I can't believe it's simpler to run old Windows games on Wine (without any tweaks) than on actual Windows
I am definitely biased, as one of the games I originally had these issues with was Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun. I don't know when the people behind CnCNet decided to fork the repository for this DirectDraw compatibility layer, but is forked from the at least 12 years old (!) https://github.com/mvdhout1992/cnc-ddraw and https://github.com/hifi/cnc-ddraw.

Tiberium Sun broken?
Get CnC-DDRAW, extract the .dll, paste it on your SUN folder and it should take care of the rest.

Command & Conquer - The First Decade
And now the tricky part... and the reason why I was not able to run both RA2 and TS... You need a library called cnc-ddraw ( Releases ยท FunkyFr3sh/cnc-ddraw (github.com) ) which fixes a lot of things for old games. When using windows you need to copy the ddraw.dll and ddraw.ini files from the zip and you are done but when using wine/proton you need a simple launch option to load the custom dll file instead of the protons builtin ddraw. Thanks to u/RoweenX4 and some google-fu.
