Additional Comments

Thanks to patches to bug #39402 by Andrew Eikum, sound is finally working out of box in wine-staging.

FPS have still not reached to native levels but game has definitely become playable while using DXVK.

I did a few tests for FPS with different versions of wine at a location in Whiterun, performances might differ from system to system

Wine : 12-15 FPS
Wine - PBA : 14-16 FPS
Wine + DXVK : 41 FPS
Wine - PBA + DXVK : 41 FPS
