The new D3D patch for Wine

[z1lt0id]

So I compiled and tested out the new D3D patch for Wine. The performance increase is phenomonal. Especially for Unreal3 games which I’ve only tested so far. Bureau X-COM for example is now playable, and other Unreal3 games that lagged FPS compared to Windows now run on parity.

I’ve been curious to see if Skyrim has improved at all.

The whole using only one thread deal was making me angry!

Hi all,
Tried this patch set on Gentoo with Wine 1.7.1 (as required). Added in a recommend mouse rotation fix patch from the WineHQ AppDB page for DX: HR. Wine also compiled with graphite optimisations and LTO.

Can actually run DX: HR with GLSL enabled!! Getting ~30FPS (for a 8800GTX @1600×1200 = OK). Previously performance sucked balls (even without GLSL)…

Also launching Wine at nice -10 priority (which helps performance for most of my games).

This is really a big deal for Wine gaming…

Here is a quick benchmark from Black Mesa Source:

With Wine 1.7.2 from PPA: 49~50 FPS
With Wine patched 1.7.1 with CSMT=enabled: 71~72 FPS

Tested on Ubuntu 13.04 x64 on Core2 Quad CPU Q9550 @ 2.83GHz + GeForce GTX 560 + 4Gb RAM.

Da timedemo here: http://strycore.com/documents/mesabench.dem

Borderlands (timedemo1_p -benchmark -seconds 60)

Wine 1.7.2:
min= 0.75 avg= 25.94 max= 89.69

Wine 1.7.1 patched
min= 0.45 avg= 36.08 max= 134.31

Finally got it to compile properly.

Now, to install Skyrim and test.

For those who don’t want to bother compiling it:

Don’t forget the registry key:
HKCU/Software/Wine/Direct3D/CSMT = “enabled”
