Quoting: ajgpI have a few other games to go so will probably wait a while til either the OpenGL WINE implementation is providing better performance, or until Vulkan has a way to elegantly deal with Stream Output.

Both will take a while.

Mohandevir:

"I've been able to install and make Steam's Witcher 3 start following cRaZy-bisCuiT's how-to, with Wine 3.7.

In fact I copied the game folder of my Windows install to my wine prefix. This said, it's really laggy and slow. Better than stock Wine but not really playable. It's far from the Windows version with the same hardware (i7-3770, GTX 960, Nvidia 396.18). Any clue what might be wrong?"


Shmerl:
"Better use this thread for it."

Thanks! Didn't tought about this one.

I'm using DXVK 0.42 with Wine 3.7. Didn't know about the regression with Nvidia driver 396.18. Will try driver 390.

Totally noob in _GL_NextGenCompiler... Is this a xorg.conf parameter? How do you configure that?

True, but I have waited this long. plus my games backlog is almost 20 games deep at this point so I feel I will have enough to fill the time. :)

It's an environment viariable. Set it to 0 when launching the game:

__GL_NextGenCompiler=0

I think I will skip the _GL_NextGenCompiler stuff... Nvidia just released 396.24 driver... Today. Nvidia are really active in the DXVK thread to support the "users & team".

Same here. I've never played the full game yet and still stuck in Velen. Avoiding spoilers is a bit hard though :)

Time for me to make a note of this for future driver updates ;)

In Wine... Duh!

I'm quick on the pick-up if you tell me often enough. Lol!

If you launch your game from a bash script (.sh file), you can add it in. An example of my launch script for Path of Exile in Wine:

Quote#!/bin/bash
cd "`dirname "$0"`/.."
export __GL_NextGenCompiler=0
export WINEDEBUG=-all
export WINEARCH=win64
export WINEPREFIX="$PWD/data"
cd "$PWD/data/drive_c/PoE"
"../../../bin/wine64" ./PathofExile.exe & disown

This way the environment variable is applied automatically at launch.

Quoting: GuestAt last I got everthing working...

But I have to say...all those tutorial on reddit and Youtube are just horrible and confusing for newbies!

I will make a detailed one....

You mean for using Wine in general, or for configuring TW3 in it? I thought today you don't need tweaks, it pretty much works out of the box.

I maintained a howto here, but there isn't a need for it today.
