running world of tanks

Post by kickass1955 »

i have a issue in world of tanks and i do not know where to ask this question.
in windows i get around 125 to 165 fps running the game.
in lubuntu 20.04 using the latest wine and game i get 25 fps or less at normal settings.
if i turn off all graphics settings, i get 75 to 120 fps but makes the game very generic to play .
is there a way to improve the fps at normal settings? i have a asus gtx 580 video card, intel I7 cpu
12 gig of ram. i have no issues in windows. i would like to get the same or close results in ubuntu.
plz help or direct me to right group to address this issue. thank you. i run wine as windows 10

Just a fellow user. I know you need Vulkan and vkd3d to get things working good. Then maybe "winetrick dxvk". If you're all set in this department, please ignore. Good luck.

I think there is a problem with your video card drivers. Do you use the Nvidia drivers?
i have a asus gtx 580 video card
This video card is supported by version 390 of the Nvidia driver. On Ubuntu, you can install this version with:

Code: Select all

sudo apt install nvidia-driver-390
Please, make sure the 32-bit drivers are also installed:

Code: Select all

sudo apt install libnvidia-gl-390:i386
When these packages are already installed, post the output of:

Code: Select all

I'm not quite sure if your GPU supports vulkan.
Can you install the following packages to see if vulkan is possible?

Code: Select all

sudo apt install vulkan-tools libvulkan1:i386
vulkaninfo --summary

Right, it looks like the readme for 390.157 does not list Vulkan, but other readmes for other versions do.

390.157:
