Additional Comments

you have to disable music otherwise game will crash while loading the menu. i used the gothic gold version and the crack from gamecopyworld mentioned somewhere in the bugarea of gothic here at winehq

For working music, the following DLLs need an override with the "native" version (Microsoft's binaries):

• dmband.dll
• dmime.dll
• dmloader.dll
• dmstyle.dll
• dmsynth.dll
• dmusic.dll
• dmcompos.dll

The easiest way is to use winetricks:

$ wget http://winetricks.org/winetricks

$ sh winetricks directmusic

winetricks sets more DLL overrides than necessary. Remove the override for 'dsound', which would otherwise cause problems:

$ winecfg

When using SPINE to get HD textures and DirectX 11 rendering you might have to download SHW32.dll and vdfs32g.dll and copy them to C:\Windows\System32

Azerty layout has numbers accessible with the shift key so switching weapons was broken and there is nothing in the settings to change that.
The workaround was to switch to another layout using : setxkbmap us
Changing it in the Gnome 3.22 menu didn't work.

This is covered by bug #30984.
