Quoting: evergreendoes someone have a simply guide or an installer for dxvk? i’m to stupid for that..

Download DXKV on Github, extract and then :

WINEPREFIX=/path_of_your_wine_prefix bash "/path_of_your_dxkv_dir/dxvk-0.42/x64/setup_dxvk.sh"

It works with wine 3.5 and above w/o doing anything else.

Now I succeeded in using wine staging 3.6 with vulkan. But I don't understand why in dxvk_hud it shows me (using command WINEDEBUG="-all" DXVK_HUD=1 wine gameIwanttoplay.exe) vulkan version 1.0.65. On my ubuntu I have vulkan 1.1.70 installed. Do I have to install Vulkan api in wine?
Sorry for my ignorance..

It was the same for me when i was on Nvidia 390.48 drivers. Now i'm on 396.18 and it says 1.1.70, however i wouldn't recommend installing 396.18 driver, it has a new compiler and it doesn't play well with DXVK, some games drops to half in performance. As a workaround i use __GL_NextGenCompiler=0 variable to disable that new compiler.

Quoting: Sputnik_tr_02I have been using cpufreq for this. If you are on ubuntu just install cpufrequtils and indicator-cpufreq then reboot, now you can see a tray icon for cpufreq and you can switch between modes at any time with a single click.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I installed indicator-cpufreq just now and, wow, what a difference it makes gaming!

You're welcome. You may also wanna check Ananicy
That service allows you to control process priority of any processes. You can add any process to the config files (.rules) and set a profile (types) for it and it automatically sets the priority when the process is executed, it has premade profiles for games and such. Every bit helps i guess.

Quoting: Sputnik_tr_02Think about Windows phones, it failed not because hardware was bad or OS was bad, it failed because there was lack of apps.

Well, the OS being bad certainly didn't help. I don't think any amount of compatibility layers would have saved them.

I don't have much love for Android or iOS, but Windows Phone/Mobile was another level of awful.

Perhaps that is true but i still believe the biggest factor was lack of apps. Same challenge awaits for Librem Phone and i hope they will somehow be successful because i don't have much love for Android and ios either.

Quoting: GuestCongratulations to all Wine users and dual booters for giving them a reason to ignore Linux. Wine is the worst what ever happened to Linux gaming and the reason why Linux has no chance on gaming market.
Hate me but it's the truth.

Sorry but i don't think that is true. Think about Windows phones, it failed not because hardware was bad or OS was bad, it failed because there was lack of apps. I remember there was a plan to run android apps on windows phones but that idea scrapped for the same reason you pointed and we all saw what happened in the end, windows phones are dead.

Future of linux gaming depends on linux market share on desktop computers and i think wine is helping on that front not hurting as you claim. For example me, i was a windows user two years ago, was dual booting last year, and now i almost never boot into windows. If it wasn't for the wine i would probably still be dual booting or even worse using windows.

Thing is if Linux market share reaches to a point which cannot be ignored by software makers and game publishers that's when we will start to see more games coming to linux because at that point they would not risk relying on wine.

Quoting: slaapliedjeWonder if it works with Diablo 3. So, my friend finally convinced me to play it.. and then it stopped working in Wine.

I suppose they broke it when they updated it to drop support for XP. Unfortunately it runs worse in Windows 10 than it did in Linux with Wine.

You can use PlayonLinux to choose which wine version you want to use with the game. That is handy when regressions like that happen.
