Quoting: andda715Just FYI, tried with a clean wineprefix with only steam and witcher => same behavior as in previous post. Hanging and black screen (Wine 3.2). :-(

Could it be some Nvidia driver regression? Did you update it recently? At least with Mesa I don't see anything of the sort.

Similar to what I thought, but I got the problem on the old driver and then updated to the latest.
I upgraded after I got the problem, so it was present on 387.xx as well. :-/
Also tried it on kernel 4.14 etc.

Same scenario, works on 3.0 but not on 3.2.

A major patch related to memory management / buffer hack: https://source.winehq.org/patches/data/141918

So far no improvement with those patches:



CPU utilization is now also erratic.

Quoting: GuestHonestly.. i think they should stop wasting their time trying to get Witcher 3 to go well with GL. DXVK is the approach they should take.

I wouldn't call it a waste. OpenGL backend for DX11 in Wine is already in a very good shape, while work on dxvk will take a long time still. I'd suggest for them to finish it, and work on dxvk in parallel. Though I don't know how good the chances are for upstreaming it.

Framerate doesn't surpass the 20fps mark and for the first time I'm not seeing invisible floor.

That has been fixed for a while already.

I kinda knew I was a bit late for the party :-)

EDIT: Any idea about the fps improvement over 3.1?

For me it only got worse since buffer pool hack isn't applicable anymore.

Tried a build based on wine staging 2.21 with the recently announced wine-pba.
Sadly it results in the same "black screen with cursor" that is already reported in github.

Looks like work is ongoing to port it to DX11 so black screen in DX11-Witcher probably is to be expected.

Very interesting to see where this goes. :-)
