Black game screen but HUD and health bars are OK

HI,

I've tried a couple of games so far:
Orcs Must Die 2 - perfect - no problems
Orcs Must Die 3 - Game launches and manus are all fine. However, when I start a level the sound is OK the HUD and health bars are visible but everything else is black.
Age of Empires 3 - Definitive Edition - Th game initially loads well and I can start a level but after switching back and forth to the home city a couple of times, I get the same black screen but the HUD and any visible health bars are all displayed OK.
I'm running Mac OS 12.6.6 on Intel i9 (late 2019 iMac 5K) with 128G RAM, and a bottle running Steam an dWindows 10 64bit compatibility.

I tried installing kitchen sink but that killed the bottle so I've had to start again from scratch. I've put all the latest DirectX files in that I could find for the CrossOVer installer.

Am I missing something ?
Has anyone else had a similar problem? If so, what worked for you?

Thanks,
