This describes the stutter. It eventually goes away. Mesa 17.04 from https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/che/mesa/

That's behind. Try latest stable release (17.3.3) or build Mesa master to begin with to run the game with it. See a tutorial here for Debian, how to use Mesa master without replacing system Mesa:

You can adjust to your distro, idea can be the same.

Er, I meant 17.4.

Hm. That should include Mesa shader caching already. Not much can be done about it then it seems. I think Wine developers were working on Wine's own shader caching, but it never hit upstream. Not sure what happened to that effort.

No luck last night. For whatever reason I can't get the new patch to apply. I cloned wine staging and then acquired the latest patch you referenced and even performed the git reset etc. that you pointed out earlier in this thread.

I'll continue tonight since I have more time.

You are right, current staging patch is broken, and the updated version for it posted above works neither for Wine master. Let me see if it can be fixed.

Thank you! I'll try when I get home from work. As someone interested in eventually contributing back to WINE, is there any place you'd recommend I start?

Just start building it from source. Check out bugs that affect games that you are interested in (and report ones that aren't reported yet).

For building Wine geared for TW3, I made a script here: https://gist.github.com/shmerl/bbd448bc2b579831a82df7bae3de8dc5

There was another fix needed for the patch. See the final version here: https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=60429
