Quoting: Avehicle7887I'd like to expand a bit about the Large Address Aware that @mrdeathjr mentioned in some of his posts and may have been overlooked.

As some of you know, 32bit games tend to crash on Wine due to running out of Virtual Memory (not to be confused with System Memory). While this issue is also present on Windows, on Linux it is more affected due to the way the 2 OS's handle memory management.

To remedy these crashes on Windows, people changed a flag in the executables which allowed the games to use 4GB instead of 2GB. Just as on Windows, this method also helps greatly on Wine. I found a tool which can easily patch the exes on this thread (dates back to 2010): https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/large-address-aware.112556/ - All you need to run this tool is Wine with Mono and it's pretty straightforward to use: Browse to the exe file > Tick the checkbox to enable LAA and Save.

I've patched a few games and monitored their Virtual Memory usage, which went from around 3.6GB down to 2.5GB. Considering those games crash at 4GB they were inching close to the edge. Also be aware that this is not a magic bullet for all games, it works on a lot of games but not all of them.

Below I've made a list of all the games I tried it with and are now no longer crashing:

Colin McRae DiRT (1st game from 2006) - Max Details, with D9VK.
Racer Driver GRID (1st game from 2007) - Max Details, with D9VK.
Titan Quest Anniversary - Max Details, with D9VK.
Legend of Grimrock 2 - Max Details, with WineD3D 2.2GB / D9VK 2.9GB but stable.

These games do not crash but get very close:

Tomb Raider: Anniversary
Tomb Raider: Legend
Tomb Raider: Underworld

I've originally knew about this back in the Win7 heydays and every time I tried to resolve the crashing issues somehow I never came across to trying this on Linux, until someone on Youtube suggested me to apply it to Titan Quest.
D9VK use more virtual memory than wined3d but with this fix can help in various games

Many thanks

Colin McRae DiRT running on D9VK and patched with 4GB LargeAddressAware. I pulled no punches in this video, max details and V-Sync off. After the recording I left the game open and checked the Virtual Memory usage and after half an hour of gameplay it was still happily sitting at 2.4GB, I couldn't be any happier.

Quoting: GuestI've followed the video guide about using d9vk with lutris but I can't seem to get it working. Any help would be appreciated.
I make a folder in /local/share/lutris/runtimes/dxvk called d9vk and put the two folders of dlls and the setup in that. I then go to configure game in Lutris and in runner options I manually type the name of the folder. I put the environmental variables for the hud but I never get an hud and no log file for d9vk in the game folder.
It might be slightly different for Ubuntu than Arch, but I have my d9vk stuff extracted in:

~/.local/share/lutris/runtime/dxvk/d9vk

the 2 folders should be sufficient, no need for the setup script.

In Runner options make sure you have Enable DXVK turned on and type the folder name exactly as it's named as above for DXVK version, it's probably case sensitive.
Double check your environment variables are actually set, something like:
DXVK_HUD     full

Far Cry 2 (GOG) running at Ultra settings with D9VK and patched with Large Address Aware flag, after a solid non stop 1hr of playing, the game was happily sitting at 2.7GB Virtual Memory usage. :)

Trying this now with Bioshock Infinite, since it's crashing with dxvk enabled. They should have released the source for that tool.

Interesting that they have a source for that tool. May be we can rewrite it into something sensible that's not using Mono.

Anno 1404 requires the LAA patch to be played properly, otherwise it crashes after some gameplay. The Venice expansion runs out of memory even on Windows.

EDIT: It's not written down but I see it is applied during the video, @mrdeathjr: you may want to add it in your posts :)

Actually LAA patch is highly recommended with d9vk because d9vk use more virtual memory than wined3d

From my observations it doesn't affect all titles, but I agree it is highly recommended.

Age of Wonders 3 - Game works fine with D9VK however comes with a few notes:

- Works only in full screen. Borderless results in a tiny window, and Windowed resizes at 4:3 aspect ratio and freezes the game. Also no way to disable VSync in Full Screen. Issues not present in WineD3D.
- A minor graphic issue with scrolling text, not game breaking. The same glitch also appears in WineD3D but not in Windows, pictured here (from WineHQ): https://appdb.winehq.org/appimage.php?iId=52597 Bug already [reported here](https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=30117), possibly a Wine issue?

The game already seems to be Large Address Aware (LAA) enabled, Virtual Ram usage is at about 2.3GB with WineD3D, with D9VK goes up to 3.1GB. Should remain stable even after prolonged gameplay.
