Wait does it seriously need manual removal?
I guess I can just delete the wine prefix folder but still! This should be illegal. When I uninstall the game I don’t want to have the most intrusive part of it still installed on my system.

This post is more of a loose question. I can play the game just fine without RT. But still if the hardware is there and performance (As I can see in Windows) can also be good then it might be worth trying to solve this issue.

I tried AMDVLK but then the whole PC crashed when launching the game…
Fingers crossed for RADV then.

Thanks! Those are pretty ok numbers imo! For an AMD’s first gen RT card 40 FPS in 1440p is very ok. Ghostwire should be less demanding so it also should have around 40 FPS or more.

With Proton it should perform just as well

Exactly! It should, from what I heard Wine/Proton/Mesa developers strive to keep performance as close as possible to native or if possible even surpass it. So every time game doesn’t run as well on Wine like it does on Windows there is something that can be improved.
I don’t know anything about programming GPU drivers but I want to help with debugging as much as I can.

The performance difference is way to big, and a weird CPU behavior. Most games run with very minimal performance impact on Linux. Some games can even run better on Linux than on Windows and I’m not talking about native versions. Most developers don’t care about Linux at all.
Currently 100% of my gaming is done on Linux. I only switch to Windows partition to test, compare and diagnose issues with Proton/Wine.

Do you have Vulkan-radeon installed?

Yes:

$ pacman -Q | grep -i radeon                                                                                       
lib32-vulkan-radeon 1:24.3.4-1
vulkan-radeon 1:24.3.4-1

$ ls /usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/  
radeon_icd.i686.json  radeon_icd.x86_64.json

Any errors running vulkaninfo?

I’m not sure what do you mean, I can run vulkaninfo but I thought it’s only for displaying info about vulkan. Can’t see any errors there.

Your cpu is old, I wouldnt expect much more than 40 fps

True, but I’d be happy if I get even 30. Except I don’t event get 15… Besides if CPU on Windows hovers around 40% and GPU is 99% then I’d guess that CPU is not a bottleneck. That weird 100% CPU spikes must be related to either configuration or driver issue.

I do have a 6700xt and can test with cyberpunk for RT if you want

Thanks, I tried some other games like Quake RTX. Portal RTX, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and I feel like performance there is very similar to that on the Windows. Defienetly no CPU spikes or random freezes.
I don’t have cyberpunk (waiting for PC upgrade) so I can’t compere but you can post the results if you want, it can be useful.

Yes I was comparing on/off since you can toggle it in game.

That option works, thanks!

Yes, HDR is enabled in Plasma but desktop looks fine. Only game is washed out. As for gamescope I just enabled it in Heroic so no additional options. But with or without gamescope it looks the same.

Looks like Elon finally forces x down everyone’s throat and every twitter.com link redirects to x.com. (Funny enough I tried Firefox Nighty and there is no redirect so maybe this is random based on UA) Also I’m not 100% sure but enhanced tracking protection probably breaks x.com because there are still API calls to twitter.com under the hood, since those are different domains it just gets blocked. Solution is either twitter fixes their shitty code or Mozilla adds exception.

Valid point. I forgot about 4K… I run just 125% scale so it doesn’t bother me at all. Well it’s kinda funny that both protocols are broken in that regard.

I run 2 monitors with different DPIs and X11 works without an issue. Can’t say the same about wayland where scaling still has so many bugs it’s just unusable.
