Hi,

If using PulseAudio reducing the audio latency solves to popping/crackling sound for me:

export PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=10 (or similar)

Might need to start wine/steam from that shell and/or restart pulse.

Yeah, but I'm a bit surprised it's a problem on such a good CPU as Threadripper.

I'm pretty sure the above is just a bug in PulseAudio that shows up in Witcher?
The crackling/popping happens even in loading, menu (before game) and paused (or similar) when there is zero load on both the CPU and the GPU.
Might be related to AMD CPUs still, but not due to "performance".

EDIT: I've lost count in all the bugs in PulseAudio - been better last year or so but still feels like something a kid programmer whipped together during a summer of code first time coding. :D

@Shmerl any idea? https://dev.wine-staging.com/patches/submission/269/

I'll test it later today.

If I get some time this weekend I'll test as well. Though my results will be different due to me using mesa with AMD.

Just did a clean build based on 389c3ad comctl32/button: Fix paint handler check when theming is on.

With
../wine/configure --enable-win64 --prefix=/opt/wine-build CFLAGS="-O4" CC="gcc-7"
and
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib32 ../wine/configure --with-wine64=../wine-build --prefix=/opt/wine-build CC="gcc-7"

Won't launch, just a black screen, hangs, and the following error message:
00c4:err:seh:setup_exception stack overflow 1712 bytes in thread 00c4 eip 000000007bc65c29 esp 000000003b020f60 stack 0x3b020000-0x3b021000-0x3b220000


Any ideas? Haven't built manually since 3.0 was released.
Won't have time to bisect. :-/

I built normal Wine 3.1 last weekend without any patches, it provided same results as malek. GTX 1060 / 384.111 - 3fps max

That's expected without the buffers patch, but probably before it wasn't that bad. There is now some work going on with this in Wine master, so buffers patch is now somewhat incorrect.

QuoteWell, the wined3d_pool enum no longer exists in current Wine git, so any hack based on that will run into issues. If you want to do a hack, I'd suggest starting with not setting WINED3D_RESOURCE_ACCESS_CPU in d3d11's d3d_buffer_init(), unless "Usage" is D3D11_USAGE_STAGING, in which case you don't want WINED3D_RESOURCE_ACCESS_GPU. This is also an area that's currently seeing active development though; any hack is likely to get broken again relatively soon.
