It didn't work with the actual wine (04/2017) but with an old version (in my case to 1.7.17, just out of a mood) it worked fluently.

No, I didn't use any wineprefix.
I installed it via PoL (yeah, that was one of the reasons why I wanned to delete my poste on winehq), trying scripted and non-scripted ways, and the best I got was a black screen but with game sound and mouse klick feedback and everything (but sometimes it also crashed while installation). So I searched for solutions for hours and days. and then somehow, based on some recommendations from Anno1604 (wasn't it called like that? anyway), I came to the idea to try other wine versions. I chose 1.7.17 and it worked just fine. If I just had tried that while installing, I would have finished quite a few missions more by now!
Since you do have the only "support" for the gog version (my original Gold Edition ist recently out of reach), I thought I might be doing well in posting my experience here, assuming that it should be the same with direct wine installation.
What do you mean about the regression? how should I look into that and report it? Since it is an old game and not supportet under win10 either I shouldn't be surprised that some DLLs from actual wine versions might be different.

And, FYI, PlayOnLinux's "virtual drives" are just another word for wineprefixes.
