That software requires the Windows Media Player explicitly.
It’s just that I also have a chess program app, ‘Peshka’, that doesn’t open completely, it breaks, and it’s not the program because on other systems with wine9.9, wine9.15 and 16 installed no problems have occurred – there were no problems on them with e-sword either.
*winetricks was the first thing I installed and winetricks -q wmp11 did not solve the issue.
The problem occurs only in this version of wine.
Thanks.

EDIT:
And to reconfirm to myself that it is this version of wine, I uninstalled > purged wine from the system and this time installed wine again from pacman like this:
$ sudo pacman -S wine wine-mono wine-gecko wine-mono wine-gecko winetricks
*The options in e-sword are frozen again and ‘Peshka’ is broken …
