How could I detect what prevent wine from running directX8?

Post by orleans »

I move my Computer from one (ubuntu 18.04) to another (ubuntu 18.10) and also copied .wine to this System
I would Like to run a Windows 98 Game which need DirectX8. On the new Computer I only get a message from the game that says "No direct3D device"

How could I get what is missing that Wine support DirectX8?

I did:

Code: Select all

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt install wine-stable

Did you install the 32bits packages for your graphics card?

If you did, start your game in a terminal. Often there are some hints in the output.
