Is anyone able to run BG1 Original Saga version on Mac OS 10.13.3 (High Sierra)?

After instaling (either from download or GOG Galaxy), when I launch the game, Wineskin starts and I see a game icon, but the game doesn't create a window.
I believe there was a problem similar to yours here:

The OP however, had the Polish version of the game though.

I'm having the same/similar issue. High Sierra, 10.13.3, just downloaded BG1 (complete edition) and I try to start it after installing and the icon shows up but just sits there and does nothing.

Any solutions or pointings in the right direction would be much appreciated.

Edit: from the above link:
From application directory, right click Baldur's Gate The Original Saga.app and select show package contents
Contents -> Resources -> game
right click Baldurs Gate 1.app and select show package contents
double click Wineskin.app
'set screen options'

from another thread I saw somewhere:
Uncheck 'Auto Detect GPU info for Direct3D'

This seems to work and I at least get the intro screens but still trying to figure out how to run it in windowed mode. Not sure if this is the best solution or not.
