Yeah I have that disabled by default with Lutris. However I found some games benefit from the new compiler such as the 32bit version of Warthunder (because native sucks), without it you get freezes.

But for most games you will get corruption unless the game specifically throws in support for it (warthunder does).

Quoting: compsci101Not sure if other folks are having problems, but this appears to have broken The Witcher 3 for me. Lots of graphical corruption and texture problems.

I run an up-to-date Arch with:
nvidia 396.24
dxvk 0.51

I have the same setup except I compiled from master and use wine3.7 staging. Just loaded up blood and wine (to skip intros) and it appears to run fine, I have it at 4k with default settings, couldn't see any major issues.

Was testing out Tomb Raider 2013 recently. With my 1080ti at 4k, native game dips down to 20fps at the second crashed pilot area (flare area after 31%), dxvk windows version gave me 40-50fps in same area, with higher settings! Also looked a little better lighting/color wise.

PS. You can't use tessellation with TR2013 atm due to some bug so turn that one feature off and all is fine.

Wish wine team would focus on getting .net working under 64bit (v4/452/462/472). LOTS of useful apps seem to rely on those.

That's probably why we haven't seen a Half-Life 3, because Valve is not certain they can do a good enough job. It's going to require awesome engine tech, not just mediocre stuff they have now. They probably already have the story done.

II seems to continue on from number 1 and has a lot of linked events. I had to recreate my GOODIE-TOOSHOOS historical record because I lost my savegame from 1.

In saying that I'm only 'trialing' Pillars 2, and it isn't sucking me into the world, doesn't look any graphically better either, even has aliasing bugs. I might wait a while until it goes on special. Also it seems to pay playing through the white marsh series which I didn't do.

Seems I'm a expert at losing savegame files, I had a 3TB drive of backups once, got all corrupted... :(

PS. This game is pretty much baldur's gate.

Actually there is a D3d9 to Vulkan project happening but I don't know how committed the developer is at making it a thing. I would go nicely with DXVK. (The roadmap looks ok, but not going to be fully there until mid next year)

Win32 is basically D3D9, percentage is impossible to say, if your talking about the BIG and popular titles then I would say it must be well over 50%

Wish F4se and skyrim-64se (script extenders) would work. Been having some issues getting them working under DXVK, seems like no fix coming any time soon. Pretty sure the 32bit variants work as I remember using the skyrim 32bit one fine.

I have been using a Fallout 4 patch to wine staging 3.7 so not sure if that is still needed.

It worked on staging 3.5 also, as for sound I have xact installed and enabled EAX in the winecfg (I do have a creative card afterall). There are MANY tricks you can do to get sound working, I'm just using pulseaudio atm.
