A fresh DXVK release is out with fixes for NVIDIA, RADV and multiple game improvements

There is a texture issue fix for Shadow Warrior 2 as well. And people are getting good framerates (at least on pictures).
I am getting 1 FPS for some reason :/

What is Skyrimg? A typo I presume

A backend for graphicsmagick (just kidding, there is a special field to report typos under the article -- which I did on your behalf ;) ).

Still, it's always sad to see developers ressources being wasted on working around driver-specific issues. Long live open source drivers!

Thanks m8. Didn't notice that line :D

Anyone get Far Cry 5 to work on AMD gpu?
I get black screen with thia version and artifacts and crash with 0.41.

Is there a simple guide for setting this up on Ubuntu based distros?

And also one question too ; is it confilicting or affecting existing Wine Staging setup or is it build upon it but have completely different prefixes , environment etc?

I tried it with ark on wine 3.7 staging. with my gtx 780 3gb on medium custom settings and 2580x1080 resolution it reaches an avarage of 40 fps around my mega base ;)
can somebody tell me if dxvk is good enough for buying far cry 5 and playing with it?

I asked the same question last week on Shmerl's Witcher thread (here on GamingOnLinux), where I just saw you among some older comments:

For me the easiest and most simple way turned out to be:
1) Got wine3.6-staging (or now 3.7-staging)
2) Installed Mesa 18.0 (or above) and llvm6.0 (or above) via Oibaf's Updated and Optimized Open Graphics Drivers on launchpad
3) They should now also show up, when you enter in the console: glxinfo | grep "OpenGL version"
4) This done, I followed the instructions (copy/paste) provided also here on the occasion of running Kingdom Come Deliverance under dxvk by RaZy-bisCuiT at 16 April 2018 at 11:42.
NOTE TO supersede each "0.42" within the commands with "0.50" (the latter being the up-to-date version presently)
5) To check whether you got everything right, activate the dxvk-hud before starting a game from your prefix: export DXVK_HUD=devinfo

More info actually in Shmerl's egregious thread.

Now waiting for DXUP in order to enjoy Stalker games with D3D10+ and better performance. Now DXUP doesn't even compile on linux because author develops it in Visual Studio on Windows.

Replace Witcher3 with your game : https://boilingsteam.com/no-need-to-wait-for-a-witcher-3-port-anymore/

mmmm, I have check the repository and I see meson scripts in order to build for Linux/Mac/Windows. Try to clone the repo and try to build with the latest version, maybe now you can test it.

I don't have FarCry5 myself to test, but from what I heard from Xpander, it runs really well under DXVK at the moment. I'll link him here so he could provide more info. :)

From what i have read the rendering of far cry 5 does work rather well, but it's the drm that is blocking right now.

Correct me if i'm wrong but without removal of copy protection/drm its not possible to play far cry 5 with wine and dxvk atm.

Really cool part is, WoW works with it already since they implemented ID3D10Device in dxvk, which is cool. Still having graphics glitches on RADV, which seems to be a driver issue, but I'd be interested in actual performance there. On OpenGL on a RX 460 and on my GTX1080 I had real performance issues. Even on the old 1.12.1 client I do max at 30 FPS - that client is almost 12 years old.

I'd like to play on classic servers once released, since that's some way to go there it seems, I probably get lucky and can make use of dxvk by then .. considering the progress made. Will be interesting to see if there is a positive performance impact.

Thanks for the answers. I will try DXVK for Skyrim SE because Legendary Edition on Wine Staging has some flickering issues on textures and shadows.

Don't know how people tried FC5 on DXVK then , maybe they used cracked versions to see how it performs. You can try if you want.

@Leopard i took thqt information from information and discussion on youtube-videos. Didn't have the chance to test myself and will not. I just recently ditched my windows vm and am not eager to buy a new title for testing purpose.

Yep , i agree with you. To me ; buying a title in order to run it with Wine is pointless. Because i don't want to put money for unguarenteed compability on a test bed.

don't buy it. it works yeah and performs also, but there are still issues, like cannot use A and D when in vehicles for example. Also water from the distance is glitchy

Quoting: GuestDid somebody test the Witcher 3 on Plasma-Wayland? After the upgrade to dxvk 0.50 it doesn't work anymore, I can start the game but it crashes immediatly with a black screen and only the mouse is visible. On X11 it works though.

I've just checked and it works on my system. I run the game using PlayOnLinux and it shows a crash report window on start, but the game loads and runs flawlessy (the crash happens also under X11).

I'm on Manjaro with latest updates from stable repo, Mesa 18.0.3, dxvk-bin 0.50, kernel 4.16.7.
