similar to: how to use directx10/11?

I'm an avid gamer, I play all kinds of games and a wide variety of specific titles, be they on the A-list or B-list. How realistic would it be for a person like me to rely solely on WINE for PC gaming? I understand that the pace with which WINE can catch up is relatively quick (a few months), but a few months is still a long time to wait if I'm itching to get started on a new release. I

In this forum post : http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=9260 , it has been suggested that we test DX10 games and that we report issues. However, with only about 5% of the entire implementation done, we can expect a lot of things to not work properly. Hence, I was wondering how would it be best to proceed with reporting. Is it recommended to test with winetricks d3dx10, or clean wine? What

The game isn't out for a few days yet, but people are salivating, see http://forums.macnn.com/77/gaming/422760/somebody-help-civ-5-in-crossover/

Hi First of all im not sure what info you might need in order to be able to help so please bear with me and ask for any info needed.. I'm trying to run BF3 in wine but when i try to start the game it gives me the below error: Code: err:module:import_dll Loading library d3d11.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\Games\\Battlefield3\\bf3.exe") failed (error c000007b).

After upgrade (wine 1.1.37>1.1.38, my distribution is ArchLinux) STALKER Call of Pripyat crashes after one minute playing. [neko at gdetotut ~]$ wine --version wine-1.1.38 [Crying or Very sad]

I found this searching the web and think it could be of some help in getting directx 10 games working. http://alkyproject.blogspot.com/ The project is dead but they are allowing the use of their source code.

Hi all I'm wondering if it would be possible to run Wine on Win64 ("x64") to allow Win16 apps to be run? Preferably a native 64-bit binary, using mostly native DLLs. (Services for Unix / Subsystem for Unix based Applications might help for getting Wine compiled) It might be a great way to get more users and developers for Wine. Regular Windows releases of the DirectX 10 DLL's

Hello. This thread is to help anyone having problems with using EPSXE psx emulator in WINE. EPSXE can work in WINE, only if you install directx in WINE. WINE alone does not have directx installed with it but EPSXE requires directx to function. You would need to install directx using any game which has "Install DirectX" or something similar. The redist packages for directx found online

Hi, I was playing around on my laptop last night and installed the 8.41.7drivers from ATi, my laptop has an X1400 in it, not the HD2400 that the drivers were designed for so I understand some things may not function correctly and will cover the observations: 1. Pixels shaders+Vertex shaders - I have to disable these or I get missing elements from the screen, once tunred off it all renders ok 2.

Hi All I'm new to this list. Would anyone kindly tell me what is the level of progress of Wine toward DX10 implementation?

When playing WoW through Wine (1.3.6) my video settings are limited because some of them require "2G or more CPU memory". Another computer in the house can play in Windows with those settings maxed out on a graphics card that only has 1G built in, so the setting doesn't mean graphics memory. My computer has 5G of ram (32 bit PAE kernel) so it's not that. So what is CPU

Hi, I am apprehensive about buying the Windows 7 for my new desktop PC ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ig_b41uOQCg ) and pay more than 100 euros for it. I don't have enough money before I get the student loans after New Year 2012, and I was wondering if I could get Linux somewhere today or before Christmas holidays. Before I decide, tell me, can I play any Win7 game I like on Linux, by

Oi. So. Now we have a version of windows that actually has legit uses for wine. Windows 7 can't run horrifyingly outdated 16bit programs(Such as Exile Escape from the Pit) period. Atleast so Ive herd--and tried and seen to seem to be true. Not to mention a multitude of programs that SHOULD run--but just dont like it(Worms Armageddon, for one... though dunno if it works on wine) Also.

I have just read from Phoronix that Gallium is going to support native directx on Linux. http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=mesa_gallium3d_d3d11&num=1 Is it really possible? Is this true?

I updated my distro from Fedora 10 to Fedora 11 yesterday. I did not update wine because the version it wants to use is 1.1.23 and I remember several posts of people having trouble with either .23 or .24. All of my games and office/work programs run fine through wine, but the wine cfg window will not start up. I get: ALSA lib seq_hw.c:457:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: No such

Advanced Diary (a simple calendar/journaling program)installed fine, but when I go to run it the splash screen for the program shows up then I get an error box that says: Error Creating Object. Please verify that Microsoft Data Access Components 2.1 or later have been properly installed. The program stops there. A google search turned up this a download page for MDAC 2.8 here:

Installed unity perfectly, no error whatsoever, although when i run it, whatever path i put in it to create a new project in, it says "Specified path is not valid(should be a name of non existing or empty directory). I also tested using Unity Loader, and it shows the splashscreen until it crashes Ubuntu. I'm using Ubuntu 10.10, Maverick Meerkat. I can run it fine on Windows 7, without

hello, I, too have a game that i would like to run that only takes directx 6.0. I've installed wine and started to run the installation program, but it as me for directx. I cannot find any place that will offer a free download of directx or a place that wont have it only for windows. I was wondering if you knew of someplace that would help me in any way. thank you.

NVidia is pushing a 200 dollar product which is nothing more than shutter glasses and ties into DirectX 10, encouraging people to move to Vista, which I personally believe is yet another nail in the coffen of closing the PC platform. Now I think a better idea would be to add a feature to wine that permits stereo imaging to be added to any program that makes use of 3D features in wine, to somehow
