Got nice FPS for Low Settings test (60-70 FPS) compared to Ultra Settings test (20-30 FPS)

Got almost 55-60 FPS for this game.

1. Patch latest Mesa3D Sources with latest Gallium Nine patches. (Optional)

In this part I explained the steps I did to get the Mesa3D Sources patches with the latest Gallium Nine sources. I know that iXit Group keep their sources refreshed as much as expected but I am used to refresh to keep Mesa3D sources refreshed too

• I have to extract the latest patches for Gallium Nine extracted from Git Repo of iXit Group (https://github.com/iXit/Mesa-3D). On 15-Dec-2015 the latest commit was 04360cbf9444b8b7f29e27db2a3f198b0953bfd3. There are 46 patches to extract to get latest Gallium Nine patches

  cd /opt/Sources
  git clone https://github.com/iXit/Mesa-3D Mesa-3D_ixit_$(date -I)
  cd Mesa-3D_ixit_$(date -I)
  git format-patch -46 04360cbf9444b8b7f29e27db2a3f198b0953bfd3

  Notice: the commit 04360cbf9444b8b7f29e27db2a3f198b0953bfd3 can be obtained by doing git log | head -n1

  root@amdgaming:/opt/Sources/Mesa-3D_ixit_2015-12-14# git log | head -n1
  commit 04360cbf9444b8b7f29e27db2a3f198b0953bfd3

• Time to get the latest sources from Mesa3D Git Repo

  cd /opt/Sources
  git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa Mesa-3D_$(date -I)
  cd Mesa-3D_$(date -I)

• Since we have the latest patches from Gallium Nine then we can apply those patches

  for file in $(ls /opt/Sources/Mesa-3D_ixit_$(date -I)/*patch);do patch -p1 < $file;done

2. Patch Mesa3D

I have to patch this file src/gallium/state_trackers/nine/nine_shader.c by commenting out this line assert(tx->loop_or_rep[l] == loop_or_rep); at line #779

     if (ureg_dst_is_undef(tx->regs.rL[l])) {
         /* loop or rep ctr creation */
         tx->regs.rL[l] = ureg_DECL_local_temporary(tx->ureg);
         tx->loop_or_rep[l] = loop_or_rep;
     }
     /* loop - rep - endloop - endrep not allowed */
     //assert(tx->loop_or_rep[l] == loop_or_rep);

     return tx->regs.rL[l];
 }

After that you just have to rebuild Mesa3D as usual

3. Winetricks

As prerequisite you just need to install those packages

winetricks -q vcrun2013 d3dcompiler_43 d3dx9

Here are my own tests for FaceRig on Linux. You have to patch and rebuild Wine. All steps are explained below.

1 Instructions (Patch/Rebuild Wine)

• Patch wine to support your own webcam

  Download wine sources.

  Using your favorite text editor edit this file dlls/qcap/vfwcapture.c

  Near line 402 its new content should be something like (Or just copy/paste the following content to replace content for AMStreamConfig_GetNumberOfCapabilities() and AMStreamConfig_GetStreamCaps() )

  ...
  ...
  static HRESULT WINAPI
  AMStreamConfig_GetNumberOfCapabilities( IAMStreamConfig *iface, int *piCount,
                                          int *piSize )
  {
  //    FIXME("%p: %p %p - stub, intentional\n", iface, piCount, piSize);
  //    *piCount = 0;
  //    return E_NOTIMPL; /* Not implemented for this interface */
  
      FIXME("%p: %p %p - semi-stub\n", iface, piCount, piSize);
      *piCount = 1;
      *piSize = sizeof(VIDEO_STREAM_CONFIG_CAPS);
      return S_OK;
  
  }
  
  static HRESULT WINAPI
  AMStreamConfig_GetStreamCaps( IAMStreamConfig *iface, int iIndex,
                                AM_MEDIA_TYPE **pmt, BYTE *pSCC )
  {
  //    FIXME("%p: %d %p %p - stub, intentional\n", iface, iIndex, pmt, pSCC);
  //    return E_NOTIMPL; /* Not implemented for this interface */
      HRESULT hr;
      VIDEO_STREAM_CONFIG_CAPS *pVSCC = (VIDEO_STREAM_CONFIG_CAPS*)pSCC;
      FIXME("%p: %d %p %p - semi-stub\n", iface, iIndex, pmt, pSCC);
      /* Should we return other results beyond just the current config? */
      if(iIndex != 0) return S_FALSE;
      hr = AMStreamConfig_GetFormat(iface, pmt);
      if(SUCCEEDED(hr))
      {
          memset(pVSCC, 0, sizeof(VIDEO_STREAM_CONFIG_CAPS));
          pVSCC->guid = (*pmt)->formattype;
          /* FIXME - we should probably fill this out properly */
      }
      return hr;
  }
  
  

  Quit and save the file.

  Notice about this new content: The new content I used so Wine can support my Webcam was found by reading this thread on Steam. It was about a patch to apply to Wine. I've just applied its content to my own purpose.

• Rebuild Wine. Install it.

  ./configure --prefix=/some/path && make && make install

2. Steam (winetricks)

• As prerequisites (This is what I did since I am using Gallium Nine but I don't really know if it works for you or if you need more dependencies)

winetricks -q vcrun2010 d3dcompiler_43

• Install Steam

  winetricks --no-isolate steam

• Log into Steam. Buy the software
• Let Steam install all dependancies.

Yesterday it was the occasion to revisit this game. I did play this game for 4 months. There were a lot of updates to download/patch (12 GB of data to download OMG!).

Finally I was able to play it like a charm. Still a nice MMO for me
