I recently turned a "new" machine into my gaming box, slapped Gentoo on it and installed Eve. I'm using Wine 1.9.20 with d3d9 support and the amdgpu/radeonsi drivers with an R9 390X. When I turn on d3d9 support in winecfg, I sometimes get a weird jitter in the game, depending on what I'm looking at. The framerate is actually not affected by this, however, the image jumps around like crazy, 2D intereface elements flicker, it all looks really weird. I can reduce it by turning down shader quality, but it doesn't ever go away completely. If I turn off d3d9 support, it goes away, but my FPS also drop significantly, so I'd really like to keep it on.

Now, I know d3d9 is experimental, and this may just be a bug. I also realize AMD cards aren't all that common. Still, has anyone of you experienced this and been able to figure out a workaround?

I updated Mesa from 12.0.1 to 13.0.1 and xf86_video_amdgpu from 1.1.0 to 1.2.0. After a bit of playing, my impression is that there's less wonkyness, but that may just be a coincidence. The problem persists.

I'm not sure if you issue was related to mine (mine resulted in hard freezes and a tainted kernel), but I just posted a new thread about it here: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=500545
