Ran it through grep wincodecs | sort -u, since there were quite a few:

WINEDEBUG="-all,err+all,fixme+all,fixme-ntdll,fixme-class,fixme-msg,+d3dx,+tid,+loaddll,+fps"

OK, so we've got DDS support mostly implemented but this bug wasn't fixed with
it. Had just downloaded Napoleon: Total War demo from Steam and tested it with
Wine 1.5.5 + patch that implements D3DXSaveSurfaceToFileInMemory (attachment
#40281). Still there's no output at all (i.e. the only thing I've got is a
"black screen") unless I install native d3dx9_40.dll into the prefix.
Installing native d3dx9_36.dll doesn't fix the problem completely (i.e. using
Wine's bult-in forwarding from d3dx9_40 => d3dx9_36) - I've got starting
informational screen displayed correctly but then the game simply hangs
displaying nothing as soon as it progresses with its startup process up to the
point when it's going to playback intro video sequences.

Pretty strange things happen if I install both native d3dx9_40 and d3dx9_36,
start the game up at least once and then configure Wine to use built-in
d3dx9_40 in winecfg. Doing so results in game starting up successfully and
displaying everything as it should. In other words using built-in d3dx9_40 =>
native d3dx9_36 forwarding doesn't work until the game manages to successfully
start up at least once using native d3dx9_40, but as soon as it had managed to
successfully start up at least once - using aforementioned forwarding suddenly
begins to work without hangs.

Nevertheless, it seems that now the game chokes on non-implemented
D3DXCreateEffect* stuff - and that is bug #11675. I had captured relevant logs
from game running with built-in d3dx9_36 and d3dx9_40 with d3dx debugging
channel enabled. It might be reasonable to close this bug either as FIXED with
a note that next one to fix is bug #11675 or simply mark this one as a
duplicate of bug #11675.

Bug 11675 is related to d3dx9_36 and this one is related to d3dx9_40. So it is
not the same bug. This bug should be kept open then.

Steam has a demo:

current d3dx output is:

Matteo, this doesn't seem like bug 25857, but correct me if I'm wrong (or point
out which bug it is).

You're right, it complains about missing ASCII effects support. Bug 32124, bug
25017, bug 24931 and bug 28055 seem to be all about the same issue (although
the last one seems to also require other improvements to the HLSL compiler, so
that one is a bit different).

Elminage Gothic also needs native d3dx9 otherwise it crashes with

fixme:d3dx:D3DXCreateTextureFromFileInMemoryEx Texture creation failed.

in Wine 1.9.20-92-g1dedd90.

Installing d3dx9 via winetricks works around this problem for me.
