Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoCool!
How to install this on Ubuntu machines in a few clicks?

Put the 2 dll files where the game's exe is and in winecfg set the 'dxgi' and 'd3d11' overrides to "native". Done :-)

I don't think that's enough. That's why the installation script replaces dlls in system32.

This is how i always install DXVK; works so far.
You can see in the dxgi.log and d3d11.log that the files are loaded during gaming.

<<There’s not much that’s eye-catching in this release>>

No, it isn't, and last one was not, and the one before wasn't too.

I have installed, and wait for proper working:

Rise of the tomb raider (rated bronze with wine-staging 2.21)
The Surge (playable with wine-staging 2.21, graphic glitches)
DarkSouls3 (Starts with wine staging 2.21, menu and character creation is working, game crashes later)
Resident evil 7
Nioh (start-screen appears with wine staging, crashes then)

None of them does even start with vanilla wine; nothing appears, nothing works with newest wine.

So, no time to celebrate at the moment. I don't understand, why things that work in staging 2.21 do not work with newest vanilla version. The patches in staging should be integrated in vanilla meantime.

This was the last plain version i tested. Wait for next staging.

I did not knew, there's a 2.21 staging; on their news page, 2.19 is the last version.
Is there a change-log somewhere from this version?

I do not use the vanilla-version; much games work better with wine-staging.

Quoting: slaapliedjeTbe secret to Wine is to use something like PlayOnLinux. Then you can pin thw verio n of Wine per container.

I´m using PoL since i´m using wine.
It´s a very good tool, for handling wine-versions and installing components.

There's not only light.
DarkSouls3 does not start anymore, with this version; so does Rise of the Tomb Raider. No way.
No difference with RE7 or WalkingDead3. Nothing happens here.

Do not missunderstand me; i'm happy with every new wine-version. Unfortunately, not everything goes better with higher versions.

Quoting: Ehvis

Quoting: sr_ls_boyI read that Prey is working.

That's about the demo. The full game is denuvo infected, so won't work.

Denuvo should not be a problem; i have NierAutomata running. This was Denuvo-protected too.

Quoting: Wendigo

Quoting: De1m0sBut, my xbox360 controller does not work with newest games.

I don't own a xbox controller but I got my ps3 controller to run without installing any drivers just by starting steam in big picture mode with my controller attached. steam detects the hardware automatically. it also works for non steam games if you manually add them to your steam library.
Maybe this helps with your controller issue.

I have that trick in mind; did not tried it so far. Problem is, the big-picture mode does (on my pc) not work under wine (PlayOnLinux). So, i had to start nativ steam, and add a link to "PlayOnLinux->steam->NierAutomata" ....
I´m not so convinced this will work properly and without performance-problems.

Quoting: De1m0sAnd this is the part, where i can understand, that for this time now, Linux is not for the common people.

Please read what you just wrote and report back when you understand how ridiculous your example is. :D

In case you need help with that, the "koku-xinput" you mentioned is an external patch for Wine, which means your problem is with a Windows game on Linux. Now please go judge Windows by the same rules. Try to run a Linux game on Windows and tell us how well that goes for you. Getting controllers to work might very well be the least of your problems.

As far as Wine's xinput support is concerned, it is under development but still unfinished. If compiling Wine with external patches seems hard -- and that's perfectly understandable -- you'll just have to do like the rest of those normal users you mentioned and wait for that support to be finished and released into builds you can simply install using your package manager.

I know all that. But this is just one example. And i do live with it. But no matter why things don't run as they should; you can't sell that to the common user.

Don't missunderstand me. I'm using linux only! I love it, but sometimes i hate it too.
