I cannot get dxvk to work.

[AlastairGrowcott]

Wine version: wine-5.0-rc1 (Staging)
Winetricks version: 20181203-next

Every time I try and get dxvk to work with a game that has graphics problems, the game fails to start at all.

I have tried a few things but I am just guessing in the dark. I have tried to just get vulkaninfo.exe to run as a starting point. Here are my steps:

1) Use winecfg to create an empty prefix, set to Windows 7 and disable CSMT.
2) Use winetricks to install vulkanrt.
3) Run wine drive_c/windows/system32/vulkaninfo.exe

I have looked online for guides to troubleshooting wine vulkan, but all I find are links with people exclaiming how dxvk solved all their problems. It is causing me more than I started with!

I have no idea how to progress this as I have no idea how wine vulkan works or what its dependencies are or anything. I would be very grateful for any and all help offered.

Can you successfully run vulkaninfo on Linux?
What is the output of:

Code: Select all

glxinfo -B

It doesn't hurt to update your one year old winetricks version.

This makes forum posts much easier to parse.

See: doitsujin/dxvk Wiki: Common issues.
Ensure you have installed up-to-date 32-bit and 64-bit native Linux Vulkan dependencies.
Plus a very recent Mesa version (AMD) e.g. ≥19.2 or Nvidia driver (Nvidia) installed -e.g. ≥440.43.01.

Once you've updated to a supported / current version of winetricks.
The current release is 20190912 - but you are generally recommended to run with the winetricks Git master.
Then you will always have the most up-to-date versions of the verbs / updated download URL's.

There are rather clunky instructions for auto-updating winetricks, in my winetricks readme branch.

Once you have updated winetricks, then you can just do (per WINEPREFIX):

Code: Select all

winetricks dxvk

to install the latest version of dxvk - to that WINEPREFIX.
However the verb:

Code: Select all

winetricks dxvk

won't work (at present) - till my Pull request dxvk: integrate support for d9vk #1452 is approved.
So, in the meantime just use an older version of dxvk, e.g.

Code: Select all

winetricks dxvk146

You don't need to do:

Code: Select all

winetricks vulkanrt

- that will only serve to install the Windows version of the Vulkan graphics layer - you need the Linux Vulkan graphics layer + graphics driver.

Thankyou all for all your advice.

I am fairly sure I have installed all the Vulkan dependencies. vkcube works fine natively. I have also installed the very latest nVidia drivers within the last week.

I have updated winetricks following the link given. I installed dxvk146 and nothing else. I still get the same errors.

I just posted a lengthy reply and it has disappeared. Maybe it will show up later.

Following your clue about making sure I installed the 32 bit drivers, I did:

Code: Select all

sudo apt install libvulkan1:i386

DXVK now appears to be working. I still need to test the full game.

It would be good if winetricks checked for this dependency as it seems a fairly easy one to check.


Thanks again for everyone's help.

Aaahh.. The christmas spirit has come upon us. I am filled with joy that you actually got a reply to a DXVK problem on the WineHQ forum

[jkfloris]

It would be good if winetricks checked for this dependency as it seems a fairly easy one to check.

The winehq-staging package has an indirect dependency on libvulkan1:i386 on Debian
I don't know if this is different on Ubuntu.

Code: Select all

winehq-staging
» wine-staging:i386
  » wine-staging-i386:i386
    » libvkd3d1:i386
      » libvulkan1:i386

I don't know if this is different on Ubuntu.

Ubuntu does not seem to have this. I noticed a fresh install of Debian 10 had libvulkan1:amd64 installed, but Ubuntu 18.04 does not. Adding winehq-staging to debian10 also added libvulkan1:i386, but for Ubuntu neither libvulkan1:amd64 nor libvulkan1:i386 was added.

Running

Code: Select all

apt-cache rdepends libvulkan1

on a fresh Debian10 gives:

Code: Select all

libvulkan1
Reverse Depends:
  vulkan-validationlayers
  libwine-development
  libwine
  vulkan-validationlayers
  libvulkan-dev
  vulkan-tools
  libvkd3d1
  vkd3d-demos
  libglfw3
  mpv
  libmpv1
  mesa-vulkan-drivers
  libplacebo7
  gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad
  libglfw3-wayland

It seems from those packages the only thing i had installed (fresh VM with debian 10) was:

Code: Select all

ii  gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad:amd64        1.14.4-1+b1                          amd64        GStreamer plugins from the "bad" set

For a fresh install of Ubuntu 18.04 the list was like this:

Code: Select all

libvulkan1
Reverse Depends:
  libvulkan-dev
  vulkan-utils
  mesa-vulkan-drivers
  libvulkan-dev
  gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad
  vulkan-utils
  mesa-vulkan-drivers
  gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad
  libplacebo4
  libglfw3-wayland
  libglfw3

None of those were installed.

If i install gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad before winehq-staging on Ubuntu 18.04, libvulkan1:amd64 was added, but libvulkan1:i386 was not. So there seems to be a slight discrepency between Ubuntu and Debian there. PS. i did not test 19.10, so i dunno if that has changed, but afaik the packages is built the same with the same dependencies for both Ubuntu and Debian on the OBS buildserver.

Conclusion: Probably some OTHER package that is installed with winehq-staging does this. The dependency list AFTER installing winehq-staging lists wine-staging-i386 depending on libvulkan1:i386, but it does not seem to actually be enforced for Ubuntu.
