Re: trouble working games on vbox
Most if not all Windows games require DirectX to work and VBox does not support that yet. So running Windows games in windows OS in VBox will not work. Using WineD3D is a program that is installed to emulate a windows environment and that is an issue you would need to take up with them.

Re: trouble working games on vbox
I think using Wine3D is Nonsense. For Games its better to use WINE directly.
