Galactic civilizations 3
Hi, I'm trying to get Galactic Civilizations 3 running using Heroic. A bunch of games work out the box for me, but not this one. I'm using Heroic 2.9.1 and Wine-lutris-GE-Proton8-12 on Linux Mint. When the game starts up I just get a white full screen and the graphic mouse pointer, then nothing, then the game closes. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you

Click to game settings page on Heroic
Click winetricks
Go like this in it:
- Default prefix->Install a dll or component->d3dcompiler43
This at first, if it doesn't work then d3dcompiler47

d3dx additionally as welldeep-jadeOP•2y ago
d3dcompiler didn't work, but then when I added d3dx that worked
I figured out from your instructions that you must have looked at the log and saw the d3dx errors and suggested I installed those runtimes. I didn't realize that installing runtimes seperately was a thing. There were a few different d3dx available (for different versions of DX) so I went with d3dx11 since that was what was in the log. I think there was a 42 and 43, and I just went ahead and installed both.
Thank you so much for your help. I've learned a lot.

Yep, looked into your log and saw d3dcompiler related spam
Yw 👍
It is not like we know what every game needs by heart 🐸
