I really want to try around a bit in order to understand everything on my own and maybe be able in the future to help others. Or maybe you can tell me from my description already that it is hopeless. So before I try further endlessly I wanted to ask you to guide me in the right direction. The menu was in a very high fps but unfortunately the game could not start and hang. The best performance I got by using d9vk. I then tried newly created prefixes with different d3dx9_xx versions without success. The directx9 package in winetricks is deprecated so I used the “d3dx9” one.

What I tried so far: I installed vcrun2005 and the physix driver from the cd like recommended in the article in a new wineprefix. I tried to create everything like it is described in the article and I could make the game running but the framerate in the main menu is like 0.5 fps and in the game it is like 1 frame per 1 minute…

It is no more working on Win10 so I had to make a Win7 VM in order to be able to play it.

I tried to make a game work which I loved to play in the past. Hello, and let me first thank you for this great work! I recently transitioned to Linux (Manjaro) and I would have never thought that the Battlenet games work so smooth right out of the box.

Directx 9 install
