I never got this with Mesa, so I assume it can be Nvidia bug.

That's exactly it yeah.

These are the only errors displayed at the time (besides the warning about the buffer pool). My assumption here would be that Nvidia just isn't failing gracefully.

Quoting: ziabiceRun the game and everything worked as expected: there where the graphical glitches from Wine-staging 2.10, but that was expected.

Honestly everything went buttersmooth, I'm impressed!

It's good that it worked, but you should really use 2.11, or build Wine from source otherwise (see howto on the AppDB page). sample_c_lz patch makes a huge difference.

Does 2.11-Staging include the sample_c_lz patch or does that still need manually building in?

I don't think that is AMD specific either, as I am getting something similar with my nvidia card:

Ah, thanks for the confirmation. Previous screenshots made it look like Nvidia didn't have this issue.

It includes that patch already. You can check it here: https://github.com/wine-compholio/wine-staging/commits/master

I've found at least an short term solution for the red/black-faces bug:

Open the user.settings file (in Documents/The Witcher 3) search the [Rendering] section and add MaxTextureSize=64. If this line already exists replace the number with 64.

I haven't tested this very deeply but it seems to work.

Edit: Double check if the line is really there sometimes the game resets it. And of course this "fix" makes the game uglier.

Only seems to affect the red/faces aspect of that bug, not the missing vegetation. But hopefully gives some insight as to the cause of the problem.

Doesn't appear to change anything for me. I did test against wine-git and the older sample hack, so maybe that's why (your linked patch didn't apply cleanly to staging, although that's probably not difficult to workaround).

I'll build Wine master shortly and will post some results.

I have to post a correction to my performance test. Somehow my game settings got messed up (I suppose after a crash), and they were reset from max settings. After correcting that, I'm still getting just around 40-45 fps, not 60 like last time.

And changing video settings while in game has no effect on that dark ground issue.

Just built Wine which includes that patch - the dark ground issue is still there.

I also added a bug report for the black/red textures and missing vegetation issue: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43264

That's probably the most annoying bug in there for me, though I am under the impression that things improved with the updated sample_c_lz patch.

One thing I noticed, though it may be pure coincidence: if the camera gets really close to a face, the textures look quite okay. Unfortunately I do not remember in which cutscene/conversation this was most evident.

Btw., did anyone check if the nvidia beta 384.47 blob does anything to improve things over earlier versions?

I noticed that Józef Kucia who did the major bulk of DX11 work in Wine didn't make any commits for a while already. I hope he is just on vacation, and didn't leave Codeweavers. Otherwise the progress will likely stall.
