Great to see Just Cause 2 starting to semi-work. I'd like to play that one again in my Steam library.
Now the real test will be Grand Theft Auto 5. That is a DirectX 10 game as well.

I can tell you that Metro 2033 and Metro 2033 Redux is not exactly the same game. I played both; the original on my win XP machine and the Redux on SteamOS 1.0... I hate Deepsilver for not porting the original Metro 2033 to linux like they did with the original Metro: Last Light
I don't like the Redux because the achievements are broken, the Vsync doesn't work and the antialiasing sucks... In the linux version of the original Metro: Last light those bugs are not present...
Now that I have Crossover, first I'm gonna try Tomb Raider, and after, Metro 2033.

Nice too see all these d3dx10 improvements! I also own Just Cause 2 and can't wait to play it!
The original Metro should work fine, but check the Wine apps database because it probably needs some tweaks
Tomb raider works super fine with Wine!

But your cpu is too weak* (for DX10 needs more cpu)
*Same case as life is strange native where you cant run game (weak cpu)
Maybe could try upgrade your cpu (intel haswell at 4ghz or upper is highly recommended) or wait next year for zen

I just did what I said in another gamingonlinux post
Right now I am downloading Tomb Raider in the windows version of the Steam client that running on Ubuntu 14.04.3 through Crossover 15.2
I will report the results on Twitter and here.

Tried to run LOTRO recently under 1.9.13, it "detected" I have DirectX11 and offered to run it instead. Loading screen worked, but everything went black after that.

Disable d3d11.dll in the Wine config screen and the game should fall back to DX9 or DX10 mode :)

As I said it offered to run it under DX11 :) I just choose no and it runs on DX9 very well. LOTRO is one of few games I have seen very few if any glitches under Wine. And it is awesome MMO too.

I installed the Windows version of Tomb Raider on Ubuntu 14.04.3 through Crossover 15.2...
While it runs with more FPS than the Feral version, I have the screen filled with a lot of graphical artifacts; macroblocks for to be specific... The more powerfull the card is, the more macroblocks I have.. Is that a driver issue? I know there is a REGistry key that solves the problem (StrictDrawOrdering-»enabled) , but the performance goes down by a lot.
