[Official] WINE info thread

Trying to get dx11 with dxvk setup to work.

With wine staging 4.0-rc and the WIC patch I still can't launch the game, I am now stuck at GGGBackgroundColor.png.

Most likely you are missing a particular set of patches from Wine (windowscodecs-32bppPRGBA to be specific). Try using one of the staging versions, it should be included in those.


I assume that is supposed to be these patches?

0001-windowscodecs-Add-support-for-32bppRGB-32bppRGBA-and.patch
0002-windowscodecs-Fix-32bppRGB-to-32bppRGBA-conversion.patch

Doesn't appear to help.
I do appreciate everyone's efforts, I did change my resolution to 1080p that did work in my case.

I am now able to use DXVK, after all the tweaks posted above, the patch was from the git repo for dxvk 0.91 that was in one of the guides.

In my opinion, if you get wine installed and get Lutris to install POE, then it has to be DXVK, or driver issue. Luckly for now it works in 1080p, but to be honest for how long is yet to be determined.

I can say I am happy with the performance, happy with the stability, it is quite good for a game that has no official Linux support.

For future reference this is what I have:

AMD Ryzen 1600
Nvidia 1060 6G Card
Fedora 29, With fusion repo Nvidia drivers using 410.78
Memory 16G Adata, Hynix

probably doesn't make a difference as it's probably more a Nivida driver Issue, or DXVK. I do have a 27 1440p Acer monitor running the game as suggested at lower resolution of 1080p. If as folks say they fix the 1440p, in this game my system should be fine running POE.

In general a 1060 6G card really doesn't run 1440p stuff very well, I assume with Linux performance will be sub-optimal due to wine, other overhead. But this system is dedicated to only Linux, and have a dedicated Windows machine with a 1080 blower card for other stuff.

I am really a casual gamer, don't buy many games but when I do game just want things to work. Don't mind tweaking things as it's a hobby, but in future I would be inclined to buy just Linux games that were ported, might buy one or two games a year, or that was my pattern for the last few years.

Just got the game to run on Dx11. Compiled wine 3.19 + poe fix patch + staging + pba from AUR then DXVK from git without any patches. The game would then hang just before the login screen, but something between deleting the game's shader cache and my old configuration file seemed to do the job.

It's running pretty slow, at 35fps max on 1080p with nearly everything turned down, but unlike Dx9 it supports extended play and when things get hectic it never really goes to absurd numbers like 0.25fps. The only real downside is that the game tends to crash when alt+tabbing, which means no PoB for me.

What other steps are you people taking? Is the dxvk poe-hack patch to make it not wait for shader compilation still required(I couldn't get newest dxvk to compile with it at least)? And what about disabling dxvk state cache? And disabling multithreadded rendering in the game options?

Edit: did some testing, my own conclusions:
- disabling state cache: I'm not sure it did anything to my performance.
- dxvk poe-hack: it's a bit outdated but it was a trivial fix to make it compile. Didn't really notice any marked improvement in performance/stuttering after enabling it though.
- disabling multithreading: I think it might have helped a bit with the stuttering, even though the frame rates didn't change.

This is my setup:
Ryzen 1600
GeForce 740 SC with 415.18 proprietary drivers
16GB RAM
Manjaro stable on kernel 4.19.6
Running XOrg 1.20 + Awesome WM + compton. Might try on a different WM later since Awesome/compton impacts performance negatively on some games.

I have the same issue with DX9ex and the regular crashing, also get the WIC error when I try DXVK.

Can someone explain how to use patches for Wine? Can I use it only for my Path Of Exile prefix or will it affect the basic runtime?

What affect will it have on other games I run with Wine?


I think the WIC patch will be OK with other games, but it might depend on the game. I'd try it out. I did run a couple other games in wine with the patch, and didn't notice any effects.

As far as applying the patch goes, it's a minor pain if you aren't familiar with building wine. I'm a gentoo user (source based distro), so I was able to squeeze the patch in and build with gentoo's normal way of doing things.

But you probably can just follow the instructions here: https://wiki.winehq.org/Building_Wine, make sure that works, and then apply the patch and rebuild. The patch is small enough that you can manually edit the file too. Or if you want to do it the proper way, you run (from the wine source directory)
"
patch -p1 < the_patch_file.diff


The '1' is for the number of directories to strip off the paths in the patch, typically the 'a/' and 'b/'.

I'm running wine 3.21 (gentoo's wine-staging) with dxvk (installed with 'winetricks dxvk'), and only needed the one WIC patch. I'm also running with nvidia-drivers.
strange, so it is working with 3.21, but not 4.0-rc?

You didn't do anything special regarding the windowscodecs? What use flags are you using, maybe I am missing an important one.

Hey there,
I tried installing it with Lutris and DXVK. It works out of the box without the need to frickle anymore. Really high and stable FPS. No crashes unlike the DX9 version. It might even be faster than Windows10. DX11 is working like a charm.

Limitations:
Your graphics driver must be up to date.
1440p does not seem to work. Must be 1080p.


https://lutris.net/games/path-of-exile/

Pick standalone DXVK.
Here is the minimum driver version you need:

Thanks a bunch, lutris has me in hideout at 100fps now.

I get lag with vsync enabled and map zoomed in

I did the steam windows dx11 (at bottom), the other one didnt run as well for me.

Where do you put your loot filter?

Tried it with default wine in Lutris and the game hangs after grinding gears. I really don't wanna go through reinstall again... :\

Change your resolution... Relevant parts in production_Config.ini:

[DISPLAY]
resolution_height=1080
resolution_width=1920
fullscreen=false
maximize_window=false

By now every DXVK "guide" should mention that 1440p does not currently work.

Have you let it sit for 10-20 secs? I have an i7 and it hangs on the gears, then works perfectly after a few secs
