* i testing using my ryzen 5 4600g with vega 7 @ 2300mhz on custom settings, run around 60fps but if stay recording need put dxvk frame limit more lower case 50fps for prevent gpu load stay close to 100% and give errors in recording

Wine 9.0 Release Candidate 2 now available, plus VKD3D-Proton 2.11.1 out now
18 December 2023 at 8:10 pm UTC

Quoting: legluondunetI had the pleasant surprise of being able to launch "just cause 2" again from Steam, without having to tinker, just install and play. It's been several months since the game stopped launching on my computer. I don't know if this is related to an update of Proton or the MESA AMD video drivers or ...

I test in my case more later, last time dont work (GOG version here also have steam version too but prefer GOG)

​this wine version in my case using dead rising 2 seems loss performance compared 9.0-rc1 (in both cases stay recording and with a trainer active)


9.0-rc1 Staging




9.0-rc2 Vanilla



However xaudio dont work correctly in some places like platinum strip and bigger areas (ambiental audio loss sometimes) and overrides in my case dont work too


Wine 9.0 has a first Release Candidate released

Quoting: Avehicle7887Not sure I understood correctly, does Darksiders fmv's work now or still nothing?

no remains equal in my case, mp4 magic works but with some videos dont work or sometimes work case some vulgrim cinematics

however needs make a new test and leave in shame uhd 630 performance again

Add some updates

when build wine using: ./configure --enable-archs=i386,x86_64

appear new dependency:



this depency are related wayland 64bit development files but curiously in my xubuntu 24.04 have wayland dev dependencies installed but wine dont detect (maybe need new version ?)

other thing about this wine, in my case dont show dxvk in 32bit games

but i found new location in wine registry (HKEY_CURRENT_USER) where stay dll overrides for 32bit apps

this is default 64bit apps dll overrides registry location



and this is 32bit apps dll overrides registry location appear with wine 9.0-rc1 in my case



maybe can help for anyone use in same prefix 64bit and 32bit apps like in my case

For this wine version

I can change my Core i3 8350K (UHD 630), 16gb ddr4 3600mhz 1.35v cas 18 gskill (2 sticks), mainboard ASUS Z370-P (around 7 years with this plataform) and 2TB Seagate Skyhawk HDD (for xubuntu only aka 2TB for install system and games native - non native)

Now jump to:

Ryzen 5 4600G (3700mhz stock) overclocked to 4300mhz in all cores

iGPU Vega 7 (1900mhz stock) overclocked to 2300mhz

16gb ddr4 4133mhz 1.4v mushkin redline (2 sticks)

Mainboard MSI PRO B550-VC

6TB Seagate Exos Enterprise HDD (5.46tb formatted, all for xubuntu aka install system and games native - non native)

In this video* stay recording using VA-API avalaible for vega igpu



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evZoTLoc3A4

*related about avalaible titles for test (maybe more are added later)

With before changes on HDD side now is possible have so many games installed compared old HDD

back to this wine version on virtual desktop have some interesting changes according wine devs for example:

winex11: Use the new SystrayDock driver interface.

https://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/commit/48e6bf3cf1aabdd2ac640f572416b9169e324f21

in practice now appear new option in virtual desktop main menu for exit desktop in my case:





now ryzen 5 with vega 7 resolve my steam on wine issue (system freeze with core i3 8350k using uhd 630)

When i had gtx 1050 with core i3 8350k oc 4.5ghz, nier automata dont be possible recording because gpu up to 100%

according before i think test nier automata for see gpu limits but using same settings with vega 7 oc...........



only use around 80% of gpu and for before is possible recording without fps loss and audio de sync

since last time use amd gpu on linux around 2011, improvement since these times is mind blowing



on performance Vega 7 @2300mhz is more or less 3.5 to 4x improvement compared UHD 630

some new devs on wine or i dont see them, put commits around wmv:

QuoteAlfred Agrell (11):

quartz/tests: Improve VMR9 ChangeD3DDevice test.

winegstreamer: Add codec_data to WMVs.

winegstreamer: Fill in a few more pieces of WMV format handling.

winegstreamer: Move file size to struct wm_reader.

winegstreamer: Introduce mutex for wm_reader read_thread_shutdown.

winegstreamer: Leave pts/duration unchanged if they're not set.

winegstreamer: Implement compressed output support in WMSyncReader.

wmvcore/tests: Add tests for compressed output.

winegstreamer: Don't use VIDEOINFO for non-RGB data.

winegstreamer: Fix a memory leak in stream_props_GetMediaType.

winegstreamer: Delete duplicate WMT_ON check.

but in practice darksiders videos remains equal (mp4 magic can help but with some losses) and others

however some titles wmv stay working case ultimate marvel vs capcom 3



and Anton Baskanov also add some commits related amstream, quartz and winegstreamer

Quotewinegstreamer: Wake all streaming threads after seeking.

amstream/tests: Test IEnumPins with two streams.

amstream: Use correct index in MediaStreamFilter's IEnumPins::Next().

amstream/tests: Add quality control tests.

amstream: Send quality control messages from AMDirectDrawStream::Receive.

quartz/tests: Add quality control tests for CMpegVideoCodec.

winegstreamer: Handle quality control messages in CMpegVideoCodec.

OBS Studio 30.0 released with full-height docks plus Intel QSV H264, HEVC, AV1 on Linux
13 November 2023 at 7:26 pm UTC Likes: 1

In my case can confirm Intel QSV H264 appears enabled but usage stay around 70% of render/3d and around 20% of video according intel-gpu-top in recording



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTGA27nrqZc

but is too much compared ffmpeg 6.1, usage stay around 30% of render/3d and around 20% of video according intel-gpu-top in recording
