DXVK 2.4.1 brings improvements for launchers, more robust D3D8, lots of game fixes for Linux
26 Sep 2024 at 11:32 am UTC Likes: 4

This dxvk version in my case run some newer games: memory usage and gpu usage remains similar

2.4





2.4.1





in other things can run other newer titles





sadly seems rewrite memory allocator dont be merged in this release like doitsujin write here:

First part of a massive rework. Not going to merge this until after 2.4.1, and this needs a lot of testing anyway, especially on Nvidia and in more memory-constrained scenarios.
https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/pull/4280 [External Link]

according dxvk actions: Rewrite memory allocator is merged after 2.4.1 like as doitsujin write



rewrite memory allocator appear 1 hour after dxvk 2.4.1 release in actions

Wine 9.18 brings a new Media Foundation backend using FFMpeg
25 Sep 2024 at 1:42 pm UTC

Quoting: LeprottoObviously this won't fix all MF issues by kind of magic. But the advantage of using FFMPEG as a backend is that it's native, so if something broke is your implementation.
Before remi bernon ffmpeg implementation stay merged

https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/6442 [External Link]

elizabeth figura seems dont agreed with ffmpeg for various reasons

however other alternative is good because can give better results in certain scenaries

gstreamer is native too however also have various issues according remi bernon

almost forget in my case this wine solve two annoying issues with dxvk (this games run with wined3d but dont with dxvk)

dungeon siege III always show a begin error (related d3d9compiler_47) and after this close but now works again



and magical battle festa this title have a config menu but this menu dont appear with dxvk (however with wined3d appear) and now appear with dxvk

Quoting: KlaasDoes it work with gstreamer as well or is this something new?

I had hoped for some (more) examples of things that suddenly work, but nevertheless I think that ffmpeg will be a more reliable option going forward.
yeah but before week have much movement and when you use registry key showed in my first post, wine begin use ffmpeg

remi bernon have many activity in last week, i think compile wine 1 time each day in lastest 6 or 8 days but since around 3 days remi bernon add commits to begin use ffmpeg implementation

for this reason test various type of cinematics for see how work ffmpeg

and i think similar than you around maybe can solve some issues in actual wine gstreamer implementation

personally wmv+audio is very problematic in actual wine gstreamer, if ffmpeg implementation can solve wmv+audio issues will be a huge progress

​This wine version come with many changes some related screen management



other important change cited in phoronix forum is child window rendering*

https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/6467 [External Link]

*however in my case catherine still fucked in both ways: no cinematics - only white screen

also have some changes in control panel input app







also run some newer titles like this:







back to ffmpeg backend is needed add registry key

https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/6442 [External Link]

This introduces a new alternative FFmpeg-based implementation for the MF byte stream handlers, while keeping the current GStreamer-based as default.

The new implementation can be enabled by setting the DWORD value:

DisableGstByteStreamHandler = 1

in the HKCU\Software\Wine\MediaFoundation registry key.​


in my case mp4+mp3 magic still working (case atelier sophie - god eater resurrection - bully scholarship - onimusha 3 demon siege - ninja blade)



















mpeg (case melty blood act cadenza, resident evil 4 2005) work







and stay testing other titles (avi cinematics on enter the matrix for example)













but wmv (with wmapro audio) however still is a problem in my case

​This wine version solve a input bug present in constantine pc game (i test this game around more than 8 years) and keyboard input dont work but now finally work







however this dont solve other issues in game like: mouse view dont work correctly and some times crash in cinematics in my case

​something more for who use virtual desktop like me, wine add new command (without this command dont show start menu and taskbar)

before:

DXVK_HUD=devinfo,fps,version,api DXVK_FRAME_RATE=60 DXVK_LOG_LEVEL=none DXVK_CONFIG_FILE=/home/linuxdesktopx64/dxvk.conf WINEDEBUG=-all wine Appetizer.exe

now: 

DXVK_HUD=devinfo,fps,version,api DXVK_FRAME_RATE=60 DXVK_LOG_LEVEL=none DXVK_CONFIG_FILE=/home/linuxdesktopx64/dxvk.conf WINEDEBUG=-all wine explorer /desktop=shell,1024x768 Appetizer.exe

with this start menu and taskbar back to appear normally, however in my case appear another virtual desktop window but this is easily removed, kill first explorer.exe in wine task manager
