One last note, the above is no longer necessary when you have WINE 3.20 or newer. The issue with the Windows XP mode has been fixed.
You could mention the variable WINEDEBUG, whens set to -all, will reduce log message and improve performance a bit. But it’s only recommended for when the game has been installed and run successfully (otherwise will you need it to find the cause of any remaining problems). I.e.: export WINEDEBUG=-all
