This game is really nice! I play sometimes with my wife in a CO-OP mode :)

DXVK for Vulkan-based D3D11 in Wine version 0.61 is out with improved performance
29 Jun 2018 at 3:43 pm UTC

Quoting: YoRHa-2BWeird, it crashes for me right after the Piranha Bytes logo with *any* version of wine that is not the Arch build of 3.9 (non-staging). Even my own 3.9 builds crash the game for some reason.

Performance cannot really be improved any further and 70% of Windows perf is to be expected.
Did you test with wine 3.11? I think that 70% of performance compared to Windows may be related to CPU utilisation issues in Wine, because when I run the game with taskset and choose 6 instead of 12 available threads performance drop to even 40 FPS, so it's something wrong, because on Windows this game use just 2 threads most of the time. When I assigned just 2 threads to this game via taskset I just had 12 FPS. I think that in optimal scenerio 80% of the performance is realistic (eg. I have around 80% of windows performance in The Witcher 3 on Linux).

BTW. I have Ryzen 1600X + 3200MHz RAM + Radeon 580 8GB.

Unfortunately it seems that wine 3.10 broke it, at least I had no luck running it since then. I'd appreciate if someone else who owns the game could test that.
Yesterday I tested ELEX with wine 3.11 + DXVK from git + Radeon drivers from Padoka PPA and all worked fine, however I had 53 FPS on Ubuntu vs 75 FPS on Windows with the same settings. Performance lost in The Witcher 3 is smaller.

Surviving Mars already has a fix out for the Linux text problem, plus more thoughts

This game is really amazing! I already bought two copies, for myself and the second for my wife (she also use Linux for play a games, except for The Witcher 3). It works really good on Linux.

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

^_^
Thanks a lot. I thought that EE is still DX9.

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)

Maybe this occur because your hardware is different

Total War: ROME II - Emperor Edition is again showing signs of possible Linux support
5 Dec 2017 at 11:04 pm UTC

If it will show up on Linux I'll buy a second copy of this game directly from a porting company (probably Feral) store. IMO this is the best game from a Total War series.
