Quoting: Avehicle7887I built normal Wine 3.1 last weekend without any patches, it provided same results as malek. GTX 1060 / 384.111 - 3fps max

That's expected without the buffers patch, but probably before it wasn't that bad. There is now some work going on with this in Wine master, so buffers patch is now somewhat incorrect.

QuoteWell, the wined3d_pool enum no longer exists in current Wine git, so any hack based on that will run into issues. If you want to do a hack, I'd suggest starting with not setting WINED3D_RESOURCE_ACCESS_CPU in d3d11's d3d_buffer_init(), unless "Usage" is D3D11_USAGE_STAGING, in which case you don't want WINED3D_RESOURCE_ACCESS_GPU. This is also an area that's currently seeing active development though; any hack is likely to get broken again relatively soon.

I applied that method above to Wine master, setting access mask WINED3D_RESOURCE_ACCESS_GPU | WINED3D_RESOURCE_ACCESS_MAP. Performance is pretty bad, just around 20fps instead of 40 like before.

No black screen or anything the like though, the game starts OK.

Just tried with official/white 3.2 build:
Same exception and black screen as with black build from master.
Official 3.1 works fine on the given wineprefix.

So probably something related to my system and some change in Wine introduced lately. :-(
When I have the time I will try on a fresh wineprefix.

Linux 4.15.3-041503-generic x86_64
NVIDIA GTX 1080 with driver version: 387.34
Ryzen 1700

I just tested with my old prefix. Wine-devel 3.2 and was able to get to in game just fine. Performance wasn't as good as with old staging versions but between 10-30fps depending on conditions. GPU utilization was quite low, 30~40% with GTX 1070, 384.111 driver.

Yes, vanilla is still sucking.

I don't think we need Wine staging for TW3 anymore.

You have to wait a little.

ninja edit, i see Your answer. :D

Yeah. I think the point is to make upstream Wine work well with TW3, applying only very minimal patches if needed. Not the full staging patchset.

That's how this pool hack used to work, until it became outdated.
