a summarizing comment from reddit's discussion ( <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/1igw7r/direct3d_9_support_released_for_linux/" rel="nofollow">http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/1igw7r/direct3d_9_sup...</a> )<p>> "Its not been integrated into Mesa or Wine yet. It'll be 1yr+ til that happens and more until it feeds into Ubuntu and other distros. Even then, you'll only be able to play the game through WINE, since this allows native DirextX9c thru Wine, not magically making all games work in Linux. Before Wine has converted DirectX9c to OpenGL then to gpu drivers, which caused slow down and incompatibility issues, now its going to be Wine with DirectX9c native to gpu driver, which should reduce lag and incompatibility issues. Only opensource drives will get this benefit though, since this state tracker is just for gallium3D opensource drivers."
