Wine with d3d command stream patches

xpander · 2013-09-05 18:07:55

hello,
i created pkgbuild for those who want to try it out
aur: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/wine-d3dstream
git:https://github.com/xpander69/xpander-ar … -d3dstream

aur git build:https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/wine-d3dstream-git/

read about it:
http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-de … 01106.html

also dont forget to add the registry key

HKCU/Software/Wine/Direct3D/CSMT =
"enabled"

benchmarks:

CSMT=enabled: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/287 … nabled.png
CSMT=disabled: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/287 … sabled.png

more benchmarks (with my 660TI this time):

the | exit in PKGBUILD is unneeded

yeah, but i used a lot of find and replace bundled with sed to do that.
but its working the way it is also, im lazy to get sed'ing again:D

edit:
btw, added benchmarks

you are a lifesaver, i wanted to use the patch but ironically i don't know to apply it, thanks

That's not irony.
Arghhh.

xpander, do you plan on uploading it to the AUR?

can do if someone helps me to generate nice list(md5sum without the file names) of md5sums of all those patch files
copy paste manually would take too much time.

msthev · 2013-09-06 07:32:53

$ sha256sum * | sed "s|^\(.*\)  .*$|  '\1'|"

Why that?
ls all patches, add them to the source array, execute updpkgsums, makepkg -S , upload.

By the way, all patches should be applied in prepare() and don't use $startdir, but $srcdir after you have added them to the source array. And use a loop with ls to applay the patches, it will be shorter.

An aur package would be really great!
Trying to get some more fps in cod4 here! We'll see, hope this will improve that!

It is just as easy as your method, so I don't see a problem (since everything is being done by hand; updating the sums from a script would be another story).

Why *that*?
http://mywiki.wooledge.org/ParsingLs
What you want is globs:

for f in "$srcdir"/*.patch; do
        patch -p1 <"$f"
done

@topic
I tested it with Starcraft II a couple of days ago and unfortunately I didn't notice any differences. I had a replay with a lot of units on the screen at the end of the game, and I just watched this one scene with various Wine configurations. Vanilla gave me ~20 fps on two cores and ~24 with one (using taskset), and it was the same with these patches applied. With the older patch for Nvidia and __GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS=1 it jumped to 30-35 fps.
Maybe it's because of my CPU; it would be great to see other people reporting their experiences. I'll try to test my config today/tomorrow (more extensively this time).

updpkgsums is such a script. It comes with pacman 4.1. Updating by hand works like your sed.

What you want is globs:

I know. When I write code, I use that. Somehow when talking about it I always mention ls.

Edit: I'm sorry, sometimes my posts are a too short and sound a bit harsh even though I don't mean it. Thats all from me on that topic.

By "from a script" I meant having an automated build process and calling updpkgsums from there. I didn't know about it, plus currently I have no access to Arch, so I wrote what I was sure would work.
No need to go deeper in any of these topics, so I'm moving on (and hopefully observing performance improvements by the command stream patches).

Thaodan · 2013-09-06 12:03:50

Does it work with:http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11674#c263 ?

msthev · 2013-09-06 12:44:46

Yes, that was the patch that gave me 50% fps increase (with __GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS=1).

It is, karol. Didn't you know that today, in the middle of 2013, a wish is the same thing as a right? So, ironically, I will now not return to my diamond chamber.

xpander · 2013-09-06 14:24:02

ok thanks for help all.
i submited the package now

I installed the patched Wine but can't find Direct3D/CSMT in the regedit in HK_Current_User. I haven't installed any DirectX version, though. On other threads people said that creating it is enough: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=107112 What kind of registry key do I have to create? Could someone just export that key into a *.reg file?

you just create it yourself
go to current user -> software -> wine
then create a new key named Direct3D
add a string with name CSMT into it
and set the value enabled

I tested the new patch with some Unreal3 engine games, the performance gains are phenomonal. Finally Unreal3 games FPS are on parity with Windows. Tested with Remember Me, Mass Effect 3 and the most recent Mortal Kombat game.

dgesh · 2013-09-06 16:56:05

Sorry if this is a stupid question:

When I try to install, it tries to pull multilib-gcc (I'm on 64bit) but this is in conflict with gcc and it asks me whether I'd like to remove gcc, which it can't do as stuff depends on it.

Looking at the PKGBUILD it seems to be requiring both gcc and multilib-gcc. Is this the case or am I mistaken?

Or is it simply ok to let it remove gcc, install multilib-gcc and get this installed?

Sorry for the noobiness, this stuff is a bit beyond my understanding and I'm wary of breaking everything.

dgesh · 2013-09-06 17:15:21

Ok, answering my own question, I did:

pacman -S multilib-gcc-libs multilib-gcc

After which installing wine-d3dstream via the AUR proceeded fine.

nierro · 2013-09-06 17:50:49

On my ati hd5650, mesa-git repo (so everything -git) with open source driver, great regressions: call of duty 4 would run within 50-200 fps, and now it is down to 30-120.
Tried with directx9 from ms and from a clean wineprefix. No difference.
Reverting back to unpatched wine.

Primoz · 2013-09-06 21:03:45

How long does this take to build? I've been building this for over an hour, and it feels like it's going in circles...

BTW I don't have a slow CPU or whatever.

xpander · 2013-09-06 21:09:54

took about 6 minutes for me on AMD FX-8320 @ 4,0ghz, with make j8

you are maybe compiling on one core?
with 4 cores it should take approximately 15 min depending ofc how fast your cpu is really.

Primoz · 2013-09-06 21:16:48

How can I set how many cores could be used for compiling? And it finally compiled, so I guess I was a bit to fast.
But still it took way to long...

Anyway, let's hope it does something (for my hardware) so this time wasn't completely wasted.
