wine-affinity

Wine patches for running Affinity on Linux.

These patches are used by run-affinity, a portable, ready-to-use installer for running Affinity on Linux.

These patches apply cleanly on top of Wine upstream commit 53d513e6 (Wine 11.5).

• GPU OpenCL acceleration works through DXVK's DXGI layer — ElementalWarrior's cl_khr_d3d10_sharing implementation (patches 0003, 0004)
• Application freezes on complex vector paths due to unbounded bezier splitting (patches 0002, 0005)
• Accurate path rendering — cubic Béziers are properly approximated with adaptive quadratic subdivision instead of a single lossy quadratic, based on noahc3/WineFix (patch 0008)
• Path outline artifacts — collinear outline joins no longer produce visible spikes on smooth curve continuations at zoomed-out levels (patch 0009)
• DXCore adapter enumeration with correct PCI ID reporting — ElementalWarrior (patch 0003)
• Native file dialogs via XDG Desktop Portal — Alexander Wilms, requires libdbus-1 and xdg-desktop-portal (patches 0006, 0007)

Pre-built DLLs are available in Releases. To use them, copy the files into your Wine prefix:

# Replace these with your actual Wine prefix path
PREFIX=~/.wine

cp d2d1.dll dxcore.dll opencl.dll comdlg32.dll "$PREFIX/drive_c/windows/system32/"
cp opencl.so comdlg32.so "$PREFIX/drive_c/windows/system32/"

Then set the DLL overrides so Wine uses these instead of the builtins:

WINEPREFIX="$PREFIX" wine reg add 'HKCU\Software\Wine\DllOverrides' /v d2d1 /d native /f
WINEPREFIX="$PREFIX" wine reg add 'HKCU\Software\Wine\DllOverrides' /v dxcore /d native /f
WINEPREFIX="$PREFIX" wine reg add 'HKCU\Software\Wine\DllOverrides' /v opencl /d native /f
WINEPREFIX="$PREFIX" wine reg add 'HKCU\Software\Wine\DllOverrides' /v comdlg32 /d native /f

Apply the patches and build:

git clone https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine.git
cd wine
git checkout 53d513e626205d5506b7e959bf73b22fd1c17908
git am /path/to/wine-affinity/*.patch
./configure --enable-win64
make -j$(nproc) dlls/d2d1 dlls/dxcore dlls/opencl dlls/comdlg32

The built DLLs will be in dlls/d2d1/, dlls/dxcore/, dlls/opencl/, and dlls/comdlg32/.

Note: patch 0006 requires libdbus-1-dev at configure time for comdlg32.so to be built.

• ElementalWarrior (James McDonnell) — wintypes hack, dxcore patches, original opencl cl_khr_d3d10_sharing implementation
• noahc3 — cubic Bézier subdivision algorithm (AffinityPluginLoader/WineFix)
• Alexander Wilms — XDG Desktop Portal file dialog integration (Wine MR !10060)
