Return of Reckoning

Haven't tried the game quite some time. Today i tried. have wine-staging 3.21 with esync and proton fullscreen patch and faudio patch. Everything works nicely, updater did it job with updating(took some time), game works, but the ground textures are still way too bright. Anyone found a way to fix that?

Such bright textures are only in the Nordland, in other locations everything looks better.
However, I noticed that if you enable the post processing option in the video settings, this significantly affects the terrain brightness.

Its also in Ostland and on many Greenskin areas. And yes postprocessing affects it, disabling it will make it even brighter. I can't figure out whats the issue this is the only issue that prevents me from enjoying this game, other than that it works perfectly. Yeah if i reduce the gamma quite a bit it becomes somewhat bearable, but i was hoping someone knows a way to work around this issue.

maybe I'm just used to the fact that the textures are bright in other places, but subjectively in other locations, everything is not so bad ... the main problem, in fact, that prevents me from playing normally, is a really baad freezes in rvr at locations higher than the first tier(huge fps drop then you see more than ~30+ ppl at same screen.. so I spend most of the time in pve and on scenes :/
Unfortunately, I think it is impossible to solve this particular problem under wine, because there is a question of using a video driver ... which is not used . And also poor optimisation of game itself even under windows.

Ok i think i found the issue why it has bright textures:
This thing worked in 2009/2010 but got broken due some games had huge performance hit reloading those formats constantly. directx9 and opengl act differently. I tried to patch wine, but i'm having hard time since the wine code has changed so much.

heres a newer bugreport about similar issue with some other games:
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46212

and here is the old one where there are some patches to fix Warhammer, but they dont apply to modern wine versions anymore since the code has changed a lot

Only one question. What does it want me to do?

Used the 32bit wine staging 3.2 set to XP with dxd9 and dotnet40. All updates applied via dual boot, then i got this. Btw running on Ubuntu 18.04.

xp does not support
set win7

Lol, it rly was just that. Up and running now with no errors. Btw is there a way to force anisotropic filtering and v-sync on AMD gpu? Other than that all seems fine. Even texture brightness.

No idea about AMD, probably there are some variables. On nvidia i do this:
1. disables debugging, more perf
2. enables esync, less wineserver load
3. max Anti Aliasing for my gpu ( check available modes with: nvidia-settings --query=fsaa --verbose)
4. max Anisotropic filtering (4 is 16x, 3 is 8x and so on)
5. FPS counter introduced with nvidia 410.x drivers

Tearing solved with /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Section "Device"
Identifier "AMDGPU"
Driver "amdgpu"
Option "TearFree" "on"
Option "AccelMethod" "glamor"
Option "DRI" "3"
EndSection

AF not so much. But i am glad i dont have to dual boot just for RoR anymore!
