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.
