wine directx9 issues

Hello, guys.
Some games that other people run just fine on my pc won't run.
The latest problem - problem with Heroes of might and magic 5. When I try to run the game I get wine
popup window with message: "error failed to initialize direct3d9". I tried clean wine installation because
I thought maybe other programs thrashed my bottle but it did not help.
And this:

There is a similar problem in discussed in appdb but they did not find solution.
So I'm asking if there is a way to configure wine directx capabilities?
I know that wine supports directx7 and I'm fine with it, I don't want to install 9c
because I had similar problem with Call of duty 2 and installation of directx did
not solve anything.

som additional info:
Wine version: wine-1.1.2
Videocard: Nvidia Geforce 6600GT
Videocard Driver version: 173.14.09-4

Thanks,
Any suggestions are appreciated.

Re: wine directx9 issues

Did you check wine's appdb?
There are several howtos....
Also a wine specific problem is more lickely to be answered at appdb than here... The maintainers probably know better.
And also by clean wine installation you mean new .wine directory?

Yes.
I checked appdb and they do not know anything about this certain issue.

I also tried to run in wine 0.9.50 and got:

err:module:import_dll Library d3dx9_25.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\Heroes5\\Heroes of Might and Magic V - Tribes of the East\\bin\\H5_Game.exe") not found
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\\Heroes5\\Heroes of Might and Magic V - Tribes of the East\\bin\\H5_Game.exe" failed, status c0000135

Re: wine directx9 issues

Have you tried putting d3dx9_25.dll in the game's directory and telling winecfg to use Native for that library?

I had to do that too for a few games. (but 33/36.dll)

I don't know if it will take a newer version, but you could find the file by cabextracting stuff in an unarchived directx9 setup file.

Re: wine directx9 issues

I installed directx(the version provided by playonlinux) and the game started.
I noticed new dlls appeared in system32 and among them d3dx9_25.dll.
Though I did not configure it as native. And judging from graphics quality it is still directx 7.
Thanks.
