Curiously in my case stay works and tested with wine 3.0-rc3

However when use trainer reduce seriously fps**, if use trainer (for example: infinity run) activate option and close

Minute 33:30 to 34:24 tested with rain (most demanding weather), after this stay without trainer program

Another titles is necrovision / stranglehold tested since wine 1.9.24 - 2.2 and how runs now in wine 3.0-rc6

Added this communication about release candidate from alexander julliard

https://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2018-January/121232.html [External Link]

Folks,

I think that at this point, we have fixed most of the bugs that could be fixed during code freeze, so it looks like rc6 is going to be the last rc.

Please test it to confirm that there are no last minute issues.

Unless something major comes up, I'm planning to release the final 3.0
in a few days (as soon as I'm done writing the release notes...)

Thank you all for your work!

Alexandre Julliard

Steam in this moments must be show % of users using wine, this date will be interesting

Quoting: devland

Quoting: mrdeathjrAnd now with Wine 3.0rc5 (CSMT improve performance)

Is CSMT enabled by default in wine 3? Are all CSMT features enabled?

I remember trying Witcher 3 in wine 3rc2 and getting a lot of graphical aberrations that are typical in wine-staging when not using CSMT.

Hi

Since wine 2.6 CSMT can be activated using wine registry, when be added wine description say this:

[DWORD Value (REG_DWORD): Enable (0x1) or disable (0x0, default) the multi-threaded

Command stream feature. This serialises rendering commands from different threads into

A single rendering thread, in order to avoid the excessive glFlush()'is that would otherwise be required for correct rendering.

This deprecates the "StrictDrawOrdering" setting.

Introduced in wine-2.6.

But actually various titles improve performance activating CSMT* and correct some flickering in certain titles case senran kagura shinovi versus, metal gear rising and others

*Actually stay test DX9 and older titles when users can see wine 3.0 improvements

However in my case add Donat Enikeev patch**, this patch show csmt option in winecfg, this patch make more easily select csmt for users

**If any needs patch copy this text to new text file and add diff extension

Because dont all games improve with csmt, in various cases hurt performance

Respect the witcher 3 this title needs many patches from staging to work

In this point DX10-11 titles must be used with staging because vanilla lack of many patches

However DX10-11 titles will be interesting in next development cycle, when begins wine staging 3.1

Quoting: musojon74I still use 970 with nvidia binary driver. It works. I don't have tearing etc.

To those saying about compiling from source, if we want an upturn in the amount of Linux users we need to make this unnecessary.

Sure we can all do these tasks but many will balk at this task and go back to windows.

Compiling for new users is really annoying when for this users must be only download and install (ppa is acceptable)

Quoting: XpanderI don't remember when was the last time nvidia drivers didnt support latest Xorg or Kernel, its been getting new drivers out for the newly released kernel for within 1 week and Xorg hasn't been a problem long long time.

[i]Standard APIs or not, the end user doesn't care.

If it doesn't work it doesn't work.[/i]

I know all the "political" stuff behind all this. Nvidia sucks, yeah. Gsync? F this, their own standards F this... but it works.

Until then i have no plan to switch to AMD if i have to fiddle with things.

If i buy a 500€ hardware i want it to work and get the most performance out of it, not wait for driver improvements or apply loads of workarounds by searching forums and google.

Nothing more to say in this phrase

Quoting: Xpander

Quoting: ShmerlIt doesn't, a least not at all seamlessly. Constant screen tearing (especially in Unity games), constant breaking of the system and need to reinstall the driver on each kernel or xorg update, no framebuffer support, Optimus horror story, opaque bug reporting process and etc. and etc. Wayland support? Forget it. If you really don't care about proper system integration, then Nvidia is OK. But I really appreciate how much better AMD works after switching to it. So talking about "just works" - AMD is way ahead, and that's to be expected, AMD are putting an effort into upstreaming their driver, while Nvidia don't care in the least.

And not really accidentally, all those benefits in AMD are from the fact that their drivers are open. My personal favorite feature though is GALLIUM_HUD.

Constant screen tearing? how about ForceCompositionPipline? or 4 years ago when that wasn't a thing there were compositors like compton that fixed it (though there was small perf cost)

Constant breaking of system? what? in 2007, yes. last 5 years, no
framebuffer support, yeah could be handy, but for a user who doesn't need to use TTYs, not a problem.
Optimus support? No idea about this one, who games on laptops anyway, i was talking about Desktop PC's
Wayland support? Wayland is still ways off, many games are not for wayland and perf is much worse with xwayland or whatever translation.

Now lets ask about AMD? Freesync? HDMI/DP audio? (ok those 2 are coming soonish, but what took so much time?) No Simple GUI to change your GPU settings, OC etc? have to use some third-party ones i guess? no OpenGL4.6 support? No Hardware encoder like nvenc.

Or how about hard system lockups with RADV or some other scenarios?

Ok i stop arguing now. Do whatever you want. I will pick my next GPU from the side that delivers performance and feature-set with smallest amount of issues.

Wayland dont care for now, as your said too most apps run over x and xwayland have many problems

Sadly amd market quote difficult change* because amd needs improve so much for offer same features than nvidia, as various cited by yourself: random lockups - freezing, driver GUI - lastest opengl support and many others

*In hardware side is worst scenary for amd because them lack of good performance / tdp gpu

Quoting: Phlebiac

Quoting: slaapliedjeThough to be fair, the Opteron system that I had worked great for many years.

Ironically, Nvidia made some of the best AMD motherboard chipsets (nForce).

I have one of them some years ago with athlon xp 2600+ barton core*, audio chipset (depending manufacturer) will be impressive in this time

*In this times 512kb of L2 are impressive
