Is there a definitive way to make Witcher3 work with dxvk or what is the most safe bet?
I've been trying now with wine-staging 3.3 and 3.4 on a prefix with dxvk enabled (works fine with likes of Battlerite, osd, etc), alas Witcher always just gives me a blank black screen and gets stuck. :\

First of all, don't use staging. Secondly, nothing special is needed, just regular upstream Wine master (or latest release) and dxvk + Vulkan SDK. With new upcoming Wine patches, Vulkan SDK might be unnecessary. However some report, that they have problems with pre-compiled Wine in various distros.

So I recommend you to build Wine master from source, but make sure you have vulkan development package installed (when building Wine and dxvk too). In Debian it's libvulkan-dev. I suspect missing it can cause a problem.

I've tested TW3 with AMD Vega 56, but some above here succeeded with Nvidia too, so it should work across different cards.

Note, it happens during certain weather conditions, like cloudy day.

Shmerl, I played a while and had the same issues with the black faces. But it dont annoy me. Its not so obvious. The triangle exploded monsters are more annoying :P

With Wine 3.5, getting dxvk working is much easier: compile standard Wine > apply dxvk, no staging patches needed. Haven't followed Wine progress in a while (not sure if it worked as well with 3.3 and 3.4). :-)

In White Orchard area fps is mostly 30+ on my low budget system (1280x720 / Medium details).

It didn't need staging patches, but required installing Vulkan SDK. Now Wine ships its own minimalistic Vulkan loader, so Vulkan SDK can be skipped.

Does their loader give the same performance as the SDK method?
