How can I install 535.29.06 drivers in Arch? I couldn't find that nvidia version. Do you meant 545.29.06?

[MichaelGoodale]

Yes, you need to use 545.29.06

[Obamium69]

I'm a little lost😅. I've built and used the fork from @MichaelGoodale (https://github.com/MichaelGoodale/wine-tkg-git). When I start the game, it has a red tint as described in the previous comments. However, I'm using driver version 545.29.06.

[ammon-github]

Thanks to @Saancreed and @MichaelGoodale's effort, I also have built successfully by using the fork from @MichaelGoodale! My environment is "Ubuntu22.04LTS" with Lutris and "Nvidia 545.29.06". At first, the same red tint issue as @MrDuartePT, and @Obamium69 happened. It was due to the wrong versions of DIVX, VKD3D, and NVAPI in Lutris. After using the DIVX, VKD3D, and NVAPI of this "WINE-TKG" build, everything looks fine now.

[xdiban]

@MichaelGoodale I'm unable to build your fork in Arch Linux. Am I missing any extra dependency?

Thanks for the tip. I've forgot to change to DIVX, VKD3D, and NVAPI versions of this "WINE-TKG" build. Now its working.

@MichaelGoodale I'm unable to build your fork in Arch Linux. Am I missing any extra dependency?

I think something about a folder error when building dxvk, it struggles to change folder to dxvk-master, then the omm patch fails due to a bunch of dependant files missing in src (apparently, there should be other project sources or symlinks to them, but they are not created because something tripped over). I've spent an obscene of time on this so far and close to building each subproject manually at this point.

could someone with a working build with hag patches of proton add me on discord and dm it please therealmattscreative thanks!

[MrDuartePT]

@Saancreed I gonna try to build wine-staging-9.0-rc4 but the patch seems to apply without problems

[MrDuartePT]

Well testing with wine-9.0-rc4 prove to be a suceess and seems to be more stable in game:

Also in cybenpunk and wither if you edit the user config files you can force it to use Nvidia Reflex: on + boost with DLSS-G on

Note: After about 2h+ of gaming just crash once

Works cool on 2070! For anyone having issues with commands/files/directories during build, don't forget to set your distro in proton-tkg.cfg, for script be able to install build-time dependencies (see Wiki).

I have two questions.

1. Is there any way to compensate lack of VRR (Nvidia GPU + FreeSync monitor) due to turned off VSync? I have much more FPS in every DLSS mode, but moving picture is not as smooth :-(

For example, on Windows mod's author recommends to force VSync via Nvidia control panel. In theory, would externally-forced VSync break Reflex, Frame Generation, or both? And is it even possible for Vulkan app on Linux? I only know that compositor like Picom can VSync my web browser, but I believe it's totally different thing - Firefox isn't a Vulkan game.

2. What is the correct way to force Reflex mode to "Enabled + Boost" through config file? Make UserSettings.json read-only?

With Frame Generation enabled, Reflex setting is greyed out at "On" position.

When config is writable, and if edited manually, game restores it to "Enabled" on launch. When read-only, changes made are not reflected in game settings. Is it fine? Works anyway?

[hotcapy]

Yes, I did - just like on your screenshot. And using same environment variables.

Didn't you forget to also import registry file, like described on Nexus mod page? You can do it with Wine's regedit. In case of Steam, you should be able to get there via Protontricks.

My setup is a bit different. I have GOG version, extracted from offline installers with innoextract. To make prefix management simpler, I run it with Lutris runtime. So, there is no Steam in my case. But all of it should not matter in any way, there is no difference whether it's Steam, Lutris or plain Wine.

I'll try to describe my steps in detail. Perhaps too much detail. I hope it can help :-)

1. Make proton-tkg.

$ git clone https://github.com/MichaelGoodale/wine-tkg-git.git $ cd wine-tkg-git/proton-tkg $ nano proton-tkg.cfg _nomakepkg_dep_resolution_distro="archlinux" $ ./proton-tkg.sh

If asked, agree to continue w/o Steam installed. Choose option "4" for Wine version. When asked, agree to apply userpatches.

2. Copy resulted build to required system directory.

Steam: $ cp -R /home/user/wine-tkg-git/proton-tkg/built/proton_tkg_9.0rc5.r4.gf445af0d /home/user/.steam/root/compatibilitytools.d/ Lutris: $ cp -R /home/user/wine-tkg-git/proton-tkg/built/proton_tkg_9.0rc5.r4.gf445af0d/files /home/user/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine/proton_tkg_9.0rc5.r4.gf445af0d

3. ONLY for Lutris.

Copy patched dxvk, dxvk-nvapi and vkd3d-proton from proton-tkg build to Lutris runtime folders.

Files from lib/wine and lib64/wine should go to x32 (dxvk, dxvk-nvapi) / x86 (vkd3d-proton) and x64 folders respectively. This way: /home/user/.local/share/lutris/runtime/{dxvk,dxvk-nvapi,vkd3d-proton}/version/{x32,x86,x64}

4. Prepare Wine prefix.

Select proton-tkg build in Steam/Lutris. Set DXVK_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 and WINEHAGS=1 environment variables.

ONLY for Lutris: select custom versions of dxvk, dxvk-nvapi, vkd3d-proton.

If required, backup your game/configuration file/saves/screenshots. Boot clean Wine prefix. Set Windows 11. If required, restore your backup. If using mods (red4ext, CET), install d3dcompiler_47 and vcrun2022 with Protontricks (Steam) or Winetricks (Lutris).

5. Install dlssg-to-fsr3 mod.

Copy dlssg_to_fsr3_amd_is_better.dll and nvngx.dll to bin/x64. Run Wine's regedit and import DisableNvidiaSignatureChecks.reg file.

Steam: Protonricks > Cyberpunk 2077 > Run regedit > Regisry > Import Registry File... > DisableNvidiaSignatureChecks.reg Lutris: Wine registry > Regisry > Import Registry File... > DisableNvidiaSignatureChecks.reg

6. Remove old cache files from game's directory.

vkd3d-proton.cache, vkd3d-proton.cache.write files and GLCache folder from bin/x64.

7. Test!

Run the game, go to Settings. Disable VSync in Video. Enable DLSS Frame Generation in Graphics. It will reset selected DLSS mode, revert it back if desired. Load your save. Play :-)

Enjoy the extra fps 😉

[tuxrinku]

Thank you ! I'm trying to make it work with lutris but somehow the nvidia reflex and frame generation settings are still greyed out. I tried to set vkd3d to manual but then the game doesn't start. Anyone has a clue ?

EDIT : Okay I managed, I just had to create a custom folder in the runtimes lutris folder and put the dlls there. So now everythying works fine, except the input lag is pretty big and there's some stuttering despite the double fps, but I assume this is to be expected.

[hotcapy]

I followed your instructions and I always get the same error.

Does this error occur only when dlssg-to-fsr3 mod's dlls installed to bin/x64? Or generally, with clean CP77 as well? Game works with usual unpatched Wine build?

I just had to create a custom folder in the runtimes lutris folder and put the dlls there.

Yes, that's correct. For example, Lutris uses vX.Y.Z folders by default. So, when I make latest-git dxvk, dxvk-nvapi and vkd3d-proton versions, I simply add current commit number to it's name. But you can use absolutely whatever you like, just copy-paste it's name to version field in Lutris configuration window. v2.11.1_12f561c, v0.6.4_proton-tkg, reflex_patched, etc.

I also like to start games headless from terminal after they are configured, like that: LUTRIS_SKIP_INIT=1 lutris lutris:rungameid/X

there's some stuttering despite the double fps, but I assume this is to be expected.

Disabled VSync, especially if you had VRR configured (FreeSync or GSync monitor), costs lots of smoothness, unfortunately. But I'm happy, because now I able to play with DLAA and Ultra RT at ~60 FPS. And it works cool together with 8GB & Normal-RT-Full configs from "Ultra Plus" Nexus mod. Game shutters on camera movement for sure, but not too bad for my old 20 generation GPU.

Strangely, I really liked 2.1 update (unlike pretty all previous ones). Despite memory issues, there are much less lags with NPCs and cars behavior/physics, at least for me. And higher FPS helps even more.

I'm sorry for late reply. Glad you managed to fix everything :-)

Thank you so much, it finally works! I'm on an LTS release, so getting build dependencies wasn't really an option.

Stable ~100 FPS with Path Tracing and everything on max. :+1:

[FakeMichau]

It's possible to make that work on AMD GPUs if nvapi spoofs Ada and _nvngx.dll from the Nvidia driver is placed in system32. I also adjusted those HAGS patches to work on the official Proton, they are located in my fork if anyone is interested.

Thank you for the update ! However it appears WINEHAGS=1 doesn't work while it was working fine with the rc5 build

[MrDuartePT]

@Gravechapa just to warn you about one thing. Your gpu detection patch breaks wine explorer.exe run from terminal at least on wayland on the igpu. I can only open wine default apps from explorer shell (virtual desktop), like winecfg and other. But funny games open just fine. But If I force the prefix to use only the dgpu wine explorer start working normal, winecfg and other start working normal no need for the explorer shell.

EDIT: Without the gpu detection patch DLSS Frame Gen stop working. I think I gonna use the ProtonGE custom builder I what to try it our just use @FakeMichau one, btw thanks for updating the hangs patches.

One time I was trying to do it as well but didn't what to bump proton beading edge to wine 9.0-rc5

EDIT2: Proton-GE dosent seems to have the bledingedge branch I gonna use LFX2

That's strange, I will check that. Thanks for the info.

[tuxrinku]

Another thing that I found out in your build is that it doesn't work with gsync/freesync. When I use a different wine build (GE for exemple) I have the gsync indicator on. I don't when I use this build. It's not a big problem at all, I just felt like letting you know.

[miramax001]

maybe others run into the same problem as me,

I didn't understand why it didn't work for me even though I had done everything indicated here: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/7361#issuecomment-1891017248

The problem was the proton version

The proton_tkg_9.0rc5.r4.gf445af0d version works

The proton_tkg_9.0.r0.gcab93f47 version doesn't work for me

Those are my launch options on Steam for CP2077

I don’t know if cyberpunk support dualsense sometimes steam runtime can treat the controller as a Xbox one when using a custom wine. Try launch the game from big picture after Steam detect is a dualsense.

Hey.

I'm using Arch and followed what you laid out to build proton-tkg. For some reason I'm running into a merge conflict and I believe the file that is having the merge conflict is inaccessible because its a temporary file. (Brought in by the bash script? Sorry I am way out of my depth here!) I tried to use the non staging version and still ran into this same issue. I compiled proton from the master branch and it worked fine, but the one I need (MichaelGoodale's fork) wont work. Ill post my prepare.log in case you might be able to shed some light on what to do?

Use the master branch version of wine-tkg, copy the commits on proton-tkg.sh from MichaelGoodale's branch, and the proton patches (do not copy wine hags patches, get the one from the FakeMichau's repository) After that build proton.

Replying to https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/7361#issuecomment-1950884145

Hey @gilvbp, thanks for the reply. I saw you posted a built version on dropbox but I really wanted to get it working myself so I appreciate the help.

I have cloned the master branch version and then copied in the changes from MichaelGoodale's branch. I made sure to leave out the winehags patches they had in ~/wine-tkg-userpatches/ . From FakeMichau's Proton-LFX2 repo, I found the wine-hags-spoof.patch ... is this the correct repo and patch I should be putting into /wine-tkg-userpatches/ before I build proton?

Im way out of my depth but eager to learn. Sorry if I made and wrong assumptions on what to do.

EDIT: I ended up compiling proton how I detailed above in my comment. It went much further into the process but failed applying the wine-hags-spoof.mypatch , going to try and figure out about why that is.

Replying to #7361 (comment)

Those two commits where the changes I had done previously - I ran diff against the files to be sure. Turns out I was building the wrong version though. I was trying to build wine upstream from proton instead of proton experimental bleeding edge. Thanks for your help @gilvbp !

I couldn't locate the GLCache folder in ~/bin/x64, but I found these instead:

[sekhon@arch x64]$ find ~ -type d -name GLCache
/home/sekhon/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/shadercache/1091500/nvidiav1/GLCache
/home/sekhon/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/0/pfx/GLCache
/home/sekhon/.cache/nvidia/GLCache
[sekhon@arch x64]$

I believe the first one is the shader cache for cyberpunk2077 and the last one is the global cache. I think the 2nd one might be to do with proton but I am unsure. Should I delete any or all of these instead?

EDIT: I got the dlssg-to-fsr3 mod working, and it increased the framerate quite a bit, but I would randomly stutter and having flashing frames so I just opted to keep frame gen off 😂

Does this mean that soon we won't have to patch this in order to use this mod? Or are the hags-patches a show-stopper here for the foreseeable future?

You only need to keep the omm patches (despite dxvk, PR still pending). If you want, you can use/or check changes on my wine-tkg here: https://github.com/gilvbp/wine-tkg-git/tree/ll2_test.

I generated the last wine proton upstream version (proton_tkg_9.3.r7.g21b92f96): https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/8c5fhzvfu9uqjdrfkbfm7/proton_tkg_9.3.r7.g21b92f96.tar.xz?rlkey=bkc81cd0drtxajka5u60wsrji&dl=0

@Saancreed Thank you for the wine 9.3 updated patch :+1:

[Saancreed]

OMM patches aren't technically required; they are (quite) a niche feature that's used only by one game that I know about (Cyberpunk 2077) and their performance uplift is mostly limited to Nvidia Ada GPUs. Feel free to drop them (though I'll probably keep maintaining them in my dxvk-nvapi and vkd3d-proton branches).

One of my HAGS-related patches has been upstreamed (https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/4857) and is available in mainline Wine since release 9.3; if you're building patched Proton from Valve's 9.0 tree you should probably use the updated one from that MR), the other one that expands the implementation of D3DKMTQueryAdapterInfo is still required to be applied separately (that's the one I shared on LGD Discord which @gilvbp uploaded here: https://github.com/gilvbp/wine-tkg-git/blob/e9b4e2e19895492349f6b83b7852b9cf9ab4135c/wine-tkg-git/wine-tkg-userpatches/hags.mypatch). I don't intend to upstream this in its current form; checking the environment variable feels too hackish and faking this to be always enabled confuses DLSSG if you don't have this mod installed.

Thank you for the wine 9.3 updated patch 👍

You're welcome :frog::heart:

Thanks so much for the 9.3 version and in general moving this along. That version finally got my Hogwarts Legacy install into playable and sufficiently enjoyable to run territory.
