Please provide an apitrace.
Does this happen with DXVK on Windows as well? Asking because animations not working is usually not a rendering issue.
Also, please disable nvapi in your wine configuration (set DLL overrides for nvapi and nvapi64 to disabled).
Here's the apitrace : https://we.tl/t-g1UEfCXvgW (Up to the first dialog)
I'll try dxvk on windows in a while, I'll let you know.
I disabled nvapi, but it didn't change anything.
Thanks for your time
Edit: Ok seems it's working fine using dxvk on windows, the issue might be somewhere else. Still it seems to work fine also in this video using wine : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewa9zXpyufU&feature=youtu.be&t=215
There must be a component to install through winetricks or something
I figured it out, I just had to install xact_64 with winetricks
Nothing extracted yet.
During dialogs, the speaking character doesn't move his/her lips. Kinda breaks immersion. Can confirm lips move normally in Windows. I tried with different drivers, Intel or Nvidia, different dxvk versions, nothing helps. I can't manage to launch the game without dxvk, it crashes instantly. To reproduce, just start a new game, it happens at the very first dialog, when Dogi talks to Adol in the ship. Not sure it's a dxvk related issue tho, I can't find anything in the logs.
