Install Guide Lutris OpenCL

Install Guide: Lutris OpenCL

⚠️ Experimental. OpenCL support in Affinity apps under Wine is in an early stage and is not really supported yet. Even with a supported GPU, it might not work.

This page adds OpenCL hardware acceleration to an Affinity app already installed with Lutris.

Only Nvidia GPUs are supported right now. AMD and Intel GPUs are currently unsupported.

1. Install OpenCL drivers

Make sure your GPU driver and its OpenCL driver are both installed.

On Arch Linux with an Nvidia card, run:

sudo pacman -S opencl-nvidia

Use your distro's equivalent Nvidia OpenCL package if you're not on Arch.

2. Configure the Lutris runner options

1. Open Lutris and go to the Affinity app's configuration settings.
2. Go to the Runner Options tab.
3. Set VKD3D to its latest available version.
4. Disable DXVK.

3. Launch and verify

1. Run the Affinity app.
2. Open its preferences and check the hardware acceleration setting to confirm OpenCL is active.

Known Issues

❌ OpenCL support is early and unreliable

OpenCL is in very early stages for Affinity apps on Wine. It might not work even on a supported Nvidia GPU.

Troubleshooting

No confirmed fixes exist yet for OpenCL-specific failures. If OpenCL doesn't appear active after following the steps above, treat this as expected for now, given the experimental status. Check General Known Issues for related Wine rendering problems.
