Quoting: skyrrdOnly wined3d-buffer_create or are there any other important patches at the moment?

The other patch you can test is one that fixes distorted monsters, but it's not yet fully correct (causes freezes for Mesa).

See https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43872#c18

Nothing else is needed as far as I know.

QuoteYes I have the 64-bit dlls (xinput1_3.dll and xinput9_1_0_dll). This used to work with lutris but not if I launch the game from commandline. Actually xinput9_1_0.dll is not needed and doesn't make a difference. And the same xinput1_3.dll works fine with fallout 4.

you are right, xinput9_1_0.dll should not be needed.
just tried it with vanilla-wine 2.21, wine-staging-2.21 and my custom build 3.0-rc3 with wined3d-buffer_create patchset applied.

only with wine-staging I was able to start the game with overwritten dll

if you're patching wine by yourself, you may want give https://github.com/Tetralet/wine-xinput a try. works pretty good for me.

Working like a charm. Thanks ;-)

Does anyone know how to reset an AMD GPU through a kernel variable? I want to test if that can unfreeze the system if TW3 freezes it.

'rmmod' and 'modprobe' should do just that.

I've no idea whether you can force this though while it is in use by X.
Shmerl Jan 3, 2018
The whole point is to be able to do it without losing DE session.

I was experimenting with Ryzen CPU governors to see how it affects TW3 in Wine. Looks like performance one improves it a bit, but not much:

The change could be just an error margin of changing the camera view slightly, so it's not very conclusive.

That 15% could be because of camera view between two tests. I tried positioning them close, but they could still be a bit different. But I do expect performance governor to improve it somewhat, since the game is CPU bound.

I saw a similar effect here - it does improve performance a bit (~5fps).

Those of you on > 4 core systems try locking W3 down to 4 CPU's e.g.:
taskset -c 0-3 <wine cmd>

That gave me a marked increase in performance (~10fps)!
