similar to: Who asking users to install native DirectX?

I've been working for a few hours to get RIFT running on my Mac Pro. I really don't want to have to get a full windows license to play the game so it seemed like a good alternative. So I pulled wine via macports (I did this today so I got wine-1.2.2). Then downloaded the game and got it patched (my wife has a Windows machine and a Rift account). This is where progress stopped. I find that

I'm studing wine for my thesis but I've an question: if I can use native dll for an application because are there many builtin dll in usr/lib/wine? I understand for system dll like kernel32.dll, user32.dll etc Thanks.

Hi Folks, I have been using Wine for some time now to run Team Fortress 2 (and other HL2 based games) on my Ubuntu system. I was previously running Ubuntu 7.10 with an Athlon64 3800+, a 7600GT (256MB of RAM), and 2GB of DDR2 333MHz. Recently I upgraded to Ubuntu 8.10 (i386) with an AthlonX2 64 6000+, an 8800GT (1GB of RAM) and 4GB of DDR 800MHz. I was really hoping for a nice performance bump

Hello all, Many games include a DirectX bundle in their installation setup, therefore the WINE DirectX implementation becomes overriden when we test games. However, not only this prevent the testing of WINE's DirectX implementation, the bundle they install is usually outdated. I was wondering therefore if preventing the DirectX install is possible, and if yes, would it be useful for WINE

I am trying to run a program called EWR 4.2 using wine, but it says to change my default language to English, can someone please help me and tell me how to do this?

This is not a fault or complaint, just a query for some information. 1. To play windows games in Wine, do I need to load directx, or is it handled by wine as a default? 2. I'm having problems in some games using the NVIDIA drivers (GF2 7186). For example 'Legion Arena' http://www.slitherine.com/games/legion_arena seems to get further with the open source 'nv' drivers as

I'm having problems compiling and linking a simple DirectX program with Wine. The problem is: a global variable c_dfDIMouse should be declared in dinput.h and defined in library dinput. c_dfDIMouse really is declared in dinput.h, but it seems that c_dfDIMouse is not declared in library dinput. During linking I get the error: undefined reference to `c_dfDIMouse'. Anyone got a clue? Thanks

I have a quick question - I have been starting to test if bugs are still in the current git of wine. When trying to test a DirectX bug I came across this weird behavior and I am trying to figure out why/if there is a problem or I'm doing something wrong/different. Here's the scenario: 1. Make and install current git of wine (did with 1.1.23-xxx and 1.1.24 and currently trying with

we often say here directx installation can break wine What about Dan kegel winetricks ? It is safe to install microsoft distribuable package or it may break wine ? What we can do, what we can't ? For exemple, when wine console tell us msvcr80.dll is missing, what is better or safer: - installing vcrun2005 via winetricks - copy the missing downloaded dll in system32 ? the both works for my

Hi, I came across a game demo, Shrek the third. The installation went almost smoothly, but the installation directory it went into was C:\Program Files\My Product Name instead of the suggested default: C:\Program Files\SHReK the THiRD The demo said it requires DirectX 9c and indeed it doesn't run because it needs d3dx9_32.dll. It seems Wine doesn't provide this DLL currently. Best

Here is my setup: Wine version 1.0.1 Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex x64 I have tried installing Call of Duty 4, since my friend has a copy and the app db says it works. However, during the installation, direct x fails to install. I downloaded direct x 9c and tried to install it, but it fails immediately. I have tried different programs over a period of about 9 months, and nothing will work. Is

Hi, I want to replace some of the builtin libraries of Wine with native ones to improve performance in some games. The wine documentation refers to a '~/.wine/config' that doesn't exist. From what I've gathered from this mailing list, I should simply move the native dlls I want into the fake c drive (.wine/drive_c/windows) and Wine will use them instead. Is this right or am I

Hi ! First of all I have to advise you that I don't speak english as well as I whish. So, be lenient. I installed Ubuntu 9.04 on my laptop one month ago. I didn't make any changes, I used it with default settings. I managed to install Football Manager Live (FML) and it worked perfectly ! I installed wine (by apt-get - didn't make any changes either) and then ran the setup.exe from

Hello all, is it possible to use the native Linux libraries instead of their Windows builds? This can be a newbie question. :) I have a database program based on PostgreSQL and I think that coyping the Windows libraries for the application to run is a bit luxury when the same but native libraries with the same functions already exist for Linux and they are already installed on my system. I

I've read that to get some apps working I could try coping files from native win to wine dir. It was said that some dlls do not work. I remember there was gdiplus, user32, kernel, and directx. I would like to know if there is exact list of dlls that are not going to work with wine. Or if there's script to copy dlls from native win install to wine dir.

Tron 2.0 starts up, offers the init menu, and works fine until you try and actually start the game. At that point, it goes blank for about 5 seconds and then says "To play tron 2.0, you need DirectX 9.0a and a supported video card with hardware TnL." If you go to the 'display' menu it says that the DX9 renderer is selected, but has nothing listed for resolutions or displays. Is

I have heard that there are some .dll files in wine that are faster than the ones in windows, i have a dual booting vista and ubuntu system, and i have a server that i'm looking to turn into a gaming pc, but i'm not going to buy another copy of windows, so i have installed ubuntu onto it, and am going to import the .dll files from windows, each and every one of them, but since there are
