| 10 | Hi! I have league of legends all set up on my desktop pc,\r |
| 11 | running arch with proprietary nvidia drivers, and all I had to\r |
| 12 | run the game is winetricks d3dx9. Now I try to install it on\r |
| 13 | my arch laptop as well, but this time the game crashes when it\r |
| 14 | tries to run (the launcher works as intended tho). So I tried\r |
| 15 | a million thing to eventually find that winetricks directx9\r |
| 16 | works. Now the game runs surprisingly well for a 13" laptop\r |
| 17 | with only intel integrated graphics. So my question is: whats\r |
| 18 | the difference between the d3dx9 winetricks package and the\r |
| 19 | directx9 one? I noticed d3dx9 never spawns any ui, while the\r |
| 20 | directx9 package prompts an old looking install wizard. My\r |
| 21 | theory is that d3dx9 is just a part of the directx9 package,\r |
| 22 | tho I am quite confused as to why my tower needs only d3dx9\r |
| 23 | while the laptop needed another one. Thanks for any clue\r |

| 27 | DirectX is a collection of API, the most common being Direct3D\r |
| 28 | (for 3D graphics). D3DX is an extension (the "x" in the name)\r |
| 29 | library for Direct3D.\r |

| 36 | Both are using the exact same packages (pacman -S\r |
| 37 | wine-staging && pacman -S $(pactree -l wine-staging))\r |

| 41 | IIRC one of them installs a lot more ? I had a weird issue at\r |
| 42 | one point where I needed to install d3dx9 to play the Monkey\r |
| 43 | Island Special Editions.\r |

| 46 | I'm not sure but look at the verbs in winetricks, there are\r |

| 59 | Try sticking to d3dx9_36 if you need it. Otherwise, WINE's\r |
| 60 | builtin alternative should be fine. D3dx9 just extracks the\r |
| 61 | components needed from the directx9 installer. Directx9 installs\r |
| 62 | the whole thing, even the parts that tend to conflict with WINE.\r |
| 63 | The game on the intel laptop was probably trying to run a bit of\r |
| 64 | different code for the intel chipset, something that wasn't\r |
| 65 | properly handled by WINE's alternative.\r |
