[SOLVED] SIFU (and other games) runs awfully slowly on Wine

Several games don't run (itch.io games) or run unbearably slowly (SIFU, HighFleet, Teardown) on Wine with my new PC (7600X + 6700XT), even though for example Highfleet worked flawlessly on my laptop. (4800H + 1650ti)

For SIFU I have tried 8.11, ProtonGE 8.8, Lutris 7.2.2 with the same results. (Picture is from ProtonGE 8.8).

I wasn't able to try Proton Experimental since this is a pirated version. (Sorry I fully know that pirating indie games isn't ethical, I have my reasons)

EDIT: Previously I have tried switching back to X11 but didn't solve the issue in Highfleet's case.

I'm using EndevaourOS with 6.3.9-arch1-1 kernel version with Vulkan running (tested with vkcube).

SOLUTION: It seems DXVK wasn't installed, so by following this guide (How to Use) https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk fixed Dave the Diver and SIFU for me, but Teardown and Highfleet is still problematic. It's interesting since DXVK is enabled for all of the 4 games in Lutris.

export WINEPREFIX=/path/to/wineprefix cp x64/*.dll $WINEPREFIX/drive_c/windows/system32' cp x32/*.dll $WINEPREFIX/drive_c/windows/syswow64' winecfg

  • 3: In the winecfg (the opened app) go to Libraries and in the "new override..." listbox, add those dlls which you copied over. Add those dlls which are present in dxvk-<version-number>/x64 if you ls them.

  • Ok maybe try some nice command on the process to increase the priority. Also which distro are you using? I suggest you install the flac codec.

    • Oh sry I forgot to mention it:

      New PC: 7600X + 6700 XT, 6.3.9-arch1-1, EndevaourOS w/ Wayland

      Laptop: 4800H + 1650 ti, 6.1+ probably, EndevaourOS w/ Wayland

      Performance still stayed the same with renice -12 on SIFU's 3 most used processes, but the CPU usage is indicated as over 100+%, although the actual threads don't indicate that. Unfortunately running SIFU from the terminal crashes the game, so couldn't use nice on it. The flac codec is already installed.
