3. Is there still the dark ground bug in Velen area for Nvidia blob users? If not, could it be Mesa specific issue?

Nothing changed there still is dark ground on Nvidia as well.

@malek69: I don't see CSMT key there. See HOWTOs.

That key isn't used in the staging version. It still uses the option in winecfg.

But @malek69 was talking about non staging version, so it needs that key to avoid graphics corruptions.

Tested 2.13, puppet lines are indeed gone, sound however is stuttering all the time and the fps went bonkers much worse than previous versions.
Shmerl Jul 27, 2017
It's interesting, that I don't get the stuttering sound. I suppose it can depend on the audio card / ALSA driver?

*Troll alert* So when Wine finally fully supports The Witcher 3, they'll release an official 'port'? */Troll alert*

I wouldn't be surprised, but at the same time unlikely by now. CDPR though have a relatively simple way to save their face. They can partner with Codeweavers, and make an official winelib based release.

Yeah, pretty much. Even if they make a stable snapshot of Wine that works well with it, I wouldn't really mind. I kind of funny the argument between 'native vs non-native' Technically speaking Wine is a library re-implementation of Windows APIs. So it technically IS native.

It's not an emulator, like Hatari, or Dolphin, or UAE.
Shmerl Jul 27, 2017
Native vs non native doesn't necessarily mean emulators vs non emulators. Mostly it means developing directly for the platform and using its available APIs, vs taking something developed for another platform, and translating foreign APIs into native ones.

Now it should be more playable, except for that nasty freeze.

Just to say it once: This guy is awesome.

I've never encountered the freeze bug (nvidia) so I guess I will play Witcher tomorrow :D

Hm, you get those clouds shadows on the ground. I don't get any with Mesa.

Can't help but notice that 57-60% GPU Utilization. Shmerl after all these Wine patches do you still get those awesome 40fps+ with Mesa?

Yes, I do. And I get 100% GPU utilization (RX 480). I wonder what kind of values Vega cards will produce. May be if anyone will jump on buying one, they can post here. I'd wait somewhat. Firstly, support isn't upstreamed yet. And secondly, I'd wait until Sapphire will make Nitro versions and someone will review them.

What's up with the sound in your video, btw?

I thought it was just me for a moment but other youtube videos play just fine sooooo...
Shmerl Aug 1, 2017
Some have this crackling sound bug. I never had it.
Shmerl Aug 2, 2017
By the way, are there normally shadows from the clouds on the ground? I wonder what's going on with Mesa that they don't work.

Sound crack only in wine 2.13, wine staging work fine

I don't have crackling sound in regular Wine with the minimal patches set needed for TW3.
