That crackling sound issue might a problem with pulseaudio. Try to increase its priority.

Quoting: TheRiddick20fps is respectable with a GTX950, assuming that's 1080p at medium or something?¿

I only run it at 720p. There wasn't that much difference in FPS at 1080p, if I remember correctly, but every frame counts :-).

Plus, I kinda like the washed-out look of the lower resolution. Appears more life-like to me as when everything is sharp, crisp and shiny.

The water looks like this:



Surface movement is also very jagged. And those black lines appear where surface edges are supposed to connect.

Can anyone please confirm I'm doing the correct steps in getting TW3 with DXVK running:

1) Built wine-vulkan 32+64bit (Git clone)

2) Created 64bit Prefix

3) Install the Windows version SDK from LunarG

4) Setup dxvk using the 'setup_dxvk.sh' (and pointing to the prefix using "export WINEPREFIX=blablabla" - Said successfully done

5) Added Registry Keys as Instructed by wine-vulkan and the Json file in C:\Windowswinevulkan.json


EDIT:

Well I did the above, but launching the game says that my GPU doesn't meet the necessary requirements. What am I missing? I didn't apply the Wine-Staging patches btw.

Is it possible to share the witcher installation with different wine prefixes?

I have. There shouldn't be anything that would cause issues doing that.

60% of win performance for a project that had its initial commit 5 months ago is extremely impressive. Especially considering that the actual Wine devs didn't think there was a lot to gain by moving to Vulkan.

Quoting: Guest@Shmerl pulsaudio is already on max, this is some problem with wine / vulkan / build. I will just wait for stagging / main.
@Avehicle7887 maybe run by steam or install manually DirectX / vcredist

Partially solved the issue, had the incorrect registry entries regarding "winevulkan.json". The game is now launching, sound plays but picture is completely black.

What did you do to get the sound work? I have the sound problem also with Elder Scrolls Online.

For me it just works. Still can't get a picture though.
