Depends...can you reproduce it without dx9? Have you filed a bug for whatever bug dx9 is working around?
The game won't run at all without a native d3dx9_36.dll. It crashes complaining about "unimplemented function d3dx9_36.dll.D3DXCreateTextureFromFileInMemoryEx". Same as with bug 13150 and possibly bug 13605.
The regression test would be the most helpful information.
I was hoping to do it, but as I've been unable to reproduce the bug, I can't. I used a fresh install to a clean wineprefix, and then added winetricks directx9. Same result with both versions 1.0 and 1.1 of the game.
