22 March 2023 at 2:11 pm UTC

Quoting: Avehicle7887@mrdeathjr so now Colinmcr 3,4,5 videos play out of the box but without sound?

yeah curiously video are reencode in h264 with sound in mp3, if you play on any video player program on linux case smplayer video have sound

but in game dont sound anything, maybe wine have pŕoblem with muxers

Seeking more in depth wrc 4 videos, is curious how h264 format give some interesting ideas about wmv files

without forget troubles with h264 on wine until recent times

but experimenting and then i think about reencode (avidemux - handbrake and qwinff) video in h264 but with audio in mp3 128kb but encode in stereo aka 2ch (apparently wine have troubles with wmapro in this videos: 6ch at 384kb/s)

with mp4 container but once stay ready only change .mp4 extension to .wmv

and produce this:





Another successfull cases are:

























Curiously street fighter vs tekken need stay in windowed mode for sound work because in fullscreen video work but without sound

In some cases dont work case risen 3 (with/without audio), ultra street fighter IV and in others work but if audio track is disabled case darksiders and maybe others

Curiously in darksiders some cinematics have only music in track and voices stay out of video aka video sound with voices but without music





Other rare case successfull is bullet witch, this game have cinematics in ssu extension (but really is wmv) however this game have troubles with audio in game





​another interesting cases are collin mac rally 03-04-05 (cinematics are encoded with sound but dont sound), divinity 2 and roller coaster tycoon 3 because with audio track dont work but if encode video without audio, cinematics works

This wine staging version in my case restore some wmv playback in some titles

Case WRC4 works main menu video but dont intro videos, curiously both videos are wmv3 but only difference can stay around audio because intro videos have audio appear as wmapro



And in render compared nvidia, car paint appear correctly without black areas



However audio have strange issue in track, when stay all public sound bad but once leave begin point audio back to normal in my case

Another interesting result is in test drive ferrari legends
when sky appear correctly meanwhile with nvidia appear in black in my case



God eater resurrection also have wmv3 cinematics with audio in wmapro and dont play too, same history occur with ultra street fighter IV and street fighter vs tekken

And in my case fix nascar thunder 2003 with d8vk, in before wine version only show 3dconfig app but dont entry in game



As curious thing Ys VIII Lacrimosa of Dana shows this with sound ok



This is a logo movie curiously audio is wmapro but video is vc1 1080p

Quoting: lejimsterUnreal Tournament 2004, Unreal II: The Awakening.. I didn't realise these were both DX8. I'm pretty sure 2004 has a DX9 renderer (ahh, DX9 was added in an update). It might be worth checking out Unreal II with d8vk as it was awful the last time I tried to play it through wine.

Maybe this reply your answer respect unreal II the awakening





And this for unreal tournament 2004







almost forget both games are gog version

Quoting: Solitary
Quoting: jordicomaThe graphics cards are to expensive nowadays.

The powerful ones might be, but there is plenty of cheaper options (e.g. integrated GPUs) that are good enough to play newer games. I mean Steam Deck is better than your old gtx660.

However according gpu database gtx 660 non ti still have more hardware

https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-gtx-660.c895

https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/steam-deck-gpu.c3897

Shaders: 960 on gtx 660 vs 512 on steam deck

Tmus: 80 on gtx 660 vs 32 on steam deck

Rops: 24 on gtx 660 vs 16 on steam deck

Gpu Clock: 1032mhz on gtx 660 vs 1600mhz on steam deck

Memory Bandwidth: 144gb/s on gtx 660 vs 88gb/s on steam deck

FP32: 1.98 Tflops on gtx 660 vs 1.63Tflops steam deck

Pixel Rate: 20.6 Gpixels on gtx 660 vs 25.6 Gpixels on steam deck

Texture Rate: 82.5 Gtexels on gtx 660 vs 51.20 Gtexels on steam deck

Personally seems a bit more strong gtx 660 but no is a big difference

However kepler cards must be begins runs better with nouveau still with practically nothing help from nvidia compared intel or amd opensource efforts
