In other issues with this wine coolermaster hyper t4 used with core i3 8350K tri-core 5.0ghz will be upgraded to zalman cnps 10x performa+ (gain around 5 to 6 degrees less)






Maybe in future cooler can be upgraded too for masterfan pro 120 air balance 84CFM:



And tower is upgraded too

This is huge. It will make a lot of games go from silver to gold or even to platinum on protondb.

You are correct. The wine bug tracker is about ready to explode! I'm compiling FAudio/Wine 4.3 right now.

Fix 41670 BattlEye launcher stuck at 'Starting BattlEye Service...' (PUBG, Planetside2, H1Z1: King of the Kill, Tibia 11)
and
Fix 45841 Battleye's BEDaisy.sys requires that PsThreadType and PsProcessType are defined

Has anyone tried to start PUBG with it yet? That has failed so far because of this bug:

As soon as Valve adopted Wine 4.3 into Proton we can see how much it brings.

I tried it out without the staging patches and I don't hear audio for 'Far Cry 4', beyond the videos.
So, nothing has changed for me. I'm thinking that SDL2 might be misconfigured. I'm after debians build
logs for sdl2, namely the configure line. I use pulse when compiling wine but I'll try it without it.

Is this implementation of Faudio in Wine 4.3 compiled with ffmpeg support?

But isn't FAudio included in Proton already ?

If you stay using steam on wine maybe can appear odd behaviour: consist steamwebhelper (wine create 2 process of steamwebhelper) up cpu usage and on /bin/cef/cef.win7/ on steam folder

Create debug file and grow very quickly (in my case in 2 min up to 2.2gb and more)

If appear before cited behaviour, kill steamwebhelper process with higher cpu usage (another process dont need kill it) and on /bin/cef/cef.win7/ see if have debug file and follow to delete it and delete chrome_elf and libcef.dll

Before cited steps with steam opened and logged

Improved handling of kernel objects.

I'm curious guys, what does that means?

Sorry to disappoint you, but FAudio was already bundled with Proton so nothing changes in this regard ;). See https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/wiki/Changelog#316-5

chrome_elf? Something to do with Shadowrun?

Yes.

But I still needed to install FAudio for Skyrim: Special Edition - and I'm on the steam client beta.

Using Steam Beta is something different than using Proton Beta. I would say you are using Proton 3.16 (stable) but not Proton 3.16 Beta. I'm on Steam stable, but have selected "Proton 3.16-7 Beta" in my Steam Play settings. Could you review your settings there?
Your DXVK hud should show DXVK version 0.96, otherwise you are not using Proton 3.16-7 beta.

Edit: You can also set the Proton version per game (Right mouse button on a game -> Properties -> Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool).

Yes.

There are next to FAudio2 other fixes in 4.3. As soon Valve adopted 4.3 into Proton we will see much more improvements.

come on, bring the new proton out already, it sucks to use wine + windows steam client to have forcefeedback in Dirt Rally 2.0. It doesn't work with proton sadly.

Anyone know how I can use FAudio with older Wine versions? I know Proton does this for a while but how about using it with just Wine?

So far I've managed to build the "libFAudio.so" library but I'm at a roadblock how to get Wine to use it.

Try using these mingw builds https://github.com/Kron4ek/FAudio-Builds as dll overrides.

Knew I was missing something > building the libraries as native dll's it seems. Will try these thanks :)

Yes, of course. My comment was for the inclusion of FAudio only, I apologize if I misunderstood the original statement. The jump from wine 3.16 to 4.3 (or whatever the next version will be) as base for Proton will certainly show quite some improvements.

So will using Wine 4.3 from WineHQ be a problem on Debian which didn't get faudio packaged yet?

If anyone works cybermax* in this ppa provide ubuntu bionic, cosmic and disco faudio - sdl 2.0.9 packages and dev packages

Many thanks cybermax
