Just tested - (Wine 3.15 + dxvk master). I didn't notice any change in sound. I have a more powerful CPU though. It's possible your PulseAudio is CPU starved which usually can cause clipping.

@Arehandoro OpenAL got updated on Arch recently, and it's completely broken. Just downgrade openal and lib32-openal to the previous version and you should be fine.

I see that Arch is using openal 1.19.0, and Debian testing / unstable is still on libopenal1 1.18.2. Is it a bug in OpenAL 1.19 or something is wrong particularly with Arch build of it?

Thanks for the bug hunt :)

It should be fixed in the master. So watch out for 1.19.0, but 1.19.1 should be OK.

Transform feedback Vulkan extension should be just weeks away now.

We’re aiming for weeks not months. There has been a lot of progress since my last comment.

Good news, thanks!

So, transform feedback is finally available in Vulkan now!

To use it with Mesa you still need to apply some patches manually though, since they didn't yet land in Mesa master.

To download needed patches, you can do:

#!/bin/bash

OK, Wine master needs patching for it to work.

Winevulkan patch for Wine master: https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/files/2476079/winevulkan_patch.zip

Result (rotfiends are working):

You can also find a narrower Wine patch closer to upstream here.

What's a good way to rebase outdated git patch? Trying to rebuild Mesa with transform feedback, but patches are out of date (this one in particular. I wish they'd use normal branches and merge requests instead.

See full series here.
Shmerl 28 Oct 2018
OK, I simply made a branch from the hash when patches were still applicable (b7397b09d5), applied patches, rebased on master, and resolved conflicts manually. After that it builds fine. May be there is some easier way to do it.

Mesa now has transform feedback in radv in master, no need for patching.
Shmerl 14 Nov 2018
TW3 started hanging in Wine 3.20 (after the loading screen with logos). Not sure what's going on. Rebuilding dxvk and Mesa now just in case.
Shmerl 14 Nov 2018
No dice. But it's not a dxvk issue, since it hangs even with wined3d. Building Wine 3.19 to narrow down if it's a Wine regression.

UPDATE: yep, it starts fine with Wine 3.19. I'll dig a bit more into wine debug output and will report a bug.
