You bought a game marked as "garbage" for Wine support in the Wine application database[0] without testing it? Sorry, but that's not my problem. If you want your games to work great in Linux, try buying games for Linux[1] If you want to run Windows games on a non-Windows OS, try games with a decent rating in the AppDB[2] Running games on the "wrong" OS isn't easy, and comes with no guarantees. It's amazing that any of them work at all.
