VSTs from Ignite Amp

[freddano]

Thanks for giving yabridge a shot!

• I read through both the troubleshooting and the known issues sections, and my issue wasn't listed there

Problem description

This is not a bug report per se, more of a "tips and tricks report." I don't know how to report it if not in a bug report. Sorry if this is not ok.

Several VSTs from Ignite Amps (NRR, Anvil) work well in a completely clean WINEPREFIX. However, many new VSTs (Steven Slate Drums for instance) need dxvk to be able to draw their gui. And with dxvk installed, NRR and Anvil just show a black window instead of a gui. They still load and function as they should, you just cant use the gui. It logs this error:

[Wine STDERR] 0430:fixme:vulkan:X11DRV_vulkan_surface_create Application requires child window rendering, which is not implemented yet!
08:15:44 [NRR-1-89CLVXhq] [Wine STDERR] err: D3D11SwapChain: Failed to recreate surface: VK_ERROR_INCOMPATIBLE_DRIVER
08:15:44 [NRR-1-89CLVXhq] [Wine STDERR] err: DXGI: CreateSwapChainForHwnd: Failed to create swap chain, hr -2147467259

This is easily fixable though. Just like with "Serum" VST NRR and Anvil start working properly with dxvk if you install gdiplus and disable d2d1.dll.

I just thought I'd report it here if someone else has this problem. It might be the other VSTs that might benefit from giving the above "trick" a shot.

Thank you for your hard and awesome work!

Ignite Amps NRR user here, but I'm on Debian 12 stable. No knowledge about your OS and their packaging system. I only know for sure it is .rpm but not my cup of thea.

I presume the only way to solve the problem is to rollback to Wine Staging 9.4 or upgrade to Wine Staging 9.8
