Wine on linux mint broken/bugged

I've been trying to use wine to run p99, and I've come into two major technical issues, the games animations are completely broken (as in they are just static models moving around in-game) and if there is animation it's only the first few frames.
The second issue is i cannot scroll the mouse past a certain point (as in when i hold right click to move the camera, it stops as if the resolution is smaller than it actually is)
For context i am running the latest version of wine on the latest Linux mint version. here are some logs i got that might help diagnose the issue.

Code:

bumping this thread as i want to play but am unable. please help.

Not sure what to suggest, as I'm on Mint (MATE) and it just works. Maybe play with the os options in winetricks?

I have no idea what I'm talking about. Start here:
https://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=30705

As for the mouse issue, there is something about locking the FPS to 60. I eventually just accepted I had to play in windowed mode, and set the resolution to different values until I got something that worked for me. I have no idea how to actually fix it to play fullscreen.

Here is some of the research from the mouse troubleshooting I did:
https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...d.php?t=383287

For that first issue, did you try doing wine -force-d3d9 ... as they suggested? Although again, personally, I don't need that: I can just do "wine eqgame.exe patchme".

As for the mouse thing, I don't mess with full screen. If you just set your resolution to be your screen size, minus a little vertical space for your menu bar, you get the best of both worlds: a full-sized screen, but the ability to ALT + TAB or click out whenever you want.

forcing the dx9 argument with my launching .bat file (yes i use the batch on linux, i dunno enough about .sh files to get one properly working so bear with me) didn't fix the problem either. best way to describe the issue in detail more is that animations do not loop. they kind of just freeze (so when you're running around you kind of just slide.

BTW i can export logs, wine versions and neofetch if that helps.

Are you using the latest Nvidia drivers, or the open source ones?

I've seen this issue before but I can't recall the exact fix. That said, I did recently re-do my setup on Debian and its working fine.

Hopefully we can get you going with some more information. Can you post some of the following stuff?

Output of command "lspci -nnk"
Wine version
What dll overrides are configured, if any (this is in the winecfg menu)
In a terminal, cd to your P99 game folder, and truncate the dbg.txt file (cat /dev/null > Logs/dbg.txt), do a fresh start of P99 and load all the way into the world. Logout and post that file

using the latest AMD drivers. i don't use nvidia.
