    Moon Base Alpha

    So I've successfully installed steam through wine and downloaded moon base alpha, but I am unable to play it. First error message consisted of missing .dll files which I dragged into the Win32 and Winow64 (probably spelt it wrong). The missing files were dwrite.dll, d3d10_1.dll, and d2d1.dll. Every time I click play it just stick on installing Microsoft Direct X. So I decided to check every box label microsoft direct x in the install windows component option. That still doesn't work, now I'm stuck forever installing this Microsoft Direct X. Can someone please help me

    4. Do not try and install DirectX - Wine already has its own implementation of DirectX, and attempting to install the Windows version might break some things. Cancel or skip the install if an application prompts you.
    Windows crossed the line first.
    It squeezed me, it hammered me to the point of desperation.
    And in my desperation I turned to an OS I didn't fully understand.
    With respect, sir, perhaps this is an OS that *you* don't fully understand.

    5. Reinstalling Wine won't help - Reinstalling the same Wine package in Synaptic or Software Center won't do anything - your virtual Windows drive and applications will be just the same unless you manually remove them. What you probably wanted to do is erase your fake Windows install entirely; to do this, you must remove (or rename) the hidden .wine folder in your home directory (view->show hidden files). This will erase all Windows applications you've installed with Wine and let you start fresh. Note that you'll still have (nonworking) start menu entries for the removed apps in Applications->Wine unless you first removed them with Wine's uninstaller.
