Compiled the patches also and tested GW2, Battlerite and Warhammer Online agaist regular 2.21 staging

System: AMD Ryzen 7 1700X 3.92Ghz, 32GB DDR4 2800CL14, GTX 1070, nvidia drivers 390.25

GW2:
without patches: 25-50 FPS
pba patched: 45-70 FPS



Battlerite:
without patches: 45-70 FPS
pba patched: 60-90 FPS



Warhammer Online:
Didnt work with the pba patches, character rendered but all world was just black

Specs: i7 [email protected], 32GB DDR3 RAM, MSI GTX 1080 Gaming X+, nvidia drivers 390.25

Did some tests in Lions Arch. the performance improved definitely. It went from ~25fps up to ~40fps on high settings. In other areas I have up to 120fps

Resolution: 1920*1080

Impressive, which build did you use?

@Xpander: Does Battlerite render correctly with those patches? Game looks interesting might give it a try :-)

I used the wine version you posted here.

If you wish to give this build a try I uploaded it to my google drive: [Download Link](https://drive.google.com/open?id=1TdFwaZ7juoiPawa9d2TCz3i7xZ9vswmR)
...

Or do you mean if I use Gw2 32bit or 64bit? It is 64bit if that answers your question :)

Or do you actually mean ingame. On my main, which is a necro, I am still on power reaper because that is fun for regular pve and dungeons imo. Though I have 15 chars of which are 11 fully equipped with ascended gear and some legendaries. On those I have most meta builds like chrono, condi beastmaster, heal druid, dragonhunter,... you name it ^^

Btw do you know if there is some kind of GoL or Linux guild? :)

didn't see any graphical issues, but i only tested one map. Its quite a fun game and runs good also. It ran fairly fine without the patches also, just bigger action with more spelleffects dropped the framerate, but with pba patches it drops way less

about guild wars 2, i didnt try Lions Arch, just some random map and there was some live event next to me which with regular wine dropped fps down to 25 fps (about 10-15 people size event)

and yeah i used 64bit executable as well and my resolution for all these games is 2560x1440, even though that doesnt matter much i guess for those games as i didnt see GPU usage go above 60%

I tested it in Lions Arch because you usually have the lowest FPS there :)

I meant, where did you get the Wine build from, I read lutris is providing new builds regularly.

I usually simply use PoL to manage my wine versions/bottles but for this test I downloaded the build you provided :)

Those who want to build it for Arch, Antergos or Manjaro can grab the package here:

just run makepkg

or if you dont have dependecies installed

makepkg -ci

I still have some weird stuttering at times when turning with mouse. Doesnt happen when turning with A and D keys. Maybe WoW/wine do not like 1000hz polling or high dpi.

Weird mouse movement video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1meBtGXaQFwxG6V04Ex3-6KqLlQ8TLxnm/view tried to move mouse with the same speed all the time.

Slightly off-topic here.. why should I use wine-2.x staging when Wine 3.3 is out? I am using PlayOnLinux and install 3.3 from there. I just play NeverWinter Online and I'm getting 60 FPS with all settings maxed out on NVidia 1080.

You don't really.

One of the things that still depends on 2.21, staging or otherwise, are the galllium nine patches. But I'm sure they will be updated in time.

I finish some tests between wine 3.3 vanilla and wine 3.3 + PBA

In both cases performance improve so much (nvenc used in all cases), around 20 to 25fps in each game

Quoting: knroSlightly off-topic here.. why should I use wine-2.x staging when Wine 3.3 is out?

You should not be using Wine staging 2.x. That project is dead.

Quoting: GuestI've not found much as a performance gain using PBA, well none at all really

Tried Burnout Paradise on PBA 3.3 staging and performance seems worse, or at the very least the same

Am I doing anything wrong here? Any particular winetricks I need to install for example?

It all depends on the game and your hardware.

here's a good explanation in which cases this patchset helps: https://comminos.com/posts/2018-02-21-wined3d-profiling.html

Maybe try later but in my case works good
