sorry it took long to get back... College has started up again. I already have the d3dx9 and the vcrun200x installed, if they are offending problems how do I remove them?

been four days, so sorry, to bump, but...
bump.
You can try with starting the game from a new wineprefix.
Easy way to start "fresh" is to rename your .wine (to .winebak or something), run winecfg, then copy/move ddo from .winebak to .wine
When you have it set up its a good idea to rename it again and use WINEPREFIX to run it, to keep it separate from any other things you run with wine.
As of wine 1.3.37 I don't think any native .dlls or settings are required.
so IF I did this right, I did a "mv .wine/ winebak" then mv winebak/c_drive/Program\ Files/DDO/ ./wine/c_drive/Program| Files/" and reinstall the pylotro.exe, retrain it, then I should be good to go?
cause I tried it, it didn't work, same problem
check:
working opengl setup (numerous guides on web)
wine --version is 1.3.37 or newer (there is a ppa available at www.winehq.org)
ddo client updated (do update from menu in pylotro, ddo will stop at loading screen if wrong client version)
Also might be worth deleting /home/you/Dungeons and Dragons Online/userpreferences.ini
ok I went to
http://www.opengl.org/wiki/Getting_started#Linux
and took a look, it in turn sent me to
http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html
if I am understanding this correctly it is either asking met o install new video drivers or new extensions for my current drivers. In either case what are the chances it will make my graphics system unstable? Or am I misreading what I am looking at?
and I am using the latest wine (1.3.37) and the current pylotro. If it matters, I installed the windows exe one as opposed to the linux one in an attempt to keep my Linux and my Windows apps completely separate. I was under the impression from the how-to guide on the pylotro site it doesn't matter, but that information could be old.

wine pylotro should be fine.
Regarding drivers, the situation is that there are 2 options currently:
open source but lacking features: nouveau
closed but full featured: nvidia
Odds are you need the nvidia driver for ddo.
You can get both through ubuntus package system, theres also a special (don't ask me why) program for "activating" closed drivers (called additional hardware or close in your menu).
Theres a massive amount of information on this with some googling.
I am using the nvidia drivers. why is it not recognizing my my direct3d, it shows up in the wine registry, These are my settings, is THIS the problem?
Code:REGEDIT4 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct3D] "DirectDrawRenderer"="OpenGL" "Multisampling"="disabled" "OffscreenRenderingMode"="fbo" "RenderTargetLockMode"="readdraw" "UseGLSL"="disabled" "VideoMemorySize"="256"
None of those settings should stop it from running, however they should not be needed either. The Direct3D key is empty in a clean .wine and that should be your start point.
From a clean .wine created by winecfg, no installs or settings should be needed except the game itself, ie don't install directx or anything.
