err:module:import_dll Library d3dx9_43.dll

[questor21]

I am getting this error when trying to play Rift, which is odd I think because I can play WoW just fine.

I installed DirectX9 and 10 via winetricks, but still I get this error.

Code: Select all

err:module:import_dll Library d3dx9_43.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\Program Files\\RIFT Game\\RIFT Game\\rift.exe") not found
err:module:import_dll Library d3dx9_43.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\Program Files\\RIFT Game\\RIFT Game\\rift.exe") not found
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\\Program Files\\RIFT Game\\RIFT Game\\rift.exe" failed, status c0000135

Clearly though these dlls are in the wine system32 directory:

Code: Select all

~/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/system32$ ls d3*
d3d10core.dll       d3dcompiler_34.dll  d3dcompiler_39.dll  d3dx10_33.dll  d3dx10_38.dll  d3dx10.dll    d3dx9_28.dll  d3dx9_33.dll  d3dx9_38.dll  d3dxof.dll
d3d10.dll           d3dcompiler_35.dll  d3dcompiler_40.dll  d3dx10_34.dll  d3dx10_39.dll  d3dx9_24.dll  d3dx9_29.dll  d3dx9_34.dll  d3dx9_39.dll

d3dcompiler_33.dll  d3dcompiler_38.dll  d3drm.dll           d3dx10_37.dll  d3dx10_42.dll  d3dx9_27.dll  d3dx9_32.dll  d3dx9_37.dll  d3dx9_42.dll

if I run "wine regedit" I can see the DirectX keys... but oddly DirectX is entirely absent from .wine/system.reg

Here's the only mention of directx in the system.reg:

~/.wine$ grep -i directx system.reg
@="DirectX File"
[Software\\Microsoft\\DirectX] 1284417788

Any ideas?

Clearly though these dlls are in the wine system32 directory:

Gee, a simple search shows they ARE NOT there.

Plus, these should be loaded into the same directory as your program.

Now, go back, either delete or remove your installation of Rift.

Then use winetricks to install ONLY d3dx9_43, then install Rift.

This should allow Rift to run. WoW may or may not work with native
d3dx9_43 installed.

I'm not sure that I understand your meaning, on any of your points. I provided log evidence that the files do exist in the demonstrated location and you purport that they do not.

Then you appear to tell me to load the dx dlls into the ?RIFT? directory? That doesn't make any sense at all.

Ok that you suggest only to install one particular dx dll using winetricks, but multiple should not cause problems if only one is active.

Then you suggest to reinstall Rift, which smacks to me of "reinstall it and try again". I would rather understand why this is not working and surgically repair it.

This wineprefix can't be supported. Remove ~/.wine directory and reinstall your game. DO NOT use winetricks unless explicitly told to do so.

Wine has it's own d3dx9_43.dll. You should be using that first time around. And make sure you have latest Wine version (wine-1.3.15).

Why is ~/.wine not supported? That is the most appropriate place for an application like this, in a user's home directory. I will not delete ~/.wine, I have other applications installed into wine which are working and I will not interrupt them for a game like Rift.

I attempted to use any native directx with Rift in the first place but I got the same problem - Rift does not detect directx. I then tried winetricks after researching for myself on the web how people have gotten Rift working.

I am not using the most current wine. I am using 1.2.2. I may upgrade wine.

I had hoped for some diagnostic suggestions followed up with more targeted advice.

Because you used winetricks without us telling you to do so.

will not delete ~/.wine,

Then conversation is over. Topic closed.
