How to setup OpenMW for modern Morrowind on Linux / SteamOS and Steam Deck
How to install Hollow Knight: Silksong mods on Linux, SteamOS and Steam Deck
https://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2018-March/124262.html
I have a problem. Game launches, sound is Nok and screen is black. Can anyone please share the correct procedure.
I followed the instructions:
- Compile Wine-vulkan 3.3 with --enable-win64
- Compile dxdk 0.31
- WINEPREFIX="$HOME/DXVK" bash setup_dxvk.sh
- Install vulkan SDK 1.0.51.0 and test 1.1.70.1
- create a json file "c:\windows\winevulkan.json" and reg key
I have install the last NVIDIA driver 390.42. The cube.exe of Vulkan SDK works.
I install witcher via Steam on a 64 bit WINEPREFIX.
Do you have an idea ?
The vulkan SDK "cube.exe" works well.
How to know if the pb comes from dxvk or witcher 3?
Are there any dll required in wine for "witcher 3?
it's for AMD GPU, no ?
Let's say you install Wine with vulkan support in /opt/wine-vulkan, and the game in /opt/games/wine/prefixes/witcher3 and dxvk in /opt/games/wine/dxvk
That's what you need to do (the prefix location must be writeable obviously):
export wine_bin="wine64"
export WINEPREFIX="/opt/games/wine/prefixes/witcher3"
export WINEVERPATH="/opt/wine-vulkan"
export WINESERVER=${WINEVERPATH}/bin/wineserver
export WINELOADER=${WINEVERPATH}/bin/${wine_bin}
export WINEDLLPATH=${WINEVERPATH}/lib/wine/fakedlls
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${WINEVERPATH}/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}"
export PATH=${WINEVERPATH}/bin:$PATH
/opt/games/wine/dxvk/bin/setup_dxvk.sh
That would ensure the correct Wine is run during setup with the correct prefix.
I think, setup_dxvk.sh really should take more parameters, specifically prefix location, and wine location explicitly, or fail if WINEPREFIX and WINEVERPATH are not defined.
/usr/local/bin
/usr/local/lib/fakedlls
my WINEPREFIX is in /home/$user/Playonlinux/witcher3
I test your script this evening, thanks.
For delete the old compilation on /usr/local, a rm is enough ?
git clone
created dirs for 32 and 64 bit build
cd 64build dir
../wine-vulkan/configure --prefix="/opt/wine-vulkan" --libdir="/opt/wine-vulkan/lib" --with-x --with-gstreamer --enable-win64 CFLAGS="-O3 -march=native" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -march=native"
make
cd 32build dir
../wine-vulkan/configure --prefix="/opt/wine-vulkan" --libdir="/opt/wine-vulkan/lib32" --with-x --with-wine64="../wine64-build" CFLAGS="-O3 -march=native" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -march=native"
make
sudo make install
cd 32build dir
sudo make install
WINEPREFIX="~/.wine-vulkan" WINEARCH=win64 /opt/wine-vulkan/bin/wine64 wineboot
Just tried your script with the ENV Vars - but its the same. With wine-staging all worked with no problems.
make json file like described at wine vulkan in clean wineprefix drive_c
make dxvk.reg with REGEDIT4 and both keys
WINEPREFIX="~/.wine-vulkan" /opt/wine-vulkan/bin/wine regedit
imported dxvk.reg with message successful
cd to /dxvk
WINEPREFIX="~/.wine-vulkan" bash setup_dxvk.sh
than tried TW3 and cube.exe with no success
You can't simply run wine binary without setting needed environment properly. WINEPREFIX alone is not enough.
Problems happen when wine is mixed up about its env, and configures prefix incorrectly. Once you make sure wine configures prefix against wine-vulkan precisely, then it will all fall in place.
wine regedit
It should configure your prefix if it was messed up. Do it once with other wine version, and then with wine-vulkan to make sure this step takes place.
And by the way - wine-vulkan is not needed anymore. You can use wine-master now.
