[!->] Native Direct3D 9 will be unavailable. For more information visit https://github.com/iXit/wine-nine-standalone [!->] err:d3d9nine:d3dadapter9_new Your display driver doesn't support native D3D9 adapters

It's still getting updates as of last month, so I'd say it is supported just not as frequently used as DXVK these days.

If you happen to be using a gallium driver galliumnine can be a more performant alternative to wined3d for dx9 titles. This has been beneficial for my old laptops with Sandybridge and Ivybridge graphics.

Looking into it further, I don't know if Gallium Nine would work with your Nvidia GPU, but it sounds like your CPU has integrated Intel HD 3000 graphics, which sound like they'll work with Gallium Nine Standalone. https://github.com/iXit/wine-nine-standalone

now for step two, for whatever reason winetricks mirrors are all down so i had to manually download latest gallium-nine, rename it to gallium-nine-standalone-.tar.gz and paste it on ~/.cache/winetricks/galliumnine/, very unnecessary but easier to use tbh.

One thing you could try is playing the Windows version with galliumnine (basically a native d3d9 implementation for gallium drivers). There's actually a way to get galliumnine working in standalone wine prefixes now rather than having to compile patched versions of wine. After you install both 32 bit and 64 bit libd3dadapter9-mesa libraries install this to the wine prefix. Unfortunately I don't have any terascale era hardware to try this with right now, but I can confirm it works pretty well with sandybridge graphics using crocus when I want to play WoW private servers on my laptop.

Get Librewolf from chaotic-aur https://aur.chaotic.cx/ and avoid building it entirely.

Chaotic-AUR (installed via pacman)

Some unofficial repos may be helpful, like Chaotic-AUR.

follow steps (only 4 steps) here: https://aur.chaotic.cx/

Just use chaotic-aur and whatever aur helper you already use. Then you’d only have to compile the more obscure packages.

The Chaotic-AUR is the GOAT. Follow the website's instructions to use it. It's like the AUR; but precompiled, so installing from it is much faster.

so i got it working, but instead of vanilla wine i use wine-tkg-staging-fsync-git, you can get by adding chaotic-aur well known pre-build binaries repo, use at your own risk but it's a very popular and well known repo.

Add the chaotic aur it'll save you a ton of time
