If I remember it correctly, the Dodi repack just needs some audio library configured in the Wine instance via Winetricks as a built-in library.
If using Lutris, you need to enable logging for that game, then try and run it. After it fails to run, look at the log and near where it stops you’ll see it complain about failing to load a certain DLL (and after that lots of failing to load other DLLs as a consequence of failing to load that original DLL). Google the name of that DLL and you’ll find which library it is part of. From Lutris, run Wintricks for that game (it’s in a pull-down next to the “Start” button for the game) and under Winetricks “Libraries” add that library to that Wine instance as a built-in library (if that doesn’t work, download the DLL, put it in the game dir and try adding it as native).
If what you see in the logs is, instead of a “Couldn’t load DLL”, a “Couldn’t find function in DLL” what you have is not a missing library but instead a library version mismatch. Go to Winetricks an try to force the use of the native version of the library (sometimes the built-in version of a common DLL in Wine is the wrong version, and you need to force Wine to use the version of that DL that comes with the game, i.e. the “native” version).
If all that fails, Google that game’s name together with “Linux” to see if somebody else has figured it out.

This is my go-to for anything that doesn’t want to run:
github.com/…/wine-dependency-hell-solver
I’ve switched a few friends to Linux and whenever they have trouble running a game outside steam, I just send them this. Hasn’t failed yet. While I, like many other Linux users enjoy scrolling through logs: this is easier.

You are the real MVP. This is going to save me a lot of headaches!
