Also, did you try it with vkd3d fork? I see the game has DX12 renderer too.

Just bought the game, I'll try with vkd3d-proton.

I've only tried with dxvk. Been a while since I compiled vkd3d since I don't have much use for it (yet).

As for Aquanox I recorded some gameplay yesterday: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMptKYsaxp4

In case anyone needs, I made a script for building vkd3d-proton.

Did you notice something off with this Wine staging version? It creates files on my btrfs volume with all attributes set (that's from GOG installer for Aquanox Deep Descent)

rwxrwxrwx

Weird.

Hm, how do you switch to DX12 renderer in the game? I don't see such option.

UPDATE:

I figured, you need to run

wine ANX.exe -dx12

It picks vkd3d but crashes on startup. I'll file a bug.

Quoting: Avehicle7887only overrides used are nvapi64 (set to disabled) and the usual dxgi + d3d11 to enable dxvk.

How did you figure out it needs disabling nvapi?

Also the language is messed up after installation. How do you select English?

UPDATE:

OK, I figure out how to change the language, it's in the settings.

Half of the time the game doesn't start though. I need to kill it an try again, sometimes it starts.

I didn't, I just made it a habit to disable it by default for all games.

I don't know if it helps, have you tried to limit the game to a limited set of cores? I read somewhere that the mfplat patches don't play nice with high thread count.
