How to setup OpenMW for modern Morrowind on Linux / SteamOS and Steam Deck
How to install Hollow Knight: Silksong mods on Linux, SteamOS and Steam Deck
At the end of the installation it asked me to install directx with "dxwebsetup.exe" but the program found an error and stopped working, suggesting to see the log files.
I tried to install directx9 from winetricks but nothing: when I try to open the game nothing happen, only a bit of "loading cursor".
I use NVidia proprietary drivers.
I'll copy the logs files here.

I've found that running the necessary winetricks before installing a game that needs them works better than if you let the game try and install things on its own in some cases.
I tried to reinstall everything but the game didn't launch too... so I found this [tip on winehq](https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=23748) and installed physx but still nothing...
Reinstalling everything + physx and then reinstalling the game would help?
Many thanks!
