Can't install DirectX End-User Runtime.

Post by BubbaB11 »

So I'm trying to run a game on Wine, but evertime I try I get the error, "Could not intialize XAudio2. Please make sure the latest DirectX End-User Runtime is installed." So I go to Microsoft's website and download the latest DirectX End-User Runtime, but every time I try it displays, "An internal error occured." I'm really confused on what's going on and I really want to just play the game. Please help!

Thanks!

You probably don't need the whole directx, it isn't recommended anyway. If just xaudio is missing, "winetricks xact" should be enough, see http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?p=63485.

I am also attempting to install Cube World - the launcher works fine but I get the missing xAudio2 error when I try to run Cube.exe. Grrr!

I got so desperate as to use PlayonLinux to create new wineprefixes and then installed variations of the DirectX packages and anything with an x in front of the name lol. I got as far as using the launcher, updating the game, and clicking play. Then errors. In a month or so, it'll probably be playable. We just gotta wait.

BubbaB11, what game are you trying to play?

Did 'winetricks xact' help?

If you are trying to install Cube World, can I direct your attention to this forum thread:
http://cubeworldforum.org/topic/4215-po ... ine/page-5

About the same thing just on the forum for the game an with more progress being made.
