Ok, looks like it's something Mesa only like the last freeze. On Nvidia drivers everything seems to work fine.

Tried to look around for the previously invisible models and everything seemed to work. Not sure if placebo or even gained some FPS too.

This is my Vega56 shot:

Funny same fps as you Shmerl but my card is only 70% loaded but at full clock with full energy target - 150W (powersafe bios).

Sounds like the issue is with some CPU bottleneck then. You can see some cores used fully.

Yes, I think so too. More than 3,8GHz per core is not possible with my Ryzen. All in all it runs fine now. Some invisible monsters and some missing textures in cutscenes. Not too bad :) I like to play TW3 under wine :)

That's because you didn't apply patches to avoid the freeze or it's a separate problem with cutscenes?

I tested the futex patch by Sebastian Lackner (it needed a couple of tweaks to compile):

Loop:


Futex:


It doesn't seem to have a noticeable impact on FPS (possibly even decreasing it a bit), but it reduces CPU utilization. Strangely, GPU utilization is decreased somewhat too.

I use Wine 2.21 with three staging patches and the patch against invisible surfaces near underground areas. I dont use the patch against invisible enemies to avoid freezes. I had two cases with missing textures in cutscenes until now and I get rarely invisible enemies so its better for me to avoid the freezes.

Nice, hopefully there will be a 'fix' for the nvidia performance as well at somepoint. Though Im not familiar enough with it all to debug myself.

Looks like it's coming after all:
