I'm waiting to see whether the missing floor issue will be fixed on Shadow Warrior 2 and Echo.

As always, I'm gonna wait for -staging. Vulkan is too important for my work.

Yeah, what up with that? the last staging release was 2.21.

It would be nice if they could do something more for GTA V.

This is a tremendously important game for the spread of Linux.

But for God's sake, I don't want to nag. The wine team is doing a great job.

I think it's an issue of a bug being reported as FIXED after the initial sweep by whatever it is that WineHQ uses to look for FIXED bugs...

Thanks

Normally i try record around 1hr or first game chapter, personally consider as minimum 1hr for give a idea about performance in large times

However some games distract so much case torchlight and exceed limit

And more now with change virtual desktop resolution to 1024x768 (normally play in this resolution) but now is possible after test how distribute sensors aka gkrell, nvidia x server settings, wine console and nvidia power limit

Whats wrong with it atm? is there a DRM issue with rockstar club thing?

• No video, only audio (needs workaround)


• Glitchy shadows


• Bad performance


• Even more graphical issues with DX11 or without CSMT

I'm not sure about social club, I have the latest version cracked and it works fine

This is a good thread to find windows games to add to my steam wishlist to express my desire for a port! Honestly, I've lost almost all interest in gaming through wine since there are so many native games available. Although I still support their cause, as it may make some older games easy to port.

I think things will get REAL interesting once the DX11-Vulkan project starts to function for games. Hopefully RADV driver for AMD can make some improvements before then because atm only NVIDIA's vulkan drivers offer superior performance.

Radv performance is good, but it can be improved still.

I wouldn't say this, currently RADV performs around %20 slower then OPENGL in most examples, far from good.

The staging patches are a no show.

What patches are needed for witcher 3?

See the howto.

There is also a patch for invisible and distorted monsters, but it's not ready yet (causes a freeze at least with radeonsi).

So I know this is kind of off the "Gaming on Linux" topic, but does anyone know how well key Windows productivity software runs on Wine these days? Like Office, or CAD things, or Photoshop, or financial or tax stuff? My instincts are that most of those should be less of a problem than games because they aren't leaning on the graphics hard like games do, but hunches are unreliable.

I don't know if this counts as "key" or not but as a composer I rely on the excellent airwave + wine for some of the VSTs (software synthesizers) I have. From my experience, I'd say it's not that different from games. Because on one hand just like with games it all mostly works pretty great at this point, but also one obscure API call, GUI behavior or something like dependency on .NET can easily make it all unravel and create problems. Especially if you throw insane attempts at DRM into the mix. (though thankfully as much as a pain in the ass it is, .NET works fairly reliably too if you isolate it)
