Quoting: maspeberFunny same fps as you Shmerl but my card is only 70% loaded

Sounds like the issue is with some CPU bottleneck then. You can see some cores used fully.

QuoteSounds like the issue is with some CPU bottleneck

Yes, I think so too. More than 3,8GHz per core is not possible with my Ryzen. All in all it runs fine now. Some invisible monsters and some missing textures in cutscenes. Not too bad :) I like to play TW3 under wine :)

That's because you didn't apply patches to avoid the freeze or it's a separate problem with cutscenes?

I tested the futex patch by Sebastian Lackner (it needed a couple of tweaks to compile):

Loop:


Futex:


It doesn't seem to have a noticeable impact on FPS (possibly even decreasing it a bit), but it reduces CPU utilization. Strangely, GPU utilization is decreased somewhat too.

I use Wine 2.21 with three staging patches and the patch against invisible surfaces near underground areas. I dont use the patch against invisible enemies to avoid freezes. I had two cases with missing textures in cutscenes until now and I get rarely invisible enemies so its better for me to avoid the freezes.

Nice, hopefully there will be a 'fix' for the nvidia performance as well at somepoint. Though Im not familiar enough with it all to debug myself.

Looks like it's coming after all:

Could you help me to start the Witcher from commandline. I have installed witcher with lutris and from there I can start it without problems. If I try to start it from command line using the exact same prefix and same wine version (2.21 staging) it just crashes with the following output:

What would be the "right" way to start it?

I made a few helper scripts to run Wine (make sure $HOME/bin is in your path):

$HOME/bin/wine_env.sh
#!/bin/bash

export wine_dir=${wine_dir:-"wine-devel"}
export wine_bin=${wine_bin:-"wine"}

export WINEVERPATH=${WINEVERPATH:-"/opt/${wine_dir}"}
export PATH=${WINEVERPATH}/bin:$PATH 
export WINESERVER=${WINEVERPATH}/bin/wineserver
export WINELOADER=${WINEVERPATH}/bin/${wine_bin}
export WINEDLLPATH=${WINEVERPATH}/lib/wine/fakedlls
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${WINEVERPATH}/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}"

$HOME/bin/wine_run.sh
#!/bin/bash

# Overrides and settings:
#
# WINEVERPATH to use custom location of Wine
# WINEPREFIX to set what prefix to use

if [[ "$1" == 32 ]]; then
   wine_bin='wine'
   shift
else
   wine_bin='wine64'
fi

source $(dirname ${BASH_SOURCE[0]})/wine_env.sh

echo "Wine env:"
echo "WINEPREFIX=${WINEPREFIX}"
echo "WINEVERPATH=${WINEVERPATH}"
echo "WINESERVER=${WINESERVER}"
echo "WINELOADER=${WINELOADER}"
echo "WINEDLLPATH=${WINEDLLPATH}"
echo "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}"
echo "==========================================="

$wine_bin $@  

Now let's say your prefix for the Witcher 3 is: /opt/games/wine/prefixes/witcher3, and you installed the game in /opt/games/wine/prefixes/witcher3/drive_c/the_witcher_3

You can make a launcher script like this:

tw3_launch.sh
#!/bin/bash

export wine_dir=${wine_dir:-"wine-master"}
export WINEPREFIX=/opt/games/wine/prefixes/witcher3
export WINEDEBUG=-all

cd $WINEPREFIX/drive_c/the_witcher_3/bin/x64

wine_run.sh witcher3.exe

It will use Wine from /opt/wine-master

Change wine_dir variable to something else to use some other Wine that you put in /opt

You don't need to split it all that way if you don't want to, but the above should give you an idea.
