I have tried to install d3dx10 and d3dx11 witch apparently is directX 10 and 11,

but i still get this error:

0:1(10): error: GLSL 1.50 is not supported. Supported versions are: 1.10, 1.20, 1.30, 1.00 ES, and 3.00 ES

----- Initializing Sound System ------
Unknown command 'vid_restart'
Failed to create XAudio2 engine.  Try installing the latest DirectX.

Is there newere version or is there another way to make it work??

The game I am trying to run is Doom 3 BFG

I'm searching online and can't find anything that claims Doom 3 BFG requires Direct X 10 or Direct X 11
I know Doom 3 has OpenGL compatibility as well.
Have you tried playing it with Direct X 9 alone?

The best I can find is a native port on Github from RobertBeckebans:  RBDOOM-3-BFG

Yes I have tried with just Direct X 9 alone, it still gives me an error.

how do I run that one from github?

Its a bit complicated and requires compiling the Linux version and installing Doom 3 BFG in PlayOnLinux
