Thief: Definitive edition launch failure

Already solved this problem, but wanted to leave it here for others, that might need it. In short, i installed Thief: Definitive edition from GoG and when trying to launch, it crashes after few seconds in a black screen, before the video. After some trial and error and some googling around, i downloaded 'd3dcompiler_43' file and copied it to '~/Heroic/Thief/Binaries2/Win64/' directory. Apparently you can also install it easily with winetricks.

Not relevant to your issue/the solution, but why do you have this set? You really shouldn't use WineD3D unless you have a reason to
