Welcome to the wine wiki!

The patched wine allows to run any D3D9 applications with nearly no CPU overhead, which provides a smother gaming experience and increased FPS. To achieve a low CPU overhead a new library, called d3d9-nine.dll, talks directly to the graphics driver. You must "activate" that library to be used instead of the wine default d3d9.dll.

Requirements

  • A Gallium-based graphics driver (this means using Mesa, with llvmpipe, nouveau, r600, or radeonsi). The AMD and NVIDIA closed source drivers are not supported.
  • The Gallium nine state tracker (this means using Mesa), usually provided by mesa-libd3d / mesa.
  • A X11 compatible desktop environment
  • D3D9 applications, like Windows games
