dxvk

Post by walk5 »

After a new install and a mistake getting wine to install, I have wine running. I am trying to reinstall zbrush. I am following the recommendations on given on winehq database infor for zbrush. It all worked before. Used winetricks to install dlls and change to win8. The dxvk will not load and has an error. I then tried to use debian wget download and that failed as well.

HELP. I am so frustrated I could throw my computer.

I downloaded the dxvk file. and I am not sure what to do next. I do not understand the readme directions. I can not find the .wine-prefix.

I am very new to this and it is all so confusing.

I'm looking into this and something seems screwy with wine and/or winetricks at the moment so maybe put off pulling your hair out. :)

It might help if you could post what commands you tried along with any output or error messages. https://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#How_can_I_g ... tput.29.3F

Code: Select all

And using code tags would be nice.

I am sorry for not being detailed enough. Frustrated.

First we did a fresh install of kubuntu 19.10. Then when it finished checked for and installed all the updates. Then we installed wine from the terminal using the ppa. That installed great. Then used

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install winetricks
This also installed great. This is where all heck breaks lose. On the winehq appdb I found how some have installed Zbrush 2020 through wine. It has suggested certain corefronts to help the program run. So I open winetricks. Click add a prefix. Thenn add dll or component. Everyone of the suggested corefronts worked the first time I added them. After the new install all loaded great except the dsvk. An error pops up. I was unable to get the error so that I can post it here.

Then I downloaded the tar.gz file for dxvk so that I can just add it. I am not sure how to use it.

I hope this is enough information. I have not tried anything else. Not sure how to proceed.

Update winetricks to the latest version

Code: Select all

sudo winetricks --self-update
Install dxvk

Code: Select all

winetricks -q dxvk
If you get an error you can read it.
