This is a generic directx failure message.

It could mean that directx is not installed correctly on wine, or that your video card / driver combination does not support the features required by the game.

I don't think you mentioned what video card / chip you have. Older Intel video won't work for sure, newer Intel is iffy I hear. I use a discrete Nvidia card with proprietary driver 310.44.

Do other directx games work for you on wine?

Laptop - I think we have had some issues getting laptops to work.

That said, you can check to make sure that any toggle is set to use your discrete video rather than onboard. Some laptops have an option to switch between them for power saving.

Next, CONTROL + ALT + T

type: nvidia-settings

enter...

...if the Nvidia X server settings box does not come up, you don't have the video card driver installed correctly.

If you are on a 64 bit OS you would need the correct 32 bit libraries installed as well. This occurs by selecting the option to install the 32 bit libraries during installation of the video card driver. It may occur automatically if you use the build-in additional drivers facility in distros such as Ubuntu.

You could try the ia32-libs package.

Finally, make sure you follow the steps in detail in the guide regarding installation of directx via winetricks in your POE prefix.

Any other recent directx games run on that playonlinux prefix?

What version of wine? 64 or 32 bit wine?

Playonlinux configuration / click POE prefix, whatever you named it../ Wine tab / click configure wine

What does it say on the Libraries tab in the existing overrides box?

Should say *d3dx9_36

Wrong version of directx.

Odds are that's your problem.

You can start fresh by moving the game folder out of your virtual drive directory and then just deleting the virtual drive and making a new one.
