Battlefield 4 via dxvk - also with multiplayer?

PlutonMaster · April 7, 2018, 4:27am

Thanks. Now I’m installing BF4 and then try this out.

Trollwut · April 7, 2018, 12:29pm

Nope, still the same error

I fired up Origin in a terminal and this is the output when I start Battlefield4: https://pastebin.com/rDGNQRUF

BF4 is being started at about line 730, the process itself is being shown at line 953, crashing half a second after that

Remeber , A few maps works good ,. other the graphic is fup after you died . Restart punkbuster berfore you start the game. In Lutris run exe file inside wine prefix . Then go in battlefield 4 folder undet installs i think and reinstall . Windows 10 had the same problem . If you get kiccked out restart punkbuster ,.

absolutely no luck on my end, i do not get an error message anymore. Battlefield acts as though it is installed, and ready to play. When I press play however, the cloud save feature pops up and completes, but the game never launches

Have you set up your vulkan drivers ?

Trollwut · April 8, 2018, 8:27pm

I guess it’s still the same error as I get. You just installed winetricks nocrashdialog in your WINE bottle (which is in the Lutris installer), which - surprise, surprise - doesn’t show these nasty error messages anymore. I did it to mine and now I have the same behaviour as you got

@cxf do you have an idea on what we could investigate? You seem to be the guru for BF4 for now

cxf · April 8, 2018, 9:45pm

I can’t. I don’t own that game.

Trollwut · April 9, 2018, 7:51am

Oh. Still my man!

roderickc/wine-vulkan/blob/master/README.md

Wine-vulkan is my personal development branch for Wine Vulkan development. Originally
it was created as a staging area before my Vulkan work went into Wine. As of Wine 3.4
the majority of the work is integrated into Wine and major games such as Doom and
Wolfenstein II just work fine.

For most users there is little need to use wine-vulkan. I may continue updating this
project and add experimental patches, but in general I'm trying to get patches into
regular Wine as soon as possible.

You can use this repo to play around with Vulkan on Wine, but this repo is not meant
to be stable. It will be rebased frequently, so be warned!

Minimal instructions for using wine-vulkan:
1. Install 32-bit / 64-bit Vulkan libraries and drivers for your Linux distribution.
2. Compile Wine as usual.
3. You should now be able to run your Vulkan software.

The default wine-vulkan installation provides a minimal vulkan-1.dll, which is good for
most purposes and provides all Vulkan functionality. It lacks features such as support for
layers; a feature commonly used for debugging purposes, but some applications like Steam

Did anyone get BF4 running?

Trollwut · July 14, 2018, 11:57pm

Yes, BF4 runs wonderful for now. On running, just wait a fucking long time, I guess the first time it runs, it does some stuff in the background. It seems like it didn’t run BF4, but it just needs some time.

Use a virtual desktop, because Origin spams a thousand of windows, which (at least mine) window manager doesn’t want to process.

Also be sure if you use higher DXVK versions, it needs a newer nvidia driver version, which might not be in your repository

CMNDR_T_O_D · July 15, 2018, 7:49am

I am stuck at origin complaining about dxgi.dll and d3d11.dll missing, what am I supposed to do with them, I tried changing config of wine and making them both native and the other option, it still complains about it. Also when origin launches battlelog website, the ping times dont show up, the servers are listed though…

Trollwut · July 15, 2018, 2:49pm

They have to be located in C:/Windows/system32/, so either put them there manually or use Lutris’ DXVK option (properties of a game, there you find it)

Be aware, as said, that if you use higher DXVK versions, it needs a newer nvidia driver version, which might not be in your repository (you can check the needed driver version on the DXVK’s GitHub page)

CactusOwnage · July 15, 2018, 6:59pm

Also got it to work now. Now I just have some issues with my mouse because it is really choppy in game and skips around. I know this is commonly connected to the virtual desktop resolution but how do you set the resolution correctly? Already set the virtual desktop in winecfg to 1920x1080 and in Lutris too (in the battlefield runner options). I unchecked “Windowed (virtual desktop)” as that gives me an error when I try to tab into the game.

CMNDR_T_O_D · July 16, 2018, 2:17pm

Hi did you download extra dlls to run bf4 or did it work without?

Also do you run as x86 or 64 bit executables ?

I have so many questions…

davvvve · July 17, 2018, 7:19pm

Disable lutris ingame and gameoverlay in origin to seee if the mouse works better . We just installed the bf 4 lutris run . Now i have a problem to get iy to run with my nvidia card . No problem with amd and mesa git. Next time im gonna buy a better amd card
