.dll settings?

[Arthur Squassabia]

all of my games that i try to install all ask me ti install directx, so i am
wondering do i need to set some of the dx .dll's to native in winecfg or
just ignore the directx promptings. also how do you change a game to render
with openGL instead of directx?

What Wine version are you using? And what games are you talking about?

You can do either. Even if you install DX only few files will really be used. And you don't need to override them

also how do you change a game to render
with openGL instead of directx?

Ask on the game's support channel/forum/group/etc. This has nothing to do with Wine.

i'm using version 0.9.61 i dont want to use 1.0 until it's finished.
as for games, it's mainly heroes of might and magic III complete, and civ3,
i've had issues with others but i checked the appDB and they're not working
there either.

so it doesn't matter if dx is installed?

A version of directx is built into wine. Also wine will not work with
a fully native microsoft directx. Some of the .dlls can work but not
the whole package.

You better reconsider and use the latest available version. That way you will help catch any last minute issues.

Ah those old things. They are asking for the old version of DX... even on windows. You can safely ignore that.

HoMM 3 works fine here (even unpatched) with rc1+
But Civ3 still has problems....
