PhysX (on-paper) should do nothing to benefit PoE. I don't believe PoE uses any NV-specific libraries nor PhysX, and the support for PhysX as I understand is limited and only available with Wine Staging.

Maybe it will help in the future, i was just trying out plugs in. If its not worse, its better type philosophy :)

Anyone know how to put in GC 100 for wine mac? I don't know what it is and what application I would use to enter the command. Thanks.

By the way, has anybody been able to get Offline SkillTree https://github.com/EmmittJ/PoESkillTree/releases/tag/2.4.1 to work on Wine?

Right-click on the Path of Exile application then "Show Package Contents". Double-click on Wineskin. In the "Configuration" tab you should see a text field "EXE Flags". That's where you should put "-gc 100". Just close the window to save the settings :)

What .NET framework dependency? I've never had to do anything with .NET and PoE on Wine, but if there really is a dependency, it could be possible Mono handles it.

Sorry, I think i got that wrong - they added a requirement for the msvc redistributable back then, iirc. That didn't work with the magic 1.7.27 version and it went downhill from there for me.

Is there any way to run the 64Bit/DX11 version on wine?

I doubt there ever will be a way for us Linux users to DX11 client.

Wine / Codeweavers is working on DX11. A few games (presumably simple) run on DX11 in wine. How long until it is fully working with POE? No idea.

Has any one had any luck with 2.5.0? The Wine prefix that worked just before the patched does not work after the patch. After PoE was patched the update manager crashes every time. It seems like the patch servers went down again though.

EDIT: Received another 35MB update and it's working again now.

BTW 64-bit client starts now, in DX9 mode obviously. Does anyone know what's the difference between DX9 and DX9Ex in the options?
