Ok, so while the devel branch without winetricks didn't work and winetricks didn't work, going into winecfg after winetricks and the d3dx9 DLLs were installed and getting rid of all the library overrides at least let the program start. However, none of the actual rendering works. After a while the program crashes. Any other ideas on what could be breaking directx? It occurred to me to update the display drivers but I don't even know if device drivers are used in Wine. If it helps the following are my Card and display specs: Code: ATI Radeon HD 5870: Chipset Model: ATI Radeon HD 5870 Type: GPU Bus: PCIe Slot: Slot-1 PCIe Lane Width: x16 VRAM (Total): 1024 MB Vendor: ATI (0x1002) Device ID: 0x6898 Revision ID: 0x0000 ROM Revision: 113-C0780C-194 EFI Driver Version: 01.00.436 Displays: ASUS VH242H: Resolution: 1920 x 1080 @ 60 Hz Pixel Depth: 32-Bit Color (ARGB8888) Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes Rotation: Supported
