I ended up installing it again, and I can confirm it still works fine[*]. In fact, I've been playing it since my previous post, more than 4 hours ago... :S

Tested with Wine v4.0 Staging.



[*] Though this time around I had to install a couple of winetricks in order for the fonts to render properly in-game. At frist I tried with corefonts but it didn't do the trick, so I ended up installing a bunch more (devenum, quartz, d3dx9_42, and d3dcompiler_47, though probably many of them aren't really needed) and it finally worked.

not really.

Some people said its due to engine. But Grim Dawn (which use the same) is working without noticeable issues, so - Im not so sure anymore

It's been a long time since I played it, but I don't remember there being any annoying jerkiness like that. However it has been patched a few times since then & it's possible that some change was made that's now causing issues with Wine.

Are you on a (much) faster PC than mine (Core2 3.1 GHz)?

Maybe the anniversary edition is not as optimized as the old retail version, requires a faster PC and the minimal system requirements have not been adjusted for it? So my PC just would be too slow to play it. :(

Sorry for wasting your time! :P
I've lost a lot of sleep during the last few nights after reading this thread. And I'm just playing again. :S

I'm on a Core i5-760 2.8 GHz desktop. My CPU gets a much higher mark on this comparison, but e.g. yours seems better at single-threaded operations. Not sure how does Titan Quest operate...


PS: Disregard my last night report. I've redownloaded the last version of the game (yesterday I had an old installer + a couple of patches) and it worked flawlessly out of the box. No winetricks needed.

i7 4700HQ, 8GB ram, 850M via bumblebee (I know, no need to remember how terrible it is). Random lags exist (I mean - completely random and unrelated to what happens on the screen. Game may run like a charm during intense fight, but lag out while Im in cleared out field)

I mean one of the listed features is improved performance & stability, so I find it kinda weird that it'd require higher specs. Of course it's possible that they've made a blunder at some point along the way.

I kinda doubt your CPU is the issue, unless it's something to do with an ISA extension. In fact I'm pretty sure I tested titan quest at some point on a system with integrated intel graphics and one of these low power (U postfix) Core i chips that you find in thin ultrabooks and slim fanless PCs. These aren't remarkably faster than a 3.1 GHz C2D.

EDIT: Sigh, I can't see anything in the main menu. Splash & intro cinematic plays and then it's black screen time.

EDIT2: Eh right, this was one of these games that doesn't like having 8GB of video memory.. set VideoMemorySize to 512 and I see the menu.

EDIT3: I played for a few hours last night, and the game ran just fine. I think there might've been a few little lag spikes at some point, something that could've been annoying in a very tough fight but I think these happened around transition zones.

Added, thanks.




Looks good, but it would be great if you can add a link to the old report, https://www.gog.com/forum/general/the_judas_does_this_run_in_wine_thread_v1173/post111. E.G. Alien Shooter + Expansions.

Also, do you know what specific Intel HD it is? I believe they vary in their capabilities.

That would be bug 39402 (which is Staged). E.G. sound should work in Staging 4.0.


Looking good. You need the AppDB line. As it doesn't have an entry over there:
WineHQ AppDB link: [N/A]

Also, what driver version are you using with that?
Wine version would be better as Staging 4.0-rc2 or Wine Staging 4.0-rc2 if you prefer. Similar to your Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude.

Are there specific bugs you are working around with DXVK? I know Wine's DX11 is still significantly incomplete. I believe, possibly wrongly, that DX10 should be further along.

Also what specific Wine build are you using here?

That's fine. I will ignore any one with a custom Wine build going forward. I had intended to respond to this much sooner as well. I had a bit of a break, unrelated, from the GOG forums and then it took forever before I got caught up in the thread.

Better performance due to esync

If it didn't work then I wouldn't have released a wrapper for it. It just starts minimised unless you run it in a virtual desktop.

I'm not going to re-test it yet again but I'd expect DX9 mode to work with regular Wine too, although a little worse as this game also benefits from esync.

At this point I'm just treating DXVK as a normal part of Wine; at present Wine's builtin D3D10/11 implementations usually perform too poorly to consider and often have other issues too.

I have since updated the wrapper to Wine 4.0 though.

Sorry, but not sure. Only enigmatic "Intel® HD Graphics for 4th Generation Intel® Processors". I was looking for some exact code or sth, but it's a huge mess with these chipsets, never discovered.

lshw answers with sth like:

That seems to be the GT1 Haswell GPU: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Graphics_Technology#Haswell
