I should have seen the notes first about last tested version: 3.15-staging.

Above instructions (as far as applying the patchset) works if I checkout tags 3.15 (wine/), and v3.15 (wine-staging).

Thanks for the heads up, updated

Missing voices, missing music, and being stuck on the cart are all caused by xaudio2 problems. 32-bit Skyrim users could fix this with winetricks xact and native DLLs, but Microsoft's equivalent 64-bit lib usually fails in wine (because it truncates memory pointers), so current winetricks does not install it in 64-bit wineprefixes.

Ubuntu 18.04 users can add this PPA to their system to get a wine-development build patched to provide the missing xaudio2 functionality without winetricks or native DLLs:

launchpad.net/~foresto/+archive/ubuntu/winepatched

See wine bug 39402 for details.

Followup to my previous post: Although the patched builtin xaudio2 will get voices and music working, it seems that wine's builtin xaudio2 has another problem: it breaks distance attenuation for ambient sounds. Instead of distant voices/footsteps/water starting quiet and slowly fading up to full volume as the camera approaches them, they suddenly cut in at full volume while they're still pretty far away, and cut out just as suddenly when the camera moves in the other direction. Reported as bug 45311.

Forest,

It mentions in your ppa's change notes that you "tweaked" Andrew Eikum's patch in the bug report for ubuntu. Could you be more specific? I'm integrating it into my own custom wine build and I just wanted to make sure there weren't any issues with the one provided.. Do you have an updated ubuntu-specific patch file you could share? Thanks!

Mike, I didn't make any functional changes. I just refreshed the original patch to make it apply cleanly to the slightly different release of wine. My patch is in the debian.tar.xz file on my PPA, so you can examine/compare it for yourself.

Perfect! Found it. Thank you!!

Hi again Forest,

I've been at this a couple days now and I can't seem to replicate your success. It's weird, because the build from your ppa does work on my system, but when I try to patch my own copy of the source from master, the build just exhibits the same lack of audio. I've made sure to add libavcodec and libavutil to my build environment. I triple checked to make sure the patch was actually applied to the source files... any ideas? I've tried my prefix with both xaudio2_7 set to builtin, native and vice-versus. I can't even see anything in stdout that refers to this. At this point, I'm thinking of just using your source archive, adding my other patches to it and compiling that. Only thing I can think of is that there's something different enough in 3.10 or one of my other patches (staging, pba, f4se) that breaks things. Or maybe it's the order of how I'm applying the patches (I do this one last) Any ideas? (Anyone?)

Mike,

Did you start with a clean source tree when building the patched version? Did you run ./configure and verify that it found ffmpeg's libav* files? Are you certain that you're running your newly-built wine binary, and not some other one in your path? Did you try (just for the heck of it) with a wineprefix created by the new build?

I'm such an idiot. You called it. I forgot to update my launch script to point to my custom wine binaries. Everything is working great now! THANK YOU!!!

Looks like there was recently a patch in wine-staging mentioning xaudio2: github.com/wine-staging/wine-staging/commit/8b65c06f30451511d5ee19dd38ca8267dc1af677. This doesn't have anything to do with this issue does it?

Yes, the ffmpeg patch was recently added to wine-staging, so I think you can use the very latest release of it (instead of my PPA) to get voices working.

I recompiled the latest wine-staging from source and I'm still having issues with the audio cutting out. I'm not sure if it's because I previously ran `winetricks xact` or because the patch doesn't fix it. Has anyone else had any success with this?

The patch doesn't fix it for me either. I don't think it's supposed to, anyway.

Using Wine-Staging 3.9 with configs (using Winecfg) for SkyrimSE:

WinXP (Noised sound fixed!)
d3d11 Native then builtin
dxgi Native then builtin
xaudio2_7 Native then builtin
dsound Native then builtin
xapofx Native then builtin
xact Native then builtin

SkyrimSE Launcher was setting to level LOW with Windowed Mode, resolution was setting to 800x600 at this moment for test.

What the issue is that even success to start the game but it comes only sound with a black screen, but I think it was very close to make it playable.
I remember while I was using Wine Dev 3.4, I could start the game without setting anything else (because I was playing the Skyrime LE with heavy mode package that time in the same Winecfg setting), then I tried SkyrimSE, the game was successfully started and ok to saw the main intro\menu, but the problem was, while I click to start the NEW GAME, it came the black screen with horses breath, step sound, seems everything goes well but I just can't see anything.

So, anyone could give any advise please? :)

Those settings won't work.

I wrote a guide on how I made mine work -try following it instead:

www.reddit.com/r/skyrim/comments/8l9bez/guide_sse_on_linux_with_wine/

Thanks Venter, I will check if the note working for me. :)

Sure, take note of the wine-build instructions. It includes a number of patches that help make things work better. Not least of which the one required for SKSE64 to run.

Hi Venter,

I tried following the necessary step in note, finally get the Bethesda logo intro :D
however it then nothing showing in main menu but only the Bethesda logo at bottom left and the "X Change Profile" at the bottom right corner,
no sound and mouse moving like ghost image,
I tried to move the mouse the the place where New Game showing,
the game was stuck,
console showing below:

SkyrimSE.exe(4530,0x7fffb4d7e380) malloc: *** error for object 0x6b060f58: incorrect checksum for freed object - object was probably modified after being freed.

Sorry for forgetting to tell that I'm running the Wine 3.10 Staging in OSX 10.13.5, RMBP mid-2015 with ATI R9 M370
I don't know that if the problem was causing by the graphic card setting or the system setting?

thanks for help :)

Sorry, never seen that error before, no idea how to fix it. If I had to guess it's most likely OSX causing issues. If you are using DXVK try a prefix without it,. It's very cutting edge so may not work on OSX.

Thanks Venter,

I will try another way and different version of Wine and check,
hopefully to get it playable on OSX.

Best regards,
Aven

Game is now fully playable with dxvk (which includes a fix for the shadow glitches in the recent commits).
However SKSE64 doesn't work, which is a problem for those who wish to play with mods.

Open bug report here: bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44893

The above problem can be fixed with this patch:
github.com/hdmap/wine-hackery/tree/master/f4se

Thanks for this--I've compiled wine-staging with these patches and SKSE64 does work. However, steam, WoW, and other applications all crash with this version and I have to switch back to the stock wine-staging to run them. Did anyone else have issues with other programs not working after applying these patches?

Hi all. Just a comment to 3.5 test results: it has graphical glitches for me on nvidia. At least these two:

1. Alduin on load screen ("And the scrolls have foretold...") is much darker than it should be, and sometimes when I move mouse it blinks fast (like brightness increases and decreases back on every mouse move event; could not reliably reproduce that): dimgel.me/drop/wine-skyrimse-glitch1.png

2. Non-textured grey areas dance on prisoners' clothes: dimgel.me/drop/wine-skyrimse-glitch2.mp4

No sound & low fps, as in test results.

Running this in Arch (Nvidia) - it's not responding to my mouse, any idea?

I'm having the same issues running wine 3.9 with 396.24 with my gtx 1060.

Did you manage to find a solution?

I retested it on rc4, I don't think the changes I found warrant a full new test data submission but wanted to leave a comment to mention them.
The artifacts on characters remain an issue, based on appearance I think it is a problem with rendering the normal-maps. However on rc4 I was able to set the graphics to "Ultra"and retain a playable, responsive game (though it definitely feels slower than on windows and this is without any additional graphics mods) it is a clear improvement over the previous release candidate.

I dunno why but following the instructions, upon launch of this title it attempts to bring up the agreement form thing for steam which is pre-launch step most games have for installing any dependencies AND around 0.5s after that it crashes steam completely. Dead.

This was with 2.9-staging-CSMT (FuryX card). I might make another container for it and attempt with a clean install, it really shouldn't be crashing steam so could be some other glib issue going on (shrug).

PS. Other titles seem to work fine in 64bit container. I use POL mostly except for installing certain components.

Yeah no luck, and it doesn't seem to matter about CSMT or not.

Here is a snippet of debug info for anyone who gets similar error: I hope its not too large, I don't even know the issue so can't make a bug report.

It could be related to the game running on my SSD NTFS drive. Perhaps DX11 apps don't like SSD and/or NTFS. I will arrange a EXT4 drive for it at some point to further test this issue.

Reinstalled it on EXT4 partition, it now launches without any crashing of steam. 800x resolution seems to be only one that works, think you also need CSMT disabled..

Anyway at least its in testable state now and hopefully future wine releases will solve the issues.

Just boots up with grey screen and sound/music in background. Nothing seems to change that.

I have this same problem. Did you ever find a fix?

Not sure why but even as Xact and Xaudio fix the npc audio problems, they break fullscreen so that the game no longer works in all the different configurations that worked before. Now it only works in windowed mode on the lowest resolution.

You can get NPC voices to work by installing xaudio and xact with winetricks. Once the voices worked, scripts were just fine.

I got God Rays to work but having that on meant a huge fps hit. Leave that off. Also, the snow shader is a bit broken but you can leave that off too.

Just to add some updated data to my testing report.
The main problem with the game and the scripts that make things run is some scrips rely on dialogue. If the dialogue fires too fast then the script doesn't fire because it is still waiting for the npc to start talking. Once you have control of the character this can be gotten around by repeatedly entering conversation with npcs, even non quest npcs. Once you leave conversation the next bit of the script will fire. Any scripts or quests that do no require an npc to talk to another npc will work just fine. The problem is npc talking when they aren't in conversation with the player.
ALSO:
Invisibility works but not correctly. It just doesn't look right but it does work.
The light sources of the game aren't really lighting up the areas they are supposed to. Torches don't make things shine
Chopping wood works. I sort of thought it would not but it does.
Fast travel works.
God rays have not worked for me yet.
I still can't figure out why some textures flicker with white lines and other don't. I think it might have something to do with moving shadows.

To anyone having trouble getting off the cart during the intro, you can try:
1:[ tfc], fly around with the camera for a bit, go really far away and then come back to helgen
2: [enableplayercontrol] this probably won't work but you might be able to save and then load that save causing the script to fire correctly.
3: [getstage mq101] Probably stage 41. add one [setstage 42]. The game will progress a bit. repeat.
4: look at the thief who was supposed to run away and get shot. Click on him so you see his ref number and type [kill]
5: Install alternate start mod and skip helgen entirely. Amazingly the npc voice from this mod makes sound.
6: At the main menu DO NOT click New. Instead [coc riverwood] from main menu. You will show up in Riverwood as a basic Nord with iron armor. Use [showracemenu] to change your character to your liking. ᛤ
7: If you can get the old Oblivion mod that delayed speech and subtitles to work with Skyrim, that might be a solution but I haven't tried it.

I have a 64 bit prefix, but when I try to launch it, it tells me "The game failed to start because you are running a 32 bit version of Windows....". Is there any way to force Wine to act like 64 bit windows?

AHAHAHAHAH you have to install 64 bit Wine with wow64. Once you do that, you can get to the launcher, but sadly that is it. Game starts, display freezes, and nothing happens. Still, it's a step in the right direction.

I finally built 64 bit wine, and I get past this part. Sadly, all I get is a black screen at startup. Still working on it....

Steam special edition only works widescreen mode i added 64 bit steam -
added vcrun2015 and D3D11 to libary in wine
- needs vcrun2015
- needs D3D11

and all set on low and all details on

only work windows mode

If you install DX11 and VCRUN in a 64bit prefix with steam installed the launcher will work, selecting "Windowed mode" in the launcher options will create an empty window that freezes. I'd assume this is a DX11 issue, when debugging is enabled the log ends with
