DirectX nobara wine multiple installation (lemmy.world)

Hello, I just installed Nobara as I thought it would be easier to play on Linux I had a bit of experience with KDE and manage to get a system running OK. Though I have now an issue with wine. When I tried to start an application (the installation is done at this point) it ask to have DirectX installed to get it running. How do I get it installed ? Also I think I have multiple wine installations as, if I start it through heroic or steam it ask for DirectX and vcrun (visual C++ if I remember correctly) and if I start it through the file browser, it only ask for DirectX

Do you know how to solve those issues ? If I get more information or solve the issue I'll post a comment about it.

Have a pleasant day you all and take care !

Sounds like a problem I just had with a pirated game. In my case I was just trying to run the wrong exe file!

To install these dependencies you can use wine tricks to install dll to your prefix. But it'd help if you were more specific about the game

I'm pretty sure I ran the good exe file, the game is Still Wakes the Deep I'm not sure why it happened but the issue happened with kubuntu also I did found the vcrun and this issue disappeared, though for DirectX I don't know which DLL choose.

No way! I had the exactly same problem with the same game! (from Fitgirl) You're trying to launch the wrong exe friend. You need to select the Stillwakesthedeep.exe from Habitat/Binaries/Win64 folder.

OK I will try when I get time, I didn't download it from fitgirl though. I'll keep you in touch if I can get it working ! Thanks for your help :)
