wine users - Jun 2010 - Final Fantasy XIV Online Beta/Benchmark

Hi there

Square Enix' new MMORPG is nearing its release and there are alpha/beta
clients available. The beta does not work at all in wine, just weird network
connection errors when it trys to connect to their servers. The official
benchmark starts but 3D is not rendered, just a black screen.
This is the console output:

I had to winetricks d3dx9 otherwise it would not start at all and gives
"d3d: unimplemented function" errors.
Is this something that can be tweaked/fixed or no way to get the game working at
this time ?

Many thanks in advance

Instead of installing d3dx9 from winetricks you only need native d3dx9_36.dll or
w/e it is.

It renders black for a while, but if you let it run it starts to render in boat
scene. Tho poorly and slowly.

You can check my test results in AppDB.

Posting here about the diffrences with latest git.

It renders now far better than before, tho titlescreens flicker a bit.
There is no sound, and it still is really slow and takes a bit of time to start
render anything. Also it wont work without native d3dx9_36.dll

Great improvement!
