I assume your wine 4.0 build does not have esync? In that case, low performance is to be expected in all modern games.
The video you linked unfortunately doesn't show performance and it's impossible for me to guess the framerate just based on visuals.
ESYNC is enabled, I tried to enable DXVK_HUD but for some reason it wouldn't show, maybe because Origins starts first and then the game? And why just the Menu and City? If your in the world map and playing, the menu is fast. Everything is normal. Really weird.
I also tried WINE 4.1 staging but then Origins wouldn't start the game, it would just say your "In-Game" but nothing shows up. Same with other versions of WINE. I only had success so far with version 4.0
ESYNC is enabled
Regular wine builds don't support esync. Are you using a custom build then?
DXVK_HUD but for some reason it wouldn't show
This means that the environment variable doesn't get propagated properly.
And why just the Menu and City?
Don't know, someone would have to do some profiling. Are you CPU or GPU bound?

Had a look with htop when this happens and CPU is in normal range, no core is being used 100% just like any other game I play in WINE with DXVK. I'm pretty sure the GPU is normal too. What would be the best way to check that one?

No it's not custom, I will keep trying to start the game with staging see what happens.
staging also doesn't support esync, unless you manually add the patch set. It's only in Proton and the wine-tkg builds that come with Lutris.
I'm pretty sure the GPU is normal too. What would be the best way to check that one?
nvidia-settings has a tab that shows GPU utilization. It should show 100% when you are GPU-bound.
Does wine + tkg 4.0 have ESYNC? that's what I was using. Can't test out the GPU now because EA blocked me for a time because they think I was changing OS too often. Too many different wine attempts.
wine-tkg should have esync, yes.
Thought so, so I was using ESYNC. Usually if I wasn't, Lutris tells me the wine build doesn't support it when I try to enable it.
Can you try just adding d3d11.zeroInitWorkgroupMemory = True in a dxvk.conf file? It seems to work for me to fix the performance on the main menu.
@ZeroFault So you had lag at first? Like the video?
I confirm adding d3d11.zeroInitWorkgroupMemory = True to dxvk.conf will fix the lag issues in the menu and the city. Game works great for me even all at max settings. I also updated to wine 4.2 staging, but I don't think that had anything to do with it.
Now if only Origins worked better with wine, the game might start easier. Most of the the time it starts on this wine version but you may encounter a few times when the game may not start or might start to a black screen and freeze your OS. If the game doesn't start usually kill all wine processes and try again.
Just thought I would mention that last bit even though WINE has nothing to do with dxvk stuff.
@mixalis1987 It makes it somewhat confusing that you say "i also updated to wine 4.2 staging", if you are not specifying it is the lutris TKG build (With ESYNC support).
Regular "wine-staging-4.2" from winehq does NOT support ESYNC.
You could always just build your own from lutris git: https://github.com/lutris/wine/tree/tkg
Not everyone uses the Lutris launcher thingy, and get a warning if ESYNC is not supported, and afaik its not overly simple to actually CHECK if esync is enabled other than possibly do a wine debug log with +esync or something).
Can't do a debug now as I'm on windows over the weekend. The wine version I got was from the arch AUR not its official repo. So maybe that's different? Other versions from the official repo I used in the past, Lutris told me that specific version I was using didn't support it when I tried to enable it. That's why I think i'm using it right now.
DXVK_HUDx2 2019-02
Game works well but with one problem not sure what the cause could be and thought I would ask here too. In the game the Menu has very low FPS and the City, you can still move about if you have the patience and talk to people.
The missions, freeplay, Video Cutscenes pretty much all else is normal speed, this is what bothers me why the menu and city but once your in the world map works great.
If I add
dxgi.customVendorId = 10deto dxvk.conf the game wont start because it will tell me my drivers are out of date and I need to update, removing dxvk.conf lets me play again.Maybe you people with move skill can come up with some ideas. Only other thing I can think of is to update to beta GPU drivers. but if it was the drivers wouldn't the problem also affect the world map? So I'm not sure if that really is the problem either.
You can have a look here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4bL7yV7tEQ skip to 6 minutes to see the full speed of the game.
