I found a solution: instead of dxwrapper, use dxvoodoo2 and dxvk. Now i'm able to run pso with all effects maxed out even on 4k! CPU load remains at 40 to 50%.
To i used the psobb install script on lutris to set up the wine prefix (just search for phantasy star online in lutris)
This set me up...
I am on an AMD Phenom II X4 Quad core. Game runs with 50 %to 80% accross all cores. i suspect its CPU related too.
Game is running fine on wine with dxvk except the darkness as depicted in my screenshots
The game still has slowdowns in wine, hence i tried vulkan. The slowdowns without vulcan come when i see many players in the lobby or many enemies.
I spend time researching and figuring out the steps to do (using dxwrapper for d3d8to9).
With the wrapper enabled, the game still looks fine...
Hi Guys,
iam on the latest wine. Even upgraded to 5.9-Staging and DXVK last night but no avail :(
If there is any knowledge about the dark lobby issue i'd really appreciate any information :)
Without Vulkan this issue is not present
I am currently fighting with getting PSOBB to run on my linux machine (AMD Phenom II X4). Recently "upgraded" to a GTX 660 as i thought my old Radeon HD6870 was the bottle neck but no dramatic boost.
I am experiencing slowdown in lobby with 7+ people, on pioneer 2 and whenever lots of enemies...
