unable to launch games on ubuntu

when i try to launch a game, this error pops up:

Failed to initialize player

Details:

Failed to initialize graphics.

Make sure you have DirectX 11 installed, have up to date

drivers for your graphics card and have not disabled

3D acceleration in display settings.

InitializeEngineGraphics failed

EDIT: It's a new error because suddently my winetricks got deleted from my system and when I installed it again errors like this started happening the errors change sometimes depending on the game such as this message sometimes:

Win32 function failed: HRESULT: 0x887a0004

Call: at the line 245 in file \Graphics_DisplayM.cpp

EDIT: Here are the specs sorry for forgetting:

KDE Plasma: 5.27.12 ; KDE Frameworks: 5.115.0 ; Qt: 5.15.13 ; Kernel: 4.9.140-l4t (64 bits) ; X11 ; Processor: 4x ARM Cortex-A57 ; Memory: 3,9 Gib RAM ; Graphic: NVIDIA Tegra X1

Compiled version of Wine 10.15 is slow when running Command and Conquer Generals

When I compiled Wine 10.15 from source, Command and Conquer Generals runs very slow.

I chose to install Wine 10.15 because 10.15 is the version that can run most of my games and I chose to compile because I need 10.15 and can't afford to upgrade. If I chose to install from the package manager, I would eventually lose 10.15. Long story short anyway.

However, Command and Conquer Generals was slower than the one installed from the official repositories and I don't know why. I disabled libvulkan-dev (my system is a Linux Mint). I don't use Vulkan because my machine is a lower-end PC and will not be able to run well using it.

My machine is an AMD Phenom II X3 B75 with 4GB DDR3 RAM and my GNU/Linux distro is a Linux Mint 22.3 MATE.

I would benefit from some help.
