Ouch..... Linux doeesn't use directX as far as I know. It uses OpenGL so you may be screwed. Check out Wine's website or whatever emulator your using to see if they have directions on how to run that game.

I use wine, and i believe it can emulate the DirectX driver for you...
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It works on my machine...

Yeah it can. I just installed steam and it automatically downloaded directx from winehq.com.

So I assume you can find it there.
