​This wine version in my case at simple seek runs ok, testing with hot wheels unleashed 2



and work ok in my case with mesa 26-dev of today, this show 1.4.333

tested with days gone from gog and driver san francisco (so sad dont have for my delorean for jump at 88mph :dizzy:)





almost forget this wine solve in my case annoying bug related with exit fullscreen game, in this bug some games when you exit to virtual desktop remove wine taskbar

Wine 10.18 brings OpenGL memory mapping using Vulkan in WoW64 mode
3 Nov 2025 at 11:48 am UTC Likes: 4

​This wine version come with a huge change like this on opengl renderer* until now fucked
(1 to 3fps on game in my case with resident evil 3 classic) on new wow64 (./configure --enable-archs=i386,x86_64) but now

*https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/9032

also using zink in this game work ok too:

https://i.postimg.cc/QN7DhHQK/wn1018d.png [External Link]

if anyone have problems try enable zink and appear error like dri3 dont found, opengl error
in my case are fixed removing this packages (on cinnamon using synaptic): xserver-xorg-video-all and xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu

In my case stay working on ubuntu cinnamon 26.04-dev with mesa 26.0-dev compiled today and this give some extensions like:

radv: implement VK_KHR_maintenance10 - radv: advertise VK_EXT_shader_uniform_buffer_unsized_array

and give too: radeonsi: enable ACO by default

Other titles with work in my case are:

Wreckreation from GOG (and yes have DX11 mode , according pcgamingwiki dx11 dont exist for this title but this renderer exist on many titles like: lollipop chainsaw, claire obscure, silent hill f, japan drift racing and others)

this wine version work ok in my case with mesa 26.0-dev (compiled myself, for now dont stay on ernst ppa)

https://i.postimg.cc/256xsmDM/wn1017a.png [External Link]

and come with EGL Renderer For OpenGL On X11 as article said but in practice using resident evil 3 classic still run at around 5fps

https://i.postimg.cc/sgTh1BKd/wn1017b.png [External Link]

curiously show a interesting error: libEGL warning: FIXME: egl/x11 doesn't support front buffer rendering.

​Resuming huge part of this weekend try install resolute racoon cinnamon flavor*:

after testing lastest ubuntu kylin resolute of today, login error still remain

and test using ubuntu cinnamon 25.10 and installation work ok and login work without issues

curiously comparing login screen between 25.10 and 26.04 on cinnamon flavor: user stay selected on 25.10 only need write password for entry (work ok)

but on 26.04 on cinnamon, user dont appear selected and password box work but password appear as incorrect

also without gui tty console show same error, can write user and password ok but password still remain as incorrect

Hi after more testing i found a way to testing resolute

With actual isos resolute dont work because before cited login problem in my case

However if install for example ubuntu cinnamon 25.10 and after this use:

sudo update-manager -d

In my case stay work ok for now
*very impressed with performance, various tools of cinnamon like disable any effect on screen in my case and dont use wayland (in my case needed until wayland becomes more mature, actually have a better form but i give more time for polish various pending issues

however as commented in before this possible a last time use x as display server for 28.04 jump to wayland)
But now lastest mesa git compile without issues and same situation occur with wine 10.17 (new wow64) compilation

at least more interesting thing related ntsync, in 24.04 still using shmrel commands** dont appear ntsync status in mango hud but now

https://i.postimg.cc/ydsxM6jS/wn1017c.png [External Link]

**[QUOTE]shmrel commands for use ntsync in my case:

lsmod 

this allow know if ntsync stay avalaible and active, as interesting date on xubuntu 24.04 appear in usedby o but now stay activated always appear different number than 0

if dont appear in lsmod need put this command:

sudo modprobe ntsync

after this in my case use this:

cat /proc/modules | grep -c ntsync

before commnd is for verify ntsync status if appear 1 is stay avalaible

after this use again:

lsmod

and this time must be appear in module as name followed by size and used by

I finish dirt 3 benchmark and..................................:woot:

With wine 10.16 with xubuntu 24.04 give this results:

https://i.postimg.cc/wxCWN7qM/wn1016wnts.png [External Link]

around 145fps in average and around 118fps in min fps

but now

around 197fps in average and around 158fps in min fps :woot:

Wine 10.16 released with fast synchronization support using NTSync
6 Oct 2025 at 10:49 am UTC Likes: 4

In phoronix with shmerl information seems works in my case

shmerl information:

You need several things for it to work:

* Wine built with linux-headers-amd64 installed for recent enough kernel.
* Running on recent kernel
* Making sure ntsync kernel module is active (by default kernel provides it as loadable module).

For the first two, no idea if Xubuntu's kernel is recent enough.

For the last one (assuming kernel is good for it), do something like this:

[code]sudo modprobe ntsync[/code]

Or add ntsync to /etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf to load it on boot.
With wine git some weeks before appear without need make anything of this, only need have a recent kernel actually 6.16 (used in before weeks for test)

However using shmerl command now seems loaded:

the-burrito-triangle information

Thanks sherml. It looks like its working for me. `lsmod` shows the ntsync module loaded with 0 "used by", opening a Windows app with Wine and running lsmod again shows 730 "used by".

I'm not sure if mangohud actually checks for ntsync correctly now that it is finally in vanilla Wine and undergone various changes / refactoring to get merged. For checking FPS and frametime spikes, I prefer using Mesa's built-in huds:

OpenGL
export GALLIUM_HUD=fps,frametime

#Vulkan
export VK_LOADER_LAYERS_ENABLE=VK_LAYER_MESA_overlay
#not required, but can be used to customize the Vulcan hud
export VK_LAYER_MESA_OVERLAY_CONFIG=
In my case shmerl command work curiously in mangohud dont appear but using dirt 3 benchmark results change a bit at least in min

Default: 145fps avg - 117fps min

NTSync: 145fps avg - 121fps min
