i wish they make 32 and 64bit in 1 prefix
that will solve almost every problem
I have made a temporary hack that runs through all my wine directories and deletes wine without deleting the installed applications, when updating DXVK the annoying winetricks "empty string" issue is avoided:
rm -rf $WINEDIR/dosdevices
rm $WINEDIR/.update-timestamp
rm $WINEDIR/system.reg
rm $WINEDIR/user.reg
rm $WINEDIR/userdef.reg
rm $WINEDIR/winetricks.log
rm -rf $WINEDIR/drive_c/windows
Where "WINEDIR" is the relevant Wine directory.
@greencopper I won't change the way to install DXVK again unless someone comes up with a solution that is better in every single use case. If you have trouble with winetricks, maybe report a bug there.
@massatt212 what do you mean? The default is to have a 64-bit prefix in which you can install 32-bit applications.
It shouldn't have been changed in the first place! Making it dependent upon winetricks doesn't make sense as winetricks isn't a part of Wine and really has nothing to do with it per say. This is a bad dependency!
winetricks is not a dependency really. If it is hard to update via winetricks, then just update dxvk manually, there's nothing hard to it - it only requires a simple file replacement, there's no need to delete all your prefixes because of it.
Then what's the point with winetricks in the first place?!
Dmc devil may cry I got it working on proton, first I had to download netframework 4 and rename it to the one I'm dmc folder launch the game and let it install, then open wine tricks and install netframework 4.0 then vc2008 vc 2010 and boom it launched, but on lutris just set it to 32 bit and works out of the box, because netframework 3.5 doesn't work on 64 bit, think I'll make a video it's very dumb procedure.
@greencopper then please go ahead and find a better way to install DXVK without the winetricks verb which doesn't introduce any new problems.
The winetricks verb was added after some discussion on #569 because the old install script was less than ideal.
But you are completely ignoring the problems with Winetricks! https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/issues/828
As long as this long standing issue from 2015 isn't resolved, using Winetricks for DXVK isn't a solution.
Winetricks is notoriously messed up regarding "ProgramFiles returned empty string" issues that has persisted since 2015 https://github.com/Winetricks/winetricks/issues/163
Under "How to use" (DXVK) it currently lists "winetricks --force" etc. as the solution for DXVK.

I have just moved all my wine folders from a Manjaro box to an Arch box and now I manually have to delete every single wine installation (there is a lot) because winetricks is still suffering from the old "ProgramFiles returned empty string" issue. I then manually have to update every single wine installation.
Please remove the winetricks dependency as it breaks everything!
