[Question] Proton: Wayland Vulkan driver enablement inside bundled WINE 9.0 through a registry key?

[GrabbenD]

Here's all requirements for enabling Vulkan rendering in Wayland from my understanding:

1. Enable this feature manually:

   • Create the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Drivers\Graphics="x11,wayland" (Ref: https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/3909#note_46166)

2. Confirm the right environment variables are used:

   • Unset the DISPLAY env. variable, e.g, DISPLAY= wine ..., to force the use of the Wayland driver
   • Make sure your compositor populated WAYLAND_DISPLAY to DBUS, e.g. WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-0 (Ref: https://www.winehq.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/wine-devel@winehq.org/thread/5GQWFP7MC6GQTL2KLAV6F6RUMOE3QULI/)

3. Use 9.0-RC1/GIT of WINE:

   • Squeezing into Wine 9.0-rc1 before the code freeze was more Wine Wayland improvements. Vulkan on Wine Wayland is now usable (Ref: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Wine-9.0-rc1-Released)

This leads me to my question: How do you create the required registry key from step 1 in Proton-TKG?

[cirk2]

Either manually in the regedit gui (wine regedit). Or by crating a file with the content:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Drivers]
"Graphics"="x11,wayland"

And then import it with wine regedit myfile.reg

[GrabbenD]

Thanks for taking a look @cirk2!

Bear with me as I'm quite confused 🙂 I haven't used WINE in years and I don't have it in my PATH as I compile ./proton-tkg which I use to start my games.

• Does wine regedit actually modify the registry for all Proton Prefixes?
• Is there any way to verify that WINE is successfully using Vulkan Wayland?

[cirk2]

wine regedit only operates in the prefix it's executed in. Verification of using vulkan is possible by using something interacting with xorg windows like xprop or xeyes which will only interact with xwayland windows. If you use sway as window manager you can add for_window [shell="xwayland"] title_format "[XWayland] %title" to your config for a handy tag in the title.

You will also have to tell the configure scripts to enable the wayland driver in the _configure_userargs options:

_configure_userargs64="--with-wayland --with-x"
_configure_userargs32="--with-wayland --with-x"

in your wine-tkg.cfg (or rather proton-tkg.cfg when building proton-tkg).

[GrabbenD]

Has anyone managed to get this to work with Steam + Proton? Been trying for hours but Halo Infinite refuses to start (and the logs have no indication of why):

Steps:

• I moved proton-tkg/proton-tkg-profiles/advanced-customization.cfg to proton-tkg.cfg and applied:

  _configure_userargs64="--with-x --with-gstreamer --with-xattr --with-wayland"
  _configure_userargs32="--with-x --with-gstreamer --with-xattr --with-wayland"

  • I've also tried adding --with-vulkan
  • _Specifying WINE repository manually made no difference either: _custom_wine_source="https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine"_
• Build dependencies are installed (in my Arch Linux+Sway setup which uses mesa-git):

  $ makepkg --clean --cleanbuild --syncdeps --install --force

• proton-tkg is build with $ ./proton-tkg.sh
  • Option 2. Valve Proton Experimental is selected.
  • GStreamer is forcefully rebuild.
  • Old Proton prefixes are deleted.
  • I manually edit regedit in the WINE prefix of Halo Infinite:

    $ echo 'Starting regedit with bundled WINE..'; \
    export PROTON="$HOME/.steam/root/compatibilitytools.d/proton_tkg_experimental.wine.8.0.20231128.r0.g83a713801b9" && \
    export WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.steam/root/steamapps/compatdata/1240440/pfx" && \
    export WINE="$PROTON/files/bin/wine64" && \
    $PROTON/files/bin/regedit

    Here I create the Graphics key manually (under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Drivers\ path) with String Value of: x11,wayland

• I start $ steam-native and select the correct Proton version under Halo Infinite > Properties > Compatibility > [X] Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool: TKG-proton-...
• Lastly I manually unset DISPLAY variable in: Halo Infinite > Properties > General > Launch Options: DISPLAY= %command%
• Game appears to be launching in the console but then quits. If I remove DISPLAY= from Launch Options the game starts but $ swaymsg -t get_tree says it's xwayland

Halo Infinite is free to play on Stream if anyone wants to try this! Am I missing something?

[GrabbenD]

I've used advanced-customization.cfg but it looks like this uses a old version of WINE?

$ echo 'Running Proton..'; \
    export PROTON="$HOME/.steam/root/compatibilitytools.d/proton_tkg_experimental.wine.8.0.20231128.r0.g83a713801b9" && \

    $PROTON/files/bin/wine --version

#_proton_branch="experimental_8.0"
_custom_wine_source="https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine.git"

Feels like no matter what I try I always get WINE 8.0 (20231128) instead of WINE 9.0 (20231214) Any tips @Tk-Glitch?

Update 1: just confirmed this works without Proton (in Lutris)

[Tk-Glitch]

@GrabbenD You're building against proton experimental's wine, which is 8.0 based currently. You'll want to build against upstream to get 9.0.

[Tk-Glitch]

However upstream wine shouldn't be able run halo infinite due to its dependency on shared resources, not available upstream. So using Valve's 8.0 with shared resources and xwayland is pretty much the only way to play that game currently. When proton 9.0 based drops, we'll try to port shared resources over to upstream.

[GrabbenD]

You'll want to build against upstream to get 9.0.

What's the correct way of doing this @Tk-Glitch? Do I need to specify something else?

# wine-tkg-git/proton-tkg/proton-tkg.cfg
#_proton_branch="experimental_8.0"
_custom_wine_source="https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine.git"
_plain_version="master"

However upstream wine shouldn't be able run halo infinite

Thanks for pointing it out! Apart from Halo Infinite, I'm also trying other games like High On Life which works with Wine 9.0 in Lutris :)

[Tk-Glitch]

I have added a toggle for use with compatible trees: https://github.com/Frogging-Family/wine-tkg-git/commit/efda785ee8c0169273636336ccd106bd3f3ee7ff This will only enable the flags to enforce related checks on the wine side, so if anything is missing it'll throw an error instead of silently ignoring wayland support.

[Tk-Glitch]

Just run ./proton-tkg.sh and select the 4th option to build against mainline with _wayland_driver="true" set in your wine-tkg-git/customization.cfg.
