Looks like patches for Invisible Monsters and Caves(?) exist now :)

Wish I wouldn't be that lazy nowadays to compile myself.

Yes, caves patch is in review already, and invisible monsters one is still a hack so will be manual for now. I'll test it later today. Building Wine can be easy, but gets more tedious with customization. I spent some time writing automation scripts for the whole thing (including partial staging and manual patching). If you are lazy, write scripts to do the repetitive work ;)

Yeah, that's what I did. I've manually cloned the wine and wine-staging repositories once, and then have the following script next to both directories:
#!/bin/sh
cd wine
git checkout .
git clean -f
git pull
cd ../wine-staging
git pull
cd patches
./patchinstall.sh DESTDIR=../../wine wined3d-buffer_create wined3d-Copy_Resource_Typeless d3d11-Deferred_Context wined3d-GenerateMips
cd ../../wine
CFLAGS="-march=native -O3" CXXFLAGS="-march=native -O3" CC=gcc-7 CXX=g++-7 ./configure --enable-win64 --disable-tests --prefix=/opt/wine-witcher
make -j 4
sudo make install
From time to time it needs a bit of tweaking, like checking out a specific wine revision to get the staging patches to apply correctly, or to add a manual patch like now with the invisible ground fix. But once you have even those few lines in place, doing a new build is really painless.

Heh, mine is a bit more complex, since I'm building inside a VM. I might put it up somewhere to Github gist later (after some cleanup).

You can override branch there as needed (with env variable).

I.e. for example:

wine_branch=wine-2.21 ./tw3_wine_build.sh

Since current staging fell behind.

If you want to patch staging patches themselves to make limited set of TW3 patches applicable to Wine master, here is a temporary diff:

Marek Olšák pushed this fix, and Mesa is back to normal to good performance and no flickering!

Though now there is a problem with invisible monsters fix. It causes a freeze again :(

Finally, mountain path scene renders correctly without missing surfaces! Same "caves" fix helped.



With distorted monsters fix, now this new freeze is the only major issue left it seems.

Wow, that's production-grade code :-). Simple and beautiful!

I can confirm this. Monsters are visible now, but the whole system froze after a while... :/
