The good news is that the game no longer uses a separate exe when playing fmv's, they have now been converted to bink and play out of the box (both Nvidia and AMD gpu's). Widescreen/Ultrawide is supported (as shown above).
BloodRayne 2 Terminal Cut is also working fine. Apparently it's using a similar (or the same) engine as the first game, movies also work out of the box and like the first game it's based on DX8. Unfortunately the 2nd game doesn't scale well with ultrawide resolutions.

The games are both using DX8 but you can use dgVoodoo+DXVK to force Vulkan, more screenshots:

Getting it to run requires the following native overrides (32bit):
d3dx9_39.dll
xaudio2_2.dll
xactengine3_2.dll
x3daudio1_4.dll
quartz.dll
To get credits (duh) and intro fmv working you'll have to install: https://github.com/Nevcairiel/LAVFilters/releases
If you want to run custom resolutions go to your Wine prefix folder then "users/your_username/My Documents/Drakensang/profiles/defaults" and edit 'Width' and 'Height' from the 'profile.xml' file.

I'm surprised quartz and xaudio are still a mess, despite faudio effort.

Never played it before, but I'm a sucker for rpg's of this kind, and I couldn't pass up that discount. The game seems to have gotten good reviews at the time. Ironically it seems to run better in Wine than it does on Win10.
The Wine build I'm using was built with FAudio 20.10 on both 64 and 32bit.
I don't know much about The Dark Eye universe, the only other game I played was Blackguards (never finished).
Hopefully they'll release the 2010 prequel Drakensang - River of Time.

This game was a pain getting it to run, I discovered that the hard way before checking protondb, but eventually got it to work in plain Wine.
Requires the following stuff:
DotNetFX 2.0 (SP2 also good)
PhysX installation from game's folder.
Some DX9 overrides such as d3dcompiler_43 and d3dx9_43 as well as MDX (MS DirectX dll's)
I also had to override "nvapi" to disabled to get the game running.

yeah good adition to gog catalog, in my case stay in steam many years ago but also buy rayman raving rabbids (i have in steam some years ago), stranglehold (john woo), arkham asylum and arkham city
actually runs very well with d9vk aka dxvk and with lastest wine dont need .net framework for launcher (this work with mono in my case) but many recent launchers .net 4.0 dont work correctly with mono for now
