DirectX nobara wine multiple installation (lemmy.world)

Hello, I just installed Nobara as I thought it would be easier to play on Linux I had a bit of experience with KDE and manage to get a system running OK. Though I have now an issue with wine. When I tried to start an application (the installation is done at this point) it ask to have DirectX installed to get it running. How do I get it installed ? Also I think I have multiple wine installations as, if I start it through heroic or steam it ask for DirectX and vcrun (visual C++ if I remember correctly) and if I start it through the file browser, it only ask for DirectX

Do you know how to solve those issues ? If I get more information or solve the issue I'll post a comment about it.

Have a pleasant day you all and take care !

I'm pretty sure I ran the good exe file, the game is Still Wakes the Deep I'm not sure why it happened but the issue happened with kubuntu also I did found the vcrun and this issue disappeared, though for DirectX I don't know which DLL choose.

No way! I had the exactly same problem with the same game! (from Fitgirl) You're trying to launch the wrong exe friend. You need to select the Stillwakesthedeep.exe from Habitat/Binaries/Win64 folder.
