Wine 2.6 and CSMT question

[fjfrackiewicz]

Now that Wine 2.6 brings in CSMT from Wine Staging, how will we be able to turn it on or off? The reason I am asking is because sometimes CSMT affects games in a negative way and it would be nice to have a setting like in Wine Staging where you select a checkbox to turn this feature on or off...

Quick inspection of source code...
It's moved to a registry key:

Code: Select all

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct3D]
"csmt"=dword:00000000

or

Code: Select all

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\AppDefaults\app.exe\Direct3D]
"csmt"=dword:00000000

Should be the ticket...

Hi Bob,

Thanks for the helpful reply:)

Two questions:

1. Which of those settings would turn it on or off globally?

2. What do I change the dword setting to? 1 or 0000001?

1. They are the same!! The second example will only take effect when Wine is running app.exe
2. Those values are both the same. The regedit import format is as I've listed above...
   See Registry Value Types ...

I'm on my phone - so I'm being a bit brief!

@fjfrackiewicz,

It's actually apparently very early/ immature support for CMST in vanilla Wine...
So Wine Staging will still be required to get increased performance from CMST...

See WineHQ Forums: Direct3D "CSMT" in wine-2.6 ...
