, remove them.
Add the following lines to ra2.ini: [Video] VideoBackBuffer=no If the game does not run correctly after these changes,remove them. Network PlayIPX is tricky, and is fortunately no longer needed. Someone has written a patch to use TCP/IP instead.

Installed CD-ROM (pre-origin era) version of Red Alert 2 + Yuri's Revenge
As mentioned in the comments and how-to above, changed ddraw load order, downloaded and used ddwrapper, changed ra2.ini config, ran the program on exclusive 32-bit wine with Windows XP version. Still encountered the black screen bug or disappearing menus.
Finally downloaded launcher from cncnet.org/.
Ran it in the same 32-bit wine prefix that I installed the game into.
Pointed the directory of the game.
Launcher downloaded some files/fixes and installed into the directory.
[Note - requires winetricks (for noobs like me) to install microsoft XNA 4.0 framework, DirectX 9-11, dotNETFramework 4.5.]
Launched the newly available CnCNetYRLauncher.exe in the game directory from wine.
Everything worked as it should.
Tried campaign, single player skirmish with 4 other opponents. No slow-downs.
Hope this is helpful to someone

you may want to look at Bug33211 (see above),
in particular Post 11 (by meindertjan 2014-09-16).
Worked for me.
Wine doesn't shut down properly when exiting the game but whatever.
(dll-override--> "winecfg")
(Wine 1.6.2, Ubuntu 14.04LTS, ATI Radeon HD7730)
