Title: Hitman: Absolution
ziabice 1 Feb 2017
Anyone had luck running this game?

In this blog post from the WINE-Staging developers they state that the game works: [http://wine-staging.com/news/2017-01-25-blog-vulkan-dx11.html](http://wine-staging.com/news/2017-01-25-blog-vulkan-dx11.html)

So I tried to run the game, but it fails. I suspect that the culprit are my video drivers: I'm using Mesa 13.0.3 and radeonsi driver.

If you want to try, remember to create a 64bit WINE prefix, otherwise the game don't installs.

Yeah, it works. The performance isn't good. My advice
is to run wine tricks to install your dll's.

Via winetricks I already installed dx10, dx11, dx9 dlls and vcrun_2012 and vcrun_2013. But when I start the game it says I don't have support for DirectX 10.

I can confirm that I can play this with Manjaro + Wine 2.0 gaming-nine.
Game started with launcher when disabling CSMT. I only did the benchmarks, no matter was it maxed or default settings. The FPS was terrible(about 5-13FPS) and maxed settings + tesselation gives me black shaders/textures.
Tested with nvidia closed drivers. I'll wait that the Wine gets more improved and FPS will be smoother.

No one using radeonsi or AMDGPU-PRO drivers?

I'm using the proprietary drivers from nvidia.
Try running from the command line and looking
at the debug messages.

You could try importing this key. I swear by this.
It forces your dx user space dll's to native.

[reg file link](https://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?p=108912#p108912)

Make a back up of your key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\DllOverrides, before
importing.
