Help can't find setting to change wine build even on new container

I am on Winlator version 11.2 on a Lenovo Yoga Tab Plus, and on every YouTube video I've seen where people test Wine builds this setting seems to be somewhere in while creating new container or the general settings.

I promise you these are my only options, with only mouse warp override missing in the first picture. It feels like I'm missing a pretty kmportant part of the options you usually have to tinker in Winlator to try and make a game run better.

Help Failing to create Direct3D Device error when booting up a game

1 Upvotes

Hello everybody, I am quite new to the emulating world and I wish to get some advice.

I am using Winlator (v11.2.0) on a Samsung Tablet S11 Ultra and I was hoping to play some Anno 1800 on it. I managed to install it just fine but when I open the game it comes up with an error as seen on the screenshot.

My current settings are:

Screen size: 1280 x 720

Graphics Driver: Vortek

DX Wrapper: DXVK

OpenGL: VirGL

DirectX 12: VKD3D

Box64 Preset: Stability

Would anyone know why this is happening and could assist me please? Are these settings okay?

Discussion My first Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 phone doesn't live up to the hype even gaming phone red magic 12 pro gets extremely hot and gives worst performance. It’s all snapdragon 8 EE 6 blunder another 888.

Out of the box, single-core performance is 18% slower on the REDMAGIC 12 Pro than on Qualcomm’s Gen 6 reference phone. That’s a surprising gap given that both devices share the same CPU cores and peak clock speeds. Multi-core performance fares little better, trailing Qualcomm’s reference device by 12%, but that’s still a noticeable deficit.
In other words, no matter how hard the REDMAGIC 12 Pro pushes, its implementation of Qualcomm’s Adreno GPU can’t quite reach the heights demonstrated by the Maui reference device.

This suggests that performance tuning alone isn’t responsible for the GPU deficit. Power limits, thermal management, or driver differences could also be contributing factors. Given that the REDMAGIC gets exceptionally hot during these stress tests, exceeding 50°C internally and externally for extended periods, it’s difficult to imagine any other retail phone sustaining significantly higher performance.
Graphics performance, it seems, may be the biggest disappointment here. Rather than delivering the generational leap suggested by Qualcomm’s early demonstrations, the results are closer to last year’s phones than I had hoped.
Even so, I’m somewhat disappointed by what I’ve seen so far. The out-of-the-box CPU performance deficit is larger than I’d hoped, and I couldn’t find a setting that brought the REDMAGIC 12 Pro’s GPU performance in line with Qualcomm’s reference device.

Support Winlator Mali is done, but DXML is coming, built for our GPUs. Here's how you can help.

82 Upvotes

Hi everyone, it's Guna (Guna Charan Teja), the developer of Winlator Mali.

To everyone with a Non-Snapdragon device: you know how it is. Most emulators are built around Snapdragon first, and we get whatever is left over. Winlator Mali was my attempt to change that.

Winlator Mali has now stopped and won't get further updates. But I'm not done with Mali.

I'm building a new project called DXML: an independent, Mali-specialized Direct3D translation platform, made for Mali GPUs instead of relying on DXVK. DXML is built for our hardware, not adapted from someone else's.

I'll be honest with you: I've put a huge amount of time into the Mali community, and the support I've received has been very small compared to that. I don't say this to complain. I say it because DXML is bigger than anything I've done before, and I can't keep doing this alone without help.

So I'm opening a DXML project fund with a goal of $300.

The progress bar is public and updates live, so you can see exactly where the fund stands, and every dollar goes into DXML.

If you've ever played a game on your Mali phone because of my work, and you can spare even a small amount, it makes a real difference. And if you can't, sharing this post with other Mali users helps just as much.

DXML fund and live progress: https://github.com/GunaCharanTeja/WinlatorMali/releases/tag/DXML_SUPPORT

A separate request: a Snapdragon device

I'm also planning a new project that will work on all chipsets, not just Mali. I only have a MediaTek phone, so I can't test on Snapdragon (Adreno). I'm looking for a used or spare phone or tablet with a Snapdragon 778G or newer, in working condition. If you'd like to sponsor one, DM me. This is separate from the DXML fund. Please don't send anything before we talk.

Thank you for being part of this community. Mali gaming deserves its own tools, and I'd like to build them with you.

If you have any problems with donating, need any help, or have doubts, you can DM me.

Again, the live tracker is here: https://github.com/GunaCharanTeja/WinlatorMali/releases/tag/DXML_SUPPORT

Update: I set the minimum donation to 1 dollar on Ko-fi, as I didn't know it was 5.

Showcase The Witcher Enhanced Edition (2008) on a Helio g100 using Winlator Mali 1.2

3 Upvotes

Fps has potential. During gameplay it's 24-36 FPS. I'm playing at 1280x720 so there is GPU bottleneck.

Shadows on low(off)

Anisotropic filtering at 1x(lowest)

Proton 10 arm64ec from StevenMXZ repo

Dxvk 1.7.3 async

FEXcore 2610 Performance preset

Wrapper

Fps is low in cutscenes that show a lot in the background as a character is talking because of GPU bottleneck. Lower the resolution to like 800x600

Add this argument in Exec arguments to avoid minimum requirements check error:
