The big Wine 3.0 release is now officially available

Quoting: KimyrielleGreat that it's out now.

I am looking forward to see continued improvements to DX11.

I really hope they will concentrate on getting DX11 right, and not open another front with DX12.

Who needs DX12 at this point anyway? Barely any game is using it, and from what I have heard it may become a fairly big flop.

Developers seem to be reluctant to even want to use low-level graphics APIs and rather stick to DX11, which is deemed "good enough".
Very good point, for example polish another things case software vertex shaders needed for some old titles)

But now thanks projects like VKDX, wine must be begin transition to vulkan because runs in all os with all driver type: closed and open source

Will be more interesting vulkan

Quoting: LeopardX will be with us for a long time , i'm sure.

Reasons : Nvidia ( because of majority )

Not mature

Current games needs a mid-solution , Xwayland
Yeah for wayland most big obstacle is games quantity inertia directly represented in this simple question:

Wayland runs all games runs in X and have support of games developers ?

Quoting: LeopardFor achieving that ; AMD needs better watt per performance which i don't think it will happen any time in five years.

Nvidia has a massive R&D budget for gpu's while AMD hasn't. They simply lagging one generation behind on watt-performance.
RTG stay in serious reconstruction after raja leaves

However as your said them needs seriously create new gpu arquitecture (or improve in many ways your actual arquitecture)

Nvidia in consume is much better (one reason buyed GTX 1050) without forget games compatibility (much better in nvidia) and support from games devs

Quoting: Avehicle7887How in the hell you can play longer than 1 hour without crashing.

Every time I load Race Driver in Wine, it always runs out of virtual memory and crashes during the first race.

I will try it again with 3.0 and hope this issue is resolved. GRID 1 is one of my fav racing games.
Yeah very impressive, in before times wine shows more instability

This is a one reason because make large tests, because in large tests can see stability, mouse, keyboard and other issues

This wine version is big in stability, csmt (vanilla csmt is definitive implementation, staging implementation is different in various things) and others

For the next development cycle, we can look forward to things like Direct3D 12 and Vulkan support, OpenGL ES support to enable Direct3D on Android and plenty more.
Wayland support would be very welcome too. It's time to start switching to in KDE.
KDE devs don't care about nvidia and nvidia doesn't care about xwayland so, no wayland for the majority: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/users/statistics

Easy because wayland and xwayland dont supported for most games

And wayland have many things to do, bugs and others

Maybe in future this change but for now wayland dont care in gaming

In this wine version csmt are incorporated but needs activate using wine registry

Various titles improve with csmt case race driver grid, zombi, binary domain an others

Batman Arkham Asylum

Last test with wine 1.7.55

Fireburst

Binary Domain

However in various cases if your first cores 0 and 1 stay busy at 100%, csmt dont appear notorius but if first cores stay below 80% can have many chances to csmt improve performance

Wine continues to mature with Wine 3.0 RC6

Quoting: nadrolinuxThanks for information.

I tried to play Risen 3 Enhanced Edition, thats why I choosed 64 bit wineprefix.

It looks like a standard version of Risen 3 works good, however EE not.
Yeah enhanced edition is DX11 and 64bit but last time try this game dont run

However for this title type (DX11 - 64bit) staging is highly recommended

Quoting: nadrolinuxGlad to hear that info :) Do you use 32 or 64 bit wineprefix?

Did you installed additional libraries like d3dx9 etc?

Yes, my hardware and software differ a lot.

I have Radeon RX580 (mesa-git) and Ubuntu 17.10, however I think that a problem is related to wine configuration.

I use 64 bit wineprefix without additional libraries.
Hi

I can test risen 3 with wine 3.0-rc6 and still works

Respect prefix my main prefix is 32bit only (I use risen 3 standard DX9), i have another for 64bit apps but this game is 32bit (enhanced edition is different)

Quoting: legluondunetHello Mrdeathjr,
did you try to play LA NOIRE with Wine? I have the Steam version and it's impossible to play this game for me.
Maybe can try this days when wine 3.0 has been launched

Quoting: Avehicle7887It's been ages since I bought a Windows game to play with Wine, thanks to your video I went ahead and bought both NecroVisioN games.

May I ask how did you turn off the Vsync in this game? There's no in game setting or in the game's Bin/config.ini file either.
Hi

In my case dont change anything in ini except select DX9 option with 1 in this line: Cfg.RenderDevice = 1

According pcgamingwiki game default no active v-sync
