Howdy folks, The implementation of DirectX 9 in Wine has gone much forward, to the point where most of the lacking functions in the helper dlls are in a single dll : d3dx9_36. It is becoming much less necessary to run winetricks d3dx9. At the moment I am in the process of testing all the game apps I have (around 100) without any overrides. I am looking in particular at d3dx9_36 and msvcrt. At least 50 of them are DX9 or better apps. My procedure is to copy the game contents to my HDD, delete any override install program that could be included with the game (vcredist, directx, etc..), and installing only the required software which has not been implemented yet or ever will (eg. PhysX, GFW). My tests results so far with d3dx9_36 have been varied. Sometimes I get an easy log with a missing function (eg. http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24530), but most of the time I get a humongous log with a load of stubbed functions which is most likely unpractical for devs. There is also an extensive list of bugs related to this particular dll : http://bugs.winehq.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=d3dx9_36 I was wondering if a dev or an experienced user could recommend me a method for bug reporting about this dll which is practical for devs, in particular when I test apps which yield a humongous log. I technically can fill a bunch of reports like this one : http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24884 , but I don't feel that it's very practical because there is little information available. Cheers!
