After reading all this

I was finally encouraged to upgrade my system from 12.3 with i386-wine to 13.1 with wine. In order to test the procedure here described first, I installed a 13.1 test system in Virtualbox and it went all fine. I could even start a Kmquake2 game (which works fine as a test for wine), which is quite amazing, as I think you do not really get real hardware accelerated 3D in Virtualbox.
But after upgrading my system to 13.1 and also installing wine successfully there, it turns out that no game runs. They all report that there is no DirectX and Kmquake2 reports that it does not find any OpenGL renderer. And THAT seems to be the problem. I have an Nvidia Card, which runs with nvidia-driver-470. I remember that in the past, when installing i386-wine, a script (nvidia.sh?) was automatically triggered which installed some stuff for nvidia card users. It could also be started manually, I think it was in /usr/local/share/wine, but that script does not exist anymore:
Please help!

Solved - WINE on FreeBSD 13 - Am I Just Wasting My Time?
Well, since I am about to embark on this same adventure, I thank all of you for the information posted here. I am wondering if there might be an even more-informative thread here somewhere...like a "How to WINE FreeBSD 13.1-RELEASE" or similar? I, too, have tried to follow the Handbook in this...
