Trying to improve both Photoshop CC 2021 / 2022

[artik]

Hi @MiMillieuh. I'm happy to see I'm not the only one trying to get Photoshop running as good as on Windows. With CC 2021, I did it, but almost with 2022. In my case I have:

• CC 2022 running with GPU acceleration since couple of months (but I'm facing sync bug).
• CC 2021 running perfectly without any sync issue and full GPU acceleration (but with max Nvidia 470 drivers, after that (510, etc) my photoshop crashes.

I noticed that in your video, you don't have a proper GPU acceleration even if in preferences the "GPU acceleration" checkbox is checked. (you can check that in the font of the splash screen, yours are transparent, mine are in proper grey) or with the "srubby zoom" (top icon is greyed) that is not working.

In my videos I made a scrubbly zoom demo to show you. Also, not all CC 2021 are compatible as adobe has a bug. You must use CC 2021 22.1.1. Right after, with version 2021 22.5.2, I'm facing the same issur as reposrted abose with 2022 (Sync issue).

Here are my videos (I'm on a 180hz screen, but videos are 60hz):
CC 2022 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2YZ2wqT4Gk
CC 2021 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FpgVUUnCRZA

Maybe we can join our effort and definetly make this Photoshop (2021 or 2022) running on latest drivers. I'm also trying to compile wine myself with patches to try fixing this sync issue.

[MiMillieuh]

Hello,

Thanks for your report.

Maybe are Nvidia drivers a bit easier to get working with wine.
I have a lot of issue due to the open nature of AMD driver and a lot of library aren't installed with the base driver. (Also my GPU is a potato, just an integrated AMD gpu on a laptop)

Also the CC 2021 version is : 22.1.1 20210104.r.138 2021/01/04: 852879028a7 x64

Actually I didn't really noticed issue except that on my hardware it's slower than on Windows (on CC 2021). and Well in CC 2022 GPU acceleration is broken due to VKchildwindow (adobe now use multiple window and it breaks compatibility with VKD3D) and even with a properly self compiled and patched wine this issue won't disappear. When working around it I just end up with other glitches and bugs (that's kinda funny sometimes)

CC 2022 is really hard to get working... basic functions will work but not everything will unlike CC 2021 that has almost everything working

Also if you're facing issue with 510 Nvidia drivers, I've heard that a lot of people had issue with them in a lot of software so maybe that's actually Nvidia's fault.

if you want to compile wine with a patch I know how to so don't bother about that I can handle it.

If you have any suggestions I'm open to them.

Thanks for your contribution.

Amazing, the version of wine i'm using is with lutris, and the wine-lutris-ge-lol-7.0-2-x86_64 wine https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/wine-ge-custom/releases/tag/7.0-GE-2-LoL.

Where we should start is getting the latest wine/proton (7.18 ?) that includes these LoL patches https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/wine-ge-custom/tree/master/patches/LoL

Also, you said "even with a properly self compiled and patched wine this issue won't disappear", do you have a compiled version for me to try ? Curious to see how it goes with Nvidia GPU

[MiMillieuh]

Well I'm not sure Lol patches should be used for this... Maybe I'm wrong after all but I didn't considerate it. also some patches require a specific wine version.

If you want to try my wine versions, they are here : https://lulucloud.mywire.org/FileHosting/GithubProjects/CustomWine/wine-tkg-staging-fsync-selfcompilated.zip

3 separated folder for 3 versions with differents patches.

Damn it, no luck

[MiMillieuh]

Does it works with 470 drivers ?

[artik]

Exactly the same issue version 'GLIBC_2.34' not found
I also tried to install and fsync patched kernel, same error

Strange thing is only the Lol version make CC 2021 perfectly working (except I'm blocked in 470 drivers)

[MiMillieuh]

I know that Glibc has also issue sometime on Nvidia with Steam so maybe it's related. try to install gcc or something like that

Edit : Maybe you're missing the package glibc (you're on mint so ubuntu based) : sudo apt install glibc

[artik]

E: Unable to locate package glibc

And online version 2.34 is experimental https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/glibc. Things are getting more complexe

Maybe there is a ppa out there.

That's weird because in my distro it isn't experimental... Maybe mint is using an old Ubuntu base. Is your distro up to date (Latest release too) ?

[artik]

Hum, totally up to date :)

Do you think we can try a simple compilation of latest 7.18 proton with Lol patches? Maybe patches will work as they patched already the 7.0.2 proton version

Also, I'm still wondering why you don't have the Scrubbly Zoom working, there is also something wrong here that maybe we can fix

[MiMillieuh]

I can try. But I know why the LOL patch work for you...

Lol patches use an older glibc version (2.28). That's why it works

Maybe newer wine version require something more upstream

Do you think you could be able to use the 2.34 version ?

Through Deb or ppa ?

Also Ubuntu 20 is 2 yo

[artik]

I doubt Wine will use an experimental version of glibc. I'll try to update anyway and I let you know

Edit: my bad, I just saw A new upstream version is available: 2.35. I'm on it

[artik]

All my tests were unsuccessull haha. Tried to compile glibc 2.35 but I realised the package I needed to install was libc6_2.34-0ubuntu3.2_amd64.deb. But I have a bad dependency, and needed libfakeroot in an earlier version. When libfakeroot_1.25.3-1.1_amd64.deb is installed, I still have the bad dependency error. What else can I try ?

Maybe you could try other driver... I'm not sure... You could also try in a live ISO

Does the wine shipped in your distro works ? if not maybe your should check if a fresh install wouldn't fix the issue (try in live iso first of course so you don't wipe anything)
