[SOLVED] Wine unable to install directx 11

Hi, so I've been trying to install and run rabbids coding on wine (yes I know, I play these types of games). And it gave me an error about directx 11 not installed.So I went ahead and tried to install d3dx11_43 using winetricks. But one of the "cabextract" commands returned an error value. It was:

Note: command cabextract -q -d /home/arashk/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/syswow64 -L -F d3dx11_43.dll /home/arashk/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/temp/*.cab returned status 1. Aborting.

The line before that was interesting:

/home/arashk/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/temp/*.cab: No such file or directory

Also /home/arashk/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/temp is empty if you're wondering. I tried running it on a clean 32 bit bottle but same result. I have wine 5.19, 64 bit bottle. Any effort at helping is appreciated.

What's your graphics card? If you have one that has vulkan support you will want to setup dxvk for d3d11 support: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dxvk-bin/

I have an Nvidia geforce 840m. Sorry I don't remember the codename.

Edit: thank! DXVK did the job!
