Summary: Heroes of Might and Magic 5 (full) requires d3dx9_25.dll Product: Wine Version: 0.9.44. Platform: PC-x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P4 Component: wine-directx AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: martyspamtrap@comcast.net
After a clean installation of Heroes 5 in Wine, attempting to run it fails. The console reports that d3dx9_25.dll is required by H5_Game.exe. My workaround is to either copy this file from a Windows installation, or copy Wine's d3dx8.dll.so to d3dx9_25.dll. Nasty hack, but it seems to work. I'd like to request an enhancement to include a more proper version of this DLL in Wine.
