all of my games that i try to install all ask me ti install directx, so i am wondering do i need to set some of the dx .dll's to native in winecfg or just ignore the directx promptings. also how do you change a game to render with openGL instead of directx? -- "Black holes are where god divided by Zero." -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Even if you install DX only few files will really be used. And you don't need to override them Arthur Squassabia wrote:> also how do you change a game to render > with openGL instead of directx? >Ask on the game's support channel/forum/group/etc. This has nothing to do with Wine.

That way you will help catch any last minute issues.

They are asking for the old version of DX... even on windows. You can safely ignore that. HoMM 3 works fine here (even unpatched) with rc1+ But Civ3 still has problems....
