Suddenly lost GPU drivers? (Wine says DirectX 11 missing) (lemmy.sdf.org)

I often play Hearthstone on my old HP EliteBook Folio 9470m with Intel integrated graphics. Suddenly today when I try to run Hearthstone I get the error:

Failed to initialize driver

GLContext: failed to create context: Success.

GLContext: failed to register master context class: Success.

Failed to initialize graphics. Make sure you have DirectX 11 installed, have up to date drivers for your graphics card and have not disabled 3D acceleration in display settings. InitializeEngineGraphics failed

I figured that something must have gone wrong with my GPU drivers, so I tried updating to the latest Mesa drivers but that didn't fix it. Also tried updating Wine version from lutris-GE-Proton8-8-x86_64 to lutris-GE-Proton8-10-x86_64 but that didn't help either.

Is anyone else having similar issues? Any ideas for how to fix it?

I ran into the same problem with Steam today, and your post caught my attention.

I had been playing Carcassonne without any issues when I tried to launch it today and began receiving DirectX errors. Trying different Proton versions didn’t work for me either.

I’m running an i7 11th gen on openSUSE with a GeForce RTX 3050 with similar errors to yours.
