I have pretty similar problem:
I have installed World Of Tanks VIA PlayOnLinux. However I am not
able to the launch the game since this install and recieve the following
error when I try to.
"Application has failed to start because directx hardware acceleration is not available or is turned off."
Unfortunately described solution doesn't work for me.

Any ideas what might be wrong this time?
