similar to: DirectX, I have to install that for DX games right?

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

Hi. I found out about Wine 2 days ago. So, my goal is to play Warcraft III through Garena with Wine on my Mac. I installed Garena, and it works ok so far. But I cant initialize Warcraft III, I get this message: "Warcraft was unable to initialize DirectX. Please ensure you have DirectX 8.1 or newer installed and that your display drivers are current." I already installed d3dx9 and

Huhu, I installed MS Freelancer via PlayOnLinux, but I have some graphics lags ingame/the game was redicoulus slow, I also wasn't really able to start a new game since the game hang up (kinda. It just didn't wanted to finish loading) One idea of me would be that it still runs in DX mode, how can I change it to OpenGL? On a side note, I have enough ressources to run the game at windows.

Well the title says it all Im having some trouble attempting to install Direct X 9 I know WINE does not support Direct X so I am using Winetricks in an attempt to install it. However, It is not working for me so I need someone to walk me through the installation of Direct X 9 and what you would do to complete the installation. If Someone helps me and I run into a problem, I will post it here

Hey guys I am new to wine and command line and I am fully self taught to this point. I am having trouble with my game Rift. I am using mac OSX 10.6 on macbook pro. I have already installed wine, macports, x11, xcode4, Microsoft fonts, xquartz.

Hello: I've been a user of Wine for quite some time, but have an issue that I cannot figure out. Hopefully it is somewhat simple. I'm trying to get some older kids games working (most of the games are dated around 2002 or so). I know they use some version of DirectX. They aren't even 3D, they are all 2D games. The issue is that some of them are really choppy, and the sound is

Hello all, I'm running WoW on Ubuntu 10.10 with the latest wine version as well as latest fglrx drivers. WoW runs quite well except that under the video settings, I can't turn the custom graphics settings to anything else than low. The reason in wow is: "Requires a shader model 3 capable graphics card" My card is an ATI HD5770 so I know it supports SM3. What am I supposed to

Hey! First of all, I am new to Wine, so your patience is appreciated. :D I am trying to play the game 911: First Responders on my Mac (the game requires Windows) using Wine and so far I am having no luck. The game does require DirectX to play and I was reading something that says that Wine comes with DirectX (or something like that, it didn't make much sense to me...). Anyway, I would

Ever since 1.1.27, I've been having problems with what I think is directx. I updated to 1.1.29 (I skipped .28) and I still get the same errors. I've tried using winetricks to install Directx9, but it doesn't do much to alleviate the problem. I've completely deleted my .wine folder and reinstalled 1.1.29 from scratch, but I still get the problem. I have the latest nVidia drivers

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

Correctly installed Marvel Ultimate Alliance, already present in appdb as gold. The installer complained that it could not install directx. As specified in appDB I added d3dx9_36.dll to system32. When I run the application it says: "DirectX9.0c is not installed on this computer. Install it and try again." I tried to play with libraries in winecfg but without luck. I'm currently using

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

I've been using Linux Ubuntu for a few days, but I already love it :) However, when I'm running windows games under wine, I get less than 10fps, while under windows they work really fast.
