Installing Direct X 11 on Ubuntu 20.04

I'm trying to play Dragon Quest 11 on Ubuntu using Proton DB 5.13.6. The game keeps coming up saying Direct X 11 is required. I'm playing it on a Macbook Pro 2012 with the following specs:

Intel Core i5-3210M CPU @ 2.50GHz x 4

Intel HD Graphics 4000 (IVB GT2)

Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS

64-bit

I tried installing wine but it kept saying something about gecko, which I tried to research but didn't understand.

I found a post saying that I need a Vulkan drive, but that Vulkan doesn't run on a Macbook pro that so old. Is there anyway to install Direct X 11 or any work-arounds?

I'm not sure if Wine ever successfully supported DirectX 11. I think it was never finished. More recently people that have been using Vulkan are reporting even better framerates than using Wine's native DirectX 9. I don't recall the entire installation procedure. You will need to obtain the latest winetricks from GitHub, then:

chmod +x /path/winetricks
<optional> sudo ln -s /path/winetricks /usr/bin

And then:

WINEPREFIX=~/.wine_test64 WINEARCH=win64 winecfg
< the above will create your initial wine prefix >
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine_test64 WINEARCH=win64 winetricks
< pick "Select Default Wine Prefix" and pick "Install DLL's or Windows components", search for dxvulkan or dvkd3d >
< to avoid having to write all that big command everytime
you can simply rename ~/.wine_test64 to ~/.wine
and then you will be able to type only winetricks when needed.
That's the default location of wine. >

I never used Vulkan, but if I'm not mistaken you will also need to install the i386 versions of your graphics drivers, penGL libraries, Vulkan libraries, etc.

Verify which ones you are missing using these commands:

dpkg -l | grep glx
dpkg -l | grep gl1
dpkg -l | grep mesa
dpkg -l | grep vk < that's an L, not an I, it's for List >

He probably isn't here /usr/lib/. Like on my device.

Try PlayOnlinux. I haven't tried the games, but it seems to me that it has all the tools for this.
