Wolfenstein 2: The new Colossus

I actually tried different combination of wine and Vulkan SDKs, but still no luck.

Similar to the current latest report, I also get the VK_ERROR_EXTENSION_NOT_PRESENT error and the game does not start.

Is there something which is missing/that we are overlooking (especially since there is a golden rating by some user).

I am confirming definetly a gold rating for my Fedora 27 system as well. The game is working like a charm. As you said it is required to install the VulkanSDK. Be sure, that you installed it (easiest is with recent winetricks). Ensure that you are creating the winevulkan.json file in the windows folder (!) as described. In my first attempt I had it in the drive_c folder. Be sure also to add the registry entries pointing to that file. You need to create the Drivers entries and needs to be a DWORD with the path in the name. This is working here flawless and very nice.

If I remember correctly, Wolfenstein 2 was 64 bit only. Maybe you installed wrong architecture or something similiar related so something is not working as expected?

Hi,

so I got it working - I'll clarify:
1. The wine version in Fedora 27 works (right now it is 3.5); the one with PlayOnLinux doesn't (tested with 3.4 and 3.5).
2. In addition, there was a strange behaviour - when I first started the game, I only had a blank screen. The game was configured as windowed (game settings) but it was started by wine as fullscreen.
Once I switched to window mode (Alt + Enter I think), it was fine. Once I also updated the in-game setting to fullscreen, the issue went away.

I hope this helps.

the audio bug seems to be related to this one:
bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44883
adding the xaudio2_7 override fixes it
there is still some minor audio feedback (similar to coil whine) until the game sounds start (youll notice it in menus and first loading screen), it goes away once the game starts and the first audio plays.

I am confirming that following the instructions given, the game is working even better than under windows. I run into some audio issues on the windows system having some broken sound effects within the cut scenes requiring to enforce mono sound to fix. Using wine all this seems to be working absolutely fine, with nice FPS and fast loading times making it very enjoyable to play. So far I didn't encounter any of the reported random crashs so far playing for a few hours already. The only annoying is that when playing with the controller the screensaver is activated from time to time requiring to move mouse to prevent and can ruin some battles due to. For some reason Vulkan fullscreen seems not to block it. I am asking myself if this might be related to the random crashs that was reported?
