In this wine version have some work of henri verbeet on DX and added some cards to wine database case: 980ti - 690 - HD 6480G

But in git appear this patch of Kimmo Myllyvirta

https://source.winehq.org/patches/data/126768 [External Link]

This patch affect the witcher III (however dont is playable for now)





However needs add this register entry on direct3d for pass minimum requirement dialog box

To go past the dialog box, you must allow the Wine D3D implementation to use a recent version of OpenGL.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct3D]

"DirectDrawRenderer"="opengl"
"UseGLSL"="enabled"
"MaxVersionGL"=dword:00040005

Then import it into the registry with the following command : wine regedit d3d.reg.
This will allow Wine D3D to use OpenGL 4.5.

Quoting: boltronics

Quoting: liamdaweThe problem is the same as always, people will claim Wine is great, but in reality it fails miserably at too much.

Even games rated "Platinum" often still require tweaks and end up having lots of issues. Native all the way.

Let's see...
https://systemsaviour.com/finished-games/ [External Link]
78 games "finished" (as in completed the single player campaign) under Wine. 56 games finished using native builds. Speaks for itself really.

Native is better much less complicated than wine (wine is usefull but native is more affordable for final user)

However good tip about which game are finished with wine however them need put system specs: distribution used - cpu used - mount of memory - videocard used - type of driver used for each title (this information maybe can give better idea for new users)

First thanks for patch

In my case appears huge performance improvement

View video on youtube.com

System Specs used in Test

Nvidia Drivers 367.36.02 (run package from nvidia homepage)

Xubuntu 16.04 64Bit - Kernel 4.4.0-34 generic (ubuntu mainline) - CPUFreq: Performance

CPU: INTEL Pentium G3258 (Haswell 22nm) 4.1Ghz + Artic Cooling Alpine 11 Plus

MEMory: 8GB DDR3 1333 (2x4) Patriot value (dual channel: 21.3 gb/s)

GPU: Zotac Nvidia Geforce GT630 (GK208 28nm: 384 Shaders / 8 ROPS) Zone Edition Passive Cooling 2GB DDR3 1800Mhz 64Bit (14.4Gb/s)

MAINBOARD: MSI H81M E33

Before patch game dont pass 20fps (in heavy scenes at begins 15fps like begin scene: tornado scene) without forget constant freezes (unplayable)*

But now game runs above 40 to 45fps on heavy scenes and upper 50 / 60fps on light scenes and stable

Without recording performance up 6fps more

*Still modified settings in LifeIsStrangeEngine.ini located on:

/home/yourusername/.local/share/feral-interactive/Life Is Strange/VFS/Local/My Games/Life Is Strange/LifeIsStrangeGame/Config/

Some settings used in this file are:

*[TextureStreaming]
PoolSize=512 changed to PoolSize=1024

[SystemSettings]
DynamicShadows=True to False
MotionBlur=True to False
MotionBlurPause=True to False
MotionBlurSkinning=1 to 0
DepthOfField=True to False
AmbientOcclusion=True to False
Bloom=True to False

Distortion=True to False
FilteredDistortion=True to False
DropParticleDistortion=False to True
LensFlares=True to False
FogVolumes=True to False
AllowRadialBlur=True to False
AllowSubsurfaceScattering=False to True
AllowImageReflections=False to True

This changes can be used with patch without problem as see in video

Quoting: manero666Nice too see all these d3dx10 improvements! I also own Just Cause 2 and can't wait to play it!

The original Metro should work fine, but check the Wine apps database [External Link] because it probably needs some tweaks

Tomb raider works super fine with Wine!

But your cpu is too weak* (for DX10 needs more cpu)

*Same case as life is strange native where you cant run game (weak cpu)

Maybe could try upgrade your cpu (intel haswell at 4ghz or upper is highly recommended) or wait next year for zen

Quoting: XaeroVincentGreat to see Just Cause 2 starting to semi-work. I'd like to play that one again in my Steam library.

Now the real test will be Grand Theft Auto 5.

That is a DirectX 10 game as well.

However this type of games use warp for directx10 (case sleeping dogs and others), maybe can try another titles

*this feature dont stay ready for now

Another title shows some progress is akibas trip, now shows loading screen and warning screen

xblade code embryo shows black screen but sound work correctly

However much of this work is for jozef kucia contributions (thanks) but them want use opengl 4 for DX11
