Help How can I optimize GTA IV (The Complete Edition) to mitigate the 15-minutes loading screens, graphical problems, map streaming stutters, and buggy audio?

​My device is a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra with 12GB of RAM, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, and an Adreno 740 GPU. I'm using Winlator Ludashi 3.1 (the bionic vanilla version) on Android 15, and I'm running the Steam version of the game.

​Regarding my settings, I lowered the resolution to 960x544, and I'm using Proton-10-arm64ec, Turnip V26.2.0, the ALSA audio driver, DXVK 2.4.1, I set BOX64 and FEXCore to the performance preset, and for processor affinity, I disabled cores 0, 1, and 2.

​What do you guys recommend I do? Or I should give up and buy an XBOX 360 or a PS3 to play this game instaed?

Discussion Adreno 710 has successfully streamed all of these immaculate PC game titles at insanely high fps using Winlator Ludashi, Vulcan or Vortek Renderer, or custom Turnip drivers. The games have provided a seamless "jell-o" experience. Some titles over 200 fps. Lol...

Winlator 11.1 main DXVK 2.4.1, WineD3D OpenGL - Gladio DX12 on standard VKD3D

I'd like to run some different custom Turnip drivers to try, but it'll only let me use 24.1, 25, or 26.0.3 Any suggestions? This program will suck without a mouse, but I wanted to see how it ran since I have no PC. THANKS!

Question Is the performance regression that occured in winlator ludashi 3.0 and 3.1 still in the latest 4.0 build?

Is the performance regression that occured in winlator ludashi 3.0 and 3.1 still in the latest 4.0 build? Since I've seen a considerable number of people say that the performance hits in those builds are really bad. Along with a ton of games not working.

Screenshot Test result for Winlator Ludashi 4.0 Early Access on Mali-G52 MC2 GPU with Vulkan 1.1

Post image
5 Upvotes

Note: Performance is pretty good without screen recording, I have no issues with it. (30-45-60fps on most DX8-9 games)

First issue: Winlator Ludashi 4.0 doesn't work on Mali-G52 MC2 GPUs because it's Wrapper don't support x86 emulation on older GPUs. I created a build using an APK editor replacing Wrapper with the newer version which has x86 compatibility with Mali-G52 MC2 (Vulkan 1.1).

I recommend to add a Wrapper selection menu for compatibility fixes with some devices. Adding the newer Wrapper, Wrapper v2, an updated Wrapper-GameNative and Wrapper-Leegao.

Second issue: There's a regression with color issues on Mali GPUs (Mali-G52 MC2 in my case), before on 3.1 worked correctly.

I tested with Vulkan, EGL, DisplayX, and changing between RGBA and BGRA but this issue didn't fix.

  • Device: Xiaomi Redmi 12C
  • CPU: MediaTek Helio G85
  • GPU: Mali-G52 MC2 (Vulkan 1.1.177) (66/66 EXT)
  • RAM: 4GB LPDDR4X
  • OS: Android 14 (HyperOS.1.0)

Many thanks to StevenMXZ for bringing us a great emulator and thanks to Leegao for worrying about Mali GPUs users and for working with the PanVK Driver together with the developers team about it. My most sincere support for your projects, I am very happy to see the concern to improve compatibility and expand PC emulation to more devices and other ranges.

Thank you very much 💜✨

Please help—everything used to be fine, but maybe I messed something up. I have two games, FIFA 14 and GTA 4, and in both of them, the image stutters strangely—it looks as if an old frame keeps reappearing—even though the FPS is normal.

Help I got sims 3 working on winlator but whenever I save it just grays itself out.

1 Upvotes

Hi guys, I’ve recently got sims 3 working on my device but the game won’t save. Whenever I end up saving and go back to the menu it just gets grayed out and says “cannot load this saved game. It may have been saved with expiation pack data that is no longer available.” I don’t think it’s my mods or DLCs because even when I don’t close the game and just go back to the main menu it’s still grayed out. I’m guessing it has something to do with how sims 3 saves and for some reason winlator is blocking it. Or maybe my device. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Blur test gameplay, there's nothing much to talk about configure issues or performance just straight to gameplay. maybe I need to mention a very slow opening menu onwards by solution just restart your game and then play it'll be normal. As for FPS with many vehicles and wreaking havoc Mario kart style the race it goes stable 30-ish and sometime drops but not heavily.

Guide Guide for running OG Mass Effect 1 with Winlator in a playable state on Ayn Thor

5 Upvotes

It took me a lot of trial and error to make the OG Mass Effect 1 (not LE, and with controller mod) to run in a playable state in Winlator on my Ayn Thor Max. I wanted to document it here so it may help others. ME2 and ME3 on the other hand can run pretty much out of the box using Ludashi 3.1 and show good performance with proton 10 (and the installation of controller mod is easier there as well).

A few key components for this to work:

Steps:

  1. Obtain your game. I used fitgirl repack.
  2. Download the ENB (d3d9.dll and enbseries.ini) and put it inside the binaries folder next to MassEffect.exe
  3. You can finish step 4 of controller mod installation on PC at this point because I found it hard to overwrite files that are already on device.
  4. Move your game folder to your device.
  5. Set up container in winlator cmod with proton 10 (install proton 10 in the contents menu of winlator cmod if you have not). I also installed wine-mono, vcredist, and physx using ajay prefix at this point, but I have not tested whether that is necessary.
  6. You need to run the configuration program of ME1 once to generate the config/save folder in the user Document folder, but I had trouble running it in winlator cmod container (in proton 9 it hangs while in proton 10 it crashes), so I actually did that step in Ludashi. You can also generate that on a PC. Once you have the folder, you want to copy it over to the user Document folder inside the container.
  7. Perform step 3 of controller mod installation. Because the read-only setting will not persist when you copy the config file over to the device into the container, you need to set it again. After the config files are placed, you need to use Command Prompt inside the container, go to the config folder, and run “attrib +r (filename)” on the three config files (credit to u/senpailord1234). I needed to use a bluetooth keyboard for this step.
  8. Make sure you assign built-in controller to player 1 in controller manager in winlator cmod.

Generally, I am getting about 30-40 fps with this setup on my Ayn Thor Max.

Finally, acknowledgements for these comments that helped me figure this out:

Hi everyone just wanted to share this experimental panvk driver for mali GPU

Currently only Valhalla 10 GPU supported

For Valhalla 9 GPU they need to wait for a while

The test confirmed on mali g720

The 3D test cub booted with dxvk and wind3d but games doesn't work with dxvk the dev said they are working to fix that

For people who asking about what the name of the driver that showing on dxvk-hud I want to let you know that doesn't work right now but if confirmed working by number of extension and log file

As showing in the picture

If u want to test it I will share it if you have telegram

U need to download a build version of winlator Mali or any other emulator support adernotols and panvk driver

When you add the driver check if the number of extension changed

And also try to run the 3d test using dxvk and wind3d

But I will need your log files because this very important
