What build is your version of the game?

Svyatpro commented 6 years ago

Latest Steam version. I can give you WineD3D build that is able to run this game.

pachuco commented 6 years ago

Sure do.

pachuco commented 6 years ago

This game runs out of memory before starting a race on my rig. Maybe your build of wined3d wrapper with all its dependencies works better.

Svyatpro commented 6 years ago

Wait some time, this should be WineD3D issue when using PBA patches

Svyatpro commented 6 years ago

Try this WineD3D_3.20_CSMT_noPBA.zip

pachuco commented 6 years ago

Eh, behaves same way for me, with either wined3d. I try two versions: 2016 pre-release and 2018 recent. Both will pop up an OUT OF MEMORY MessageBox. The difference is that 2016 one will show 3d garage. Both are d3d11 reliant.

As for the two function mentioned in OP post, I have implemented them as dummy so far, as to satisfy dependencies.

Svyatpro commented 6 years ago

/3GB switch may help.

pachuco commented 6 years ago

It does indeed help. both versions will start, though unplayably slow on my end :p Regarding the functions, the game probably makes light use of them, so best with own test after a non-dummy implementation is made.

I can also build WineD3D with PBA patches which will dramatically increase performance on NVIDIA cards on XP. Unfortunately, only NVIDIA supports OpenGL 4.4+ on XP. Neither AMD nor Intel doesn't.

Are they different from fdossena builds?

Svyatpro commented 6 years ago

Sure, very much dufferent

pachuco commented 6 years ago

Toying around with ocapi's wined3d implementation, it does seem to be faster than fdossena build(at least, with native NVIDIA opengl). Doesn't play along with mesa3d softemu, though.

Svyatpro commented 6 years ago

That is our build with PBA patches. You can try this build. It is WineD3D 3.19 PBA with some 3.20 backports. WineD3D_3.19_PBA_3.20backports.zip

https://comminos.com/posts/2018-02-21-wined3d-profiling.html Might explain why it doesn't like mesa3d.

I think we should move talking about wined3d elsewhere, and keep this for the two console functions.
