Deathly Karma

Even after installing vcrun 2017 via Winetricks, it will load a small white window and then crash instantly. If I don't use Wine D3D11 the game says my GPU doesn't support DirectX 11, which it definitely does, and doesn't open fullstop.
It runs perfectly, the only issue is when you first start the game, you have to minimise the game and then only select the set-up window, then you can choose your settings, click ok, and then you click on the main window again and it starts the game. This effects all of Core Design Tomb Raiders (except AOD) and the black window at the start shouldn't actually be there.
Apart from the start up screen which you have to minimise, there's a couple of major issues. Firstly, FMV's don't work, (Tomb Raider 1-3 FMV's work but not 4-5). Secondly, Lighting is broken and the game shouldn't be played in this state. Curiously, every other Tomb Raider game's lighting works perfectly, (Tomb Raider 1 - 2013) except this one.
This would be borderline Platinum but there's a major issue with this game. The mouse constantly freezes every 2 seconds. 4.2.4 it was even worse, 4.2.5 has slightly fixed it and at times will perform normally and it's playable but most times it's horribly laggy which freezes the game. Controller works 100% fine and causes no issues, if you play with the controller it's Platinum.
Also, the Brightness and Contrast meters don't actually do anything in Linux, when they do in Windows. Other games under Proton can change the brightness/contrast fine so it's just this game and Tomb Raider Legend + Underworld.
