Could someone please explain me in plain English why the difference in W from the normal models to the X ones? From my ignorant point of view 30/40 extra Watios per model to get an extra boost of 0.2Ghz doesn't make sense at all, specially in the bill, unless there is something else to them?

Quoting: cRaZy-bisCuiTDoes someone have the possibility to try out Battlefield 3 and 4?

BF3 I don't think will work because of Battlelog.
I tried out BF4 tho and it works pretty well! There are a few bugs, and (at least on my AMD card) particles draw as black boxes, which can be pretty irritating. Also Punkbuster is not really happy about us using modified DLLs and you probably will get kicked from servers. Singleplayer and Unranked/No PB Servers should be fine though :)
I was running Medium Settings, 720p on a RX480 at 100-200fps ^-^

Do you happen to have a link to something explaining how to make BF4 work ? All I can see is a Garbage status for the game on WineHQ and can't find any relevant info on making it actually work :(

Someone put an install script on Lutris https://lutris.net/games/battlefield-4/
But essentially, you need a 64bit Wine 3.5 Prefix with DXVK set to Windows 10 and then it should be enough to install Origin and the game.

Following those steps, except setting level of Windows to 10, last night couldn't install Origin, always getting some QTWebInterface errors :/

Have you tried installing it through Lutris? That's what I did and I had no problems with Origin whatsoever.

I did but no luck :/

Dark Forces on Steam installs but doesn't launch for me. Having this will probably help :D

Note to myself: I should have gotten old Star Wars Games on GOG instead of Steam.

Quoting: Shmerl

Quoting: Arehandorowine setup_the_witcher_3.exe

Using Wine like that assumes that default Wine supports Vulkan. Many report that Ubuntu's version and some others too do not. So it's recommended to build Wine from source and use that custom one, which needs some additional environment setup like above. Same applies to running setup_dxvk.sh by the way.

I didn't know. Feel very lucky now that in my case was so easy. Thanks for the heads up though.

Quoting: Geppeto35Please can someone points to a clear text tutorial to install DXVK plus the witcher 3, or details here how to do that (in fact lost in winprefix and stuff like that). Thanks ^_^

Assuming you have wine64 installed and wine 3.5 installed:

WINEPREFIX="~/Path/to/your/directory" wine wineboot
export WINEPREFIX="~/Path/to/your/directory"

Download the 10 files for The Witcher 3 from GOG. And download the 64 bits files stored in https://haagch.frickel.club/files/dxvk/latest/ for dxvk.

mkdir /path/for/dxvk

In that folder there should be the same structure/files that is on the ftp server above. That is "bin" and "lib64" within dxvk folder plus 2 files and a script in "bin" and two files on "lib64"

cd /your/dxvk/directory/bin
WINEPREFIX=/Path/to/your/wineprefix bash setup_dxvk.sh

See that completes successfully.

wine setup_the_witcher_3.exe

Wait for the installation to finish and off you go. I didn't have to do anything else and sorry for bad explanation, not much time at work for a better one xD

Cheers

I finally managed to install dxvk yesterday with The Witcher 3 :)

Firstly I must say, with Wine 3.5, it was much simpler than I was expecting. Only had to download the nightly files of dxvk and apply the script to the wineprefix I had created for the game.

Secondly, the game runs smoothly and nicely. I have everything on High, with some Ultra options enabled, and the experience it's wonderful. However, shadows seem a bit too dark and somehow I can't change the resolution from within the game -Which I guess is running at the native one to my desktop-

Lastly, I will have to give it a go with some other games to do more testing. Are the Arkham Asylum games DX11? Is it possible to setup vk9 and dxvk on the same prefix?
