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

You are right it's an DirectX issue and it's easy to fix. If you install the stand alone version you have to update DirectX. I had the same Problem under Windows. You can download the DirectX 9c Update here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=3b170b25-abab-4bc3-ae91-50ceb6d8fa8d

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

Greetings to all, I've installed Tomb Raider Underworld, but when I tried to play I got the following message: Code: "Tomb Raider: Underworld Error" "This game requires a DirectX9.0c capable graphics card. your card or driver does not support DirectX9.0c 3D Acceleration." I've winetricks installed and I installed: "d3dx9", "physx" and I still

I've tried to install the game "Caesar 3" on my Linux-box. It worked fine during the installation. The problem appeared when I wanted to play it. Caesar 3 needed the file DDRAW.DLL I found out that it was one of DirectX's .dll-files. Isn't Wine supposed to work with DirectX without installing it? Doesn't Wine have its own "DirectX-clone"? What should I

Hi, I'm trying to install the game "Aquanox" under Wine which needs DirectX 8.0. I've found a mail in the wine mailing list archive stating that wine already includes DirectX, but Aquanox keeps complaining about a missing d3d8.dll. Trying to install DirectX 8.0, I end up with "DirectX couldn't be installed on this computer". Any hints on this one? Sebastian --

Hi, Maybe you've talked about this many times before, but i've got a problem with DirectX. When i try to run any application that uses DirectX it just tells me that i don't have it installed on my system. The fact is that i do have it installed, and works fine in Windows ME, maybe the version is too recent? i'm using DirectX 7. My system is: Linux Redhat 6.2, Windows ME,

I DLed DirectX 9.0C redistributable and ran it with Wine. I didn't know it would want to know the directory to install to. Its obviously going to be in Wine's drive_c folder, but beyond that I have no idea. I was having some trouble with Winetricks installer so i thought manually would be easier. Anyone know where to install these files?

So I got wine working.... sort of. I was never able to run 'wineinstall' b/c if i try to run it under my ordinary login, it halts at 'config' and says I don't have permission, but if I log in as root, I can change directories to the /usr/src/wine/tools and I can see 'wineinstall' and 'config' as executable files (I even chmod a+x them to be sure) but when at:

I have Wine-20010112 in a RedHat7 box and I'm a butt newbie in wine. :) I've installed succesfully the game 'Shatered Galaxy' but the graphics are weird, it looks like a directx problem to me, so I tryed to install the latest DirectX 8 that I found in M$.com but it says something like 'This version of DirectX can't run in your Operating System'. Anyone knows a way

Hello, I have searched, read and tried everything I can think of, but without success. So I really need some help here. The application I am currently trying to use is PixPlant, but I have the same problems with other apps using directx or opengl (I am totally confused now) to display some content. PixPlant is a program for generating textures. It has an area in its main window where it displays

I have a couple of questions about Wine, just in an attempt to enhance my understanding of it: Is Wine writing its own implementation of DirectX, which sort of 'forwards' instructions to an equivilant in OpenGL? Is it possible to install the official MS DirectX under Wine? If not, why not? Thanks for any info :-)

When I'm trying to install DirectX, I get the following error at the beginning of installation process (after all confirmations): > A Cabinet file necessary for the installation cannot be trusted I have encountered this problem with multiple versions of wine and directx redistributables.

Some days ago I had installed wine 1.3.7 on Debian Stable "Lenny" AMD64. I could play DirectX games fine. Yesterday I installed Wine 1.3.11 on Debian Testing "Squeeze", and all DirectX apps crashed on startup. Then, I tested on Wine 1.1.4 and 1.2, but none made these apps work... Next, I tried on Wine 1.0, and worked! Also I tried under Wine 1.2 on Ubuntu 10.10, but

I used wine to install 3DSMax 7 in ubuntu. Unlike other versions, this one is known (http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=2588&iTestingId=45222) to run with wine. Even though the software indeed is starting and running, I'm facing trouble with directx and my ATI-graphics-card now: The viewports just don't refresh (see screenshot below). Changing to OpenGL

dear people, first of all I am a newbie when it comes to ubuntu, wine and everything, so this is a disclaimer in the very probable case that I ask a stupid question.
