[Solved] Any ideas how to fix this DirectX9.0c error? (lemmy.ml)

The game is Juiced (2005)

I'm normally pretty good at getting old janky PC ports running but this ones stumped me after multiple attempts.

Tried running through Lutris, Bottles, Heroic and base system Wine. using many old and new versions of wine/proton.

DXVK, D3D, Different directx dependancies through winetricks and even tracking down an old Directx9c Windows installer and installing that in the prefix but even that didn't help.

FIX here: I needed to install dxdiag through winetricks, which revealed a memory error that was fixed by downloading the 1.01 patch from here. I also switched to Wine-GE 8.26, using Proton the game would crash after the first loading screen.

I'm still working out how to get my controller fully working but that's apparently an issue even on Windows sooo

~~I'm pretty sure there is directX 9 to directX 10-12 translation layer thing like DXVK, which can be loaded first to bring the direct x version up to one compatible with DXVK.

Just blanking on the name unfortunately.~~

EDIT: Nevermind, DXVK says it handles DX8-12. I was thinking of something that converted below DX8 up into one of the DXVK ones, sorry.
