[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

Sorry I can’t give any specific advice but I feel your pain. Some of my favorite PC games are from the early 00s and I have found that they are particularly hard to get running on modern systems.

Lutris is the one I have had the most luck with, but it’s a very slow game-by-game process of trial and error.

I hope you figure it out!
