[SOLVED]Wine-staging, winetricks and dxvk drive me crazy

[Shiru]

Hello folks,

Sorry for this post title but i am at a point where i really don't know things work.
I did install wine-staging, dxvk and use winetricks. I have to say that I also emerge crossdev to compile Mingw32 for the bot architecture (32,64) and emerged vulkan headers.
All my games were running perfectly, nothing to complain about...except i did not understand how everything works so i decided to delete the .wine folder and start again to learn (this learning process is better than playing games!). I don't even know to start first with wine but let me explain what i have done so far.

1. Emerging wine-staging (current:6.23)
2. Creating the wine prefix but installing a game:

Code: Select all

wine-staging game.exe

. But i also used the wineboot command

Code: Select all

wineboot-staging -i

3. Trying to run winetricks like this:

Code: Select all

 WINEPREFIX=/home/username/.wine

. And it failed almost at each attempt:

Code: Select all

Executing mkdir -p /home/username

warning: wine cmd.exe /c echo '%AppData%' returned empty string, error message "wine: '/home/username/.wine' is a 64-bit installation, it cannot be used with a 32-bit wineserver."
------------------------------------------------------

What i don't understand here is the fact that i don't user the WINEARCH prefix so it winetricks should handle 32 and 64 wineprefix installation.

4. As winetricks failed, i ran:

Code: Select all

winecfg-staging

and i can add some libraries like quartz, xinput, devenum, d3d11, dxd11, etc.

5. Then tried to install dxvk running this command:

Code: Select all

WINEPREFIX=/home/username/.wine setup_dxvk-bin.sh install

with or without the --symlink flag with the same result:

Code: Select all

wine: '/home/username/.wine' is a 64-bit installation, it cannot be used with a 32-bit wineserver.
Failed to resolve C:\windows\system32.

Finally i donwload the dll files thanks to the dxvk git repository and copied them to system32 and syswow64 but the error is different and came from wine:

Code: Select all

cannot load d3d9.dll

but the dll is inside system32 and syswow64 folders.

6. Switched to Windows to play the game while crying.

Before i delete the .wine folder, every games were running fast for around almost a year so it means that the problem is me. I don't understand so i male mistakes.

here are some useful information:

I have read tons of informationm, especially on winehq, but nothing changed at all.

Please, help me to understand the right way to avoid the

Code: Select all

wine: '/home/username/.wine' is a 64-bit installation, it cannot be used with a 32-bit wineserver.

.
If you need more info, please let me know.

Thanks in advance,
Shiru

[Mistwolf]

1) Delete the .wine folder
2) run "WINEARCH=win32 winecfg"
3) install game/run winetricks

Multi-lib wine defaults to 64 bit architecture, which has limited support to run things.

[Chiitoo]

The '/home/username/.wine' path is default, so there's no need to specify 'WINEPREFIX' when using it, although it does provide a good chance for confusion later on. :]

Regarding the issue with running Winetricks after Wine, do you perhaps have more Wine builds installed than just the one? Perhaps one that's 32-bit only? This would explain a lot, since you were specifically calling for 'wine-staging' in places, but not in others.

Try 'eselect wine list'.

[Shiru]

Mistowolf,

Thanks but i need to learn here (it worked for around a year and i need to know why).

Chiito,
I only have the 6.23 staging version.
it's not clear for to say which build is (32/64): i just checked with eix and i saw

Code: Select all

ABI_X86="32 64 

In details:

Code: Select all

You are right: no need to use this WINEPREFIX because that's the default one.

I still try everything bu still stuck and i did succeed in the past so there is a solution somewhere...

[Chiitoo]

Hmmm, just to be sure, please also post the output from 'emerge --info wine-vanilla wine-staging' (can omit the actual info part since you already posted that).

At this time, I still can't think of any other reason for a 32-bit only wineserver being used like that, even though the prefix was just created using a build that supports both, 32 and 64.

Well, aside from environment variables being set when they shouldn't. I'll keep thinking and testing and let you know if I come up with anything else...

As a sidey-note, for Winetricks you can also specify the version/flavour using the WINE variable, like so for example:

WINE="wine-staging-6.23" winetricks dxvk

[Hu]

On the subject of environment variables, please provide the output of declare -p | grep WINE, as run from the user shell in which you then run wine.

[Shiru]

Chiito,

I don't hqve wine-vanilla installed.
But here's the wine-staging emerge --info:

And...I ran the WINE="wine-staging-6.23" and despite some errors (if it really was) from output, dxvk was installed and i got 60 and more FPS like before. So it works...
So if i use this command i can install dxvk easily? is that was the solution i was searching for?

Hu,

I ran the command "declare -p | grep WINE" but no output at all.
I don't know if that is a good thing or not...

[Chiitoo]

Right, I wanted you to try the command as I wrote it just so we can be as sure about it as you. :]

Very strange. That specifying the Wine version via the WINE variable for Winetricks makes it work further suggests some other version is being used otherwise, and there doesn't seem to be any variables set either...

That is how I usually install the latest 'dxvk', but no, you normally don't need to use the WINE variable like that. It only makes sense when there are more than one Wine build to choose from.

By the way, regarding running Winetricks, I don't actually see it in the earlier posts, so were you running it on the CLI completely, or actually using the GUI (the GUI is not maintained too much, so there most likely are issues lurking).

Did you ever build and/or install Wine manually in the past?

What do you get when you run a plain 'wine --version'?

[Shiru]

Hello Chiito,

Thanks for your time and your replies.
In fact, as for Winetricks, i am using both (GUI/CL) but in major cases it's the GUi. As you said, i have to focus on CL in order to avoid more issues.

I didn't build manually Wine: only emerged it with Portage.

So, is that means that i mess up with some USE flags or packages related to Wine?

Shiru

[Chiitoo]

So, is that means that i mess up with some USE flags or packages related to Wine?

No, I don't think there are any such flags that would cause this.

Did you try the last suggestion from my previous post?

What is the output of 'wine --version' when you run it exactly like this?

[Shiru]

Hello Chiito,

The

Code: Select all

wine --version 

command returns

Code: Select all

wine-5.0.1

.

Is this helps?

Shiru

[Chiitoo]

Indeed it does!

This means that, in one way or the other, you do indeed have another version of Wine installed.

Did you try the command 'eselect wine list' from earlier?

If that only returns one version, and 'emerge --info wine-vanilla' returns nothing, then perhaps try the following:

Code: Select all

$ which wine # This should probably return:

/usr/bin/wine

$ ls -l /usr/bin/wine # This will probably return something like:

/usr/bin/wine -> /usr/bin/wine-vanilla-5.0.1

[Shiru]

You were right!!

Code: Select all

which wine

returned

Code: Select all

/usr/local/bin//wine

By the way, i checked the version and it was the

Code: Select all

wine-5.0.1

And

Code: Select all

ls -l /usr/bin/wine

returned

Code: Select all

 /usr/bin/wine -> /usr/bin/wine-staging-6.23

So the question is: where the wine-5.0.1 came from?

[Hu]

If it is in /usr/local, then you installed it there. When was it last modified?

[Shiru]

I cannot deny that i installed it here but i just cannot remember doing it (scary...)
This version has been installed in March 21st.

EDIT: i delete the /usr/local/bin/wine* and i don't have any issue at all now.
Thanks Hu and ChIIto for your help.
I marked this thread as solved.
