wine-nine-standalone VS wine-wayland

[!->] 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.

here ya go https://github.com/varmd/wine-wayland/releases

something like this has been happening for a while so I expected that a launch option may be made https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/wine-wl-git https://github.com/varmd/wine-wayland/tree/master https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge\_requests/2712 https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/2275 and a couple of these merge requests are merged so I expected that maybe a launch option will be available

Already exists: https://github.com/varmd/wine-wayland

Check out this GitHub repo, it has some changes that make a good percent of games playable on wayland

Have y'all tried looking at the wine-wayland driver? I have no idea if it works, but I do know there is a difference between this driver and the official one frome Wine. Wine uses XWayland and might even be using X11 (which is possible through Crostini's X-forwarder).
