I was trying to play Shank 2 using wine. Everything works fine except the cutscenes (which are the most major parts of this game). The cutscenes actually play (sound works fine) but the screen stays blank. I found files with .bik extension in data/movies folder of the game. Also, I found binkw32.dll in the root game folder. So, cutscenes should play fine. To make sure, I copied binkw32.dll in data/movies folder of the game and also to system32 and syswow64 folder of wine. Still the cutscenes stays blank.
Note: Last time I played this game was like 4 months ago in the same machine and same ubuntu installation and everything worked fine then (cutscenes too). But recently while I tried to play, I faced this problem. I even reinstalled Ubuntu 20.04 erasing everything just to play this game but still the problem is not stays! How can I solve this?
Game with cutscenes of *.bik extensions don't play in Ubuntu 20.04

Mine is a thinkpad with core i5 10 gen cpu and intel integrated gpu. I also tried playing the *.bik extension files of the game's data/movies folder by VLC media player. They play perfectly fine in VLC.
