Okay, can you try to remove the winetricks/dxvk, and also system dxvk via sudo dnf remove wine-dxvk-* ? It should work then via wine's own d3d8, would it?

Hi, i removed the winetricks dxvk and also the system dxvk via sudo dnf remove wine-dxvk-* but the result is the same i am still getting the errors that i mentioned in my first message when i am trying to run the game in the terminal, installing dxvk with winetricks fixes the issue but why the wine-dxvk doesn't want to work with d3d8 games? And also shouldn't the game launch with wine's own wined3d or something? Weird. I also tried before reporting this bug removing wine via sudo dnf remove wine* + removing .wine folder in /home/user/ and then installing it again with sudo dnf install wine but that didn't fix the issue
Okay, I am moving it to wine component then, as d3d8 is reportedly broken on F43 without wine-dxvk-* packages installed :/
