Curiosity: Hi Malek69, what's your material? Can you run it smoothly by decreasing graphics?

The only weird thing I noticed was that the water doesn't look quite right. There is something "low res" going on there. Is that normal or one of the remaining issues for Wine?
Feel free to report a bug.

Quoting: chepatimalek69, Witcher3 requires wow64, right?
No, it doesn't require WoW64 and works with simple 64-bit Wine as well.

The Mesa OpenGL threaded dispatch code seems to now use a whitelist, improving some games performance

Actually, correction. I had framerate cap switched on in TW3. Without it, it reaches 70-75 fps with threaded dispatch.

But when it's on, it seems to have a bad side effect. There are occasional dips in framerate, where things stutter for a fraction of a second. This doesn't happen when threaded dispatch is off.

Using Mesa drivers?

Yep, that's a welcome fix, and now The Witcher 2 can be played nicely without those annoying black transitions.

For the reference, until it will make it into /etc/drirc, if you build Mesa from source you should set this environment variable:

glsl_correct_derivatives_after_discard=true

It seems to help The Witcher 3 in Wine, even with CSMT. I got 60 fps with threaded dispatch enabled (RX 480), while without it it only produces 40 fps (max settings, hairworks off).

Quoting: MayeulCThis game looks very nice, but a bit expensive for what it is at its regular price, in my opinion. Do you know if the humble store will host some summer sales as well?
Not sure, but I added it to my wishlist there. It notifies you when games in the wishlist are on sale.
