I did it, but it seems like nothing happened - the games run in the same manner, they still have the same graphical bugs. How can I checked if DirectX 9 have been installed correctly? The best way to broke everything your game/program can call native dll but generaly wine main program doesn't use it and use inclue dll ulberon wrote: > a consistent complaint about all the games under wine is that the CPU usage always shoots to 100% (and the same program doesn't experience this in Windows). So this means one of two things: 1) Spin locks (or polling with a loop, or something similar), 2) CPU intensive. Again, this is all subjective, but if the program is CPU intensive in linux and not in windows, I think some duties that are normally handled by the GPU are being handled by the CPU and I lack the information and experience to know implementation details of directx, I'm hoping someone else on the forums does... interesting but it's a limitation of directx implementation, wine, or xserver ?
