App Version

(Early Access) What's new?

  • Updated Custom Wine Environment (Wine Is Not an Emulator)
  • Updated Box64 0.3.3 (Custom) by default (Download any version you want).🔥
  • Updated Graphics driver Turnip Developer version (Download any version you want)🔥
    PLEASE NOTE !!! Do not use devel. version unless your app/game needs it. It should, in most case, be worse.
  • Updated DXVK gplasync version support. (Download & install any version you want).🔥
  • Updated Graphics Driver Vortek working with DXVK 1.7.2 / 0.96, Tested: 8 Elite, 860, 735, 7 Gen 3, 7s Gen 3, 7s Gen 2, 6 Gen 3, 6 Gen 1.
  • Updated Screen Resolution.
  • Updated DXVK_HUD Scale & Opacity.
  • Updated FSync enabled by default, for smoother and less stuttering (less FPS drops).
  • Updated ZINK_DEBUG added more options fast_texture, fast_clears, memory_tracing, memory_leak etc , enabled by default.
  • Updated TU_DEBUG added more options rendering_fast, memory_align, memory_compact etc, enabled by default.
  • Added some Control Layout for your favourite games (Downloadable).
  • Fixed some system failed to compiling shaders.
  • Updated Audio opcodes Advanced Linux Sound Architecture.
  • Reducing (heat) system temperature, memory usage optimization and improved stability.

  • Updated ZINK DESCRIPTORS added db Descriptor Buffer option to Reduced descriptors update overhead, Faster Rendering, Lower CPU utilization.

Mode Description Performance Memory Usage
lazy Cache descriptor sets, lazy updates Medium Low
db Descriptor buffer caching High Medium-High
notemplates Disable descriptor templates Low-Medium Low
cached Aggressive descriptor caching High High
auto Automatic descriptor caching Balanced Medium

Additional Considerations:

Mode CPU Usage Complexity
lazy Low Simple
db Medium-High Complex
notemplates Low Simple
cached High Complex
auto Adaptive Dynamic

  • Updated Vulkan: Windows System Integration (WSI) options.
    (1). Mailbox: Uses a mailbox queue to send frames to the screen. Advantages: reduced tearing, supports parallel rendering. Disadvantages: potential lag.
    (2). FIFO (First-In-First-Out): Sends frames to the screen in the order received. Advantages: low latency, suitable for interactive apps. Disadvantages: potential tearing.
    (3). Relaxed: Balances performance and quality by allowing parallel rendering and reduced tearing.
    (4). Immediate: Sends frames directly to the screen without queuing. Advantages: minimal latency. Disadvantages: potential tearing and high power consumption.

Mode Latency Tearing Performance Visual Quality
Mailbox High Low Low High
FIFO Low High High Low
Relaxed Medium Medium Medium Medium
Immediate Very Low High High Low

  • Updated WEAKBARRIER (WB) options.
    (1). 0: Disables weak barrier, potentially increasing performance but possibly causing synchronization issues.
    (2). 1: Enables weak barrier (default), balancing performance and stability.
    (3). 2: Enables stronger weak barrier, improving synchronization but potentially reducing performance.
    Effects:
    (1). Performance: Value 0 may improve performance, while value 2 may slow it down.
    (2). Stability: Values 1 and 2 enhance stability, while value 0 may cause issues.
    (3). Compatibility: Values 1 and 2 improve compatibility with synchronization-sensitive applications.

Value Description Performance Stability Compatibility
0 Disabled Highest Lowest May cause issues
1 Enabled (default) Balanced Good Wide compatibility
2 Stronger barrier Lowest Highest Best for sensitive apps

  • Updated WINE GST options by default.
    Use Cases:
    (1). Gaming: WINE_GST=OFF for better performance.
    (2). General use: WINE_GST=ON for balanced performance and quality.

Value Description Performance Quality Compatibility
ON Enable GST Balance Improved Wide
OFF Disable GST Faster Lower Limited

Rendering Comparison:

NFSMW with the same graphics settings:
ezgif-4-8acfb4aaf7
Same with GTA 4 workaround and improved performance.

⚠️ NOTE !!:

Results can vary based on the device used, environmental conditions, and other factors, such as simultaneous processing, and different processor capabilities.

*Note: If you experience crashes, try changing another Graphics driver that suits your device.
