I'm not sure that I understand your meaning, on any of your points.  I provided log evidence that the files do exist in the demonstrated location and you purport that they do not.  

Then you appear to tell me to load the dx dlls into the ?RIFT? directory?  That doesn't make any sense at all.

Ok that you suggest only to install one particular dx dll using winetricks, but multiple should not cause problems if only one is active.

Then you suggest to reinstall Rift, which smacks to me of "reinstall it and try again".  I would rather understand why this is not working and surgically repair it.
