--- Comment #1 from Andrew Millington andrew.millington@gmail.com 2011-02-22 22:18:08 CST --- Changed the summary due to a patch available for the full game that enables DirectX 8.0 game support. http://www.fileplanet.com/36575/0/0/0/section/Patches

--- Comment #2 from Andrew Millington andrew.millington@gmail.com 2011-02-23 00:35:36 CST --- Changing HKLM\Software\Microsoft\DirectX\ to 4.6.1.0 allows the demo to be played.

--- Comment #3 from Austin English austinenglish@gmail.com 2011-02-23 00:47:36 CST --- Does it work on native XP? May be a game bug (though XP may have it in its compatibility list)...

--- Comment #4 from Andrew Millington andrew.millington@gmail.com 2011-02-23 01:36:34 CST --- I found bug #7210 but then I cannot install it nor can I test if this one works in either native XP or in the compatibility list and assume that native does not work.
If I could install 3DMark®99 MAX Free Version from bug #7210 and try just changing the HKLM\Software\Microsoft\DirectX\ to 4.6.1.0. If that makes it run I would mark this as a duplicate of that bug and would ask for it to be reopened.

The demo does not work out of box on Windows 7, and none of the Windows compatibility versions allows the game to start, so I think the bug can be considered invalid.

Don't forget Wine is not Windows. It's not a buggy application just not very future proof, just like a game/app that needs Windows 98 and setting that in Winecfg is okay. But having DirectX 9 on the old and unsupported by Microsoft, is that okay?

Arguably, the demo's broken decoding of a DirectX version string from the registry, which might not even be the sanctioned method in the first place, is buggy. I feel that having compatibility knobs modeled on similar functionality on Windows is perfectly fine, but you can't have changes in Wine that totally contradict what Windows actually has/does.
That said, you're perfectly entitled to make whatever local changes you please to your Wine prefix. I just don't think it makes sense to change the DirectX registry version string in Wine contrary to what Windows ever had.

--- Comment #8 from Andrew Millington andrew.millington@gmail.com 2011-02-23 06:13:09 CST --- Before marking invalid is there a possibility for matching the DirectX version to an operating system version? All this games needs for it to work is a version string within the range of 4.06 and 4.07.

How would that work? DirectX 9 was supported for Windows 98 and DirectX 8 for Windows 95. If you want a workaround, perhaps a feature request to winetricks to fudge the DirectX version would be an easy alternative.

--- Comment #10 from Andrew Millington andrew.millington@gmail.com 2011-02-23 08:07:54 CST --- Someone else can improve this better than me.
Windows | DirectX 95 | 5.2 98 | 6.1a ME | 7.1 2000 | 8.1b XP | 9 Vista | 10 7 | 11
Name a game/app that would not run under any of these versions.

--- Comment #11 from Bruno Jesus 00cpxxx@gmail.com 2013-10-01 21:06:30 CDT --- Well, the issue is also present in XP. There is an easy workaround which is to change the registry (works on both XP and wine). One could argue this is WONTFIX but I think it's invalid because it happens in native too.
