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

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

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

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

  46      I'm not sure but look at the verbs in winetricks, there are
  47      comments about that:

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