This wine version conclude rc series and have many improvements if you come from wine 3.0

Nier Automata

Last test with Pentium G3258 @ 4.1ghz + Artic Cooling Alpine 11 Plus

With Core i3 8350K Tri-Core @ 5.0ghz + CoolerMaster Hyper T4

About video with wine 2.13 will be possible recording with nvenc using wine regular dx11 implementation but actually using dxvk + faudio performance improve around 20 to 30fps depending scene

But now is not possible recording with nvenc because gpu up to 100% and when occur this situation video file recording have bad video and sound

With SSR* cpu recording stay better, sound stay ok and fps indicator appear well (give a better idea about performance)

*With obs give worst results using gpu or cpu compared SSR

*** Input devices - HID game controllers are supported in the XInput and Raw Input APIs. - An SDL driver is implemented to make SDL game controllers available through the HID interface. I don't understand much about this. will I be able to play with my wireless xbox360 controllers out of the box using wine?? currently I have to struggle with xboxdrv, xdumbinput, etc.

Good question. BTW Does X have any support for emulating X pointer with gamepads? I've been unsuccessful so far.

Yes they will work. Many other game pads will just work as well, as long as they work with SDL.

The second videos is stuttering a lot, it sould be much more fluid. Any idea why this happens? Frame rate seems to be ok. I've seen this on my machine as well but always thought it is related to 4k in xwayland.

Have you tried following ArchWiki's guide? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php...trolling_mouse
Try changing both "StartKeysEnabled" and "StartMouseEnabled" to True also make sure that MatchDevicePath is pointed to correct path eg.. "/dev/input/js*" for the original Joystick interface or "/dev/input/event*" for the newer evdev-based interface.

Is a recording problem because in game works without issues but as said before nvenc dont possible use because gpu up to 100%, but in first video use dx11 wine implementation and gpu dont up 100% for this reason 1st video dont have any problem

However give a minor idea about performance, with more powerfull gpu nvenc could possible use maybe with GTX 1060 3GB or more

Respect wayland, wayland needs more development (many issues and dont only graphics) maybe in future

NieR: Automata is stuttering A LOT on xwayland for me as well. Perfectly smooth when using x.org though. It seems a bit random because other games, like Dark Souls III actually work pretty good when using xwayland while some games run terrible.

Hopefully Valve's Proton will soon be re-based to the current Wine 4.0 state.

I find this slightly confusing - aren't a lot of the changes to Wine 4.0 due to Proton? In other words, it's more like Wine 4.0 is based on Proton 3.16, rather than the other way around. But maybe I'm wrong, in which case, I'm sure Proton 4.0 ought to narrow down the compatibility list.

NieR: Automata is stuttering A LOT on xwayland for me as well. Perfectly smooth when using x.org though. It seems a bit random because other games, like Dark Souls III actually work pretty good when using xwayland while some games run terrible.

As much as I am an advocate for Wayland, I don't advise it for gamers, especially those using Wine. It's not quite there yet IMO.
