Trying to get unity games to play on linux peppermint 9 using wine.

keep getting this error.

Failed to initialize graphics.
Make sure you have DirectX 11 installed, have up to date
drivers for your graphics card and have not disabled
3D acceleration in display settings.
InitializeEngineGraphics failed

tried using playonlinux but gives the same error.

No problems playing unity games on windows 7 other than performance.

Using lutris and wine esync 3.14 i don't get the error message anymore but games won't open. Lutris says its playing and then says it closed right after. Using a linux port for house party does the same thing, no error but doesn't open.

I believe, that happens because in Wine, the required components (DLLs) are not very mature or production-ready. These are: DirectX 9, DirectX 10, DirectX 11, etc. There is a project called which could help, but it requires that your hardware (and OS) support Vulkan.
