    Optimization

    Click Options
    space_marine37.png

    Click Video Options
    space_marine38.png

    Adjust:
    • Aspect Ratio
    • Resolution
    • Shadows
    • Visual FX Detail
    • Post Processing
    • Vertical Sync
    • Ambient Occlusion
    • Gamma
    • Brightness
    Click Accept
    space_marine39.png

    Important: Post Processing needs to be set to "OFF" because it can cause graphical artifacts

    Rule of Thumb:
    High settings = More detail, lower frame rates
    Low settings = Less detail, higher frame rates

    Conclusion:
    Warhammer 40K Space Marine ran perfectly on my GTX 1060 with a resolution of 1920x1080. Once I turned off Post Processing everything looked great. I'm happy that Wine updates finally allowed this game to run... as I had tested it years ago and it refused to launch.

    You may have to install dsound, xaudio or some other package.
    Do you have sound in other games using Wine?

    I have avoided Arch like the "plague" because it looks like too much work.
    Then again, I need to keep things as simple and "vanilla" as possible when I test games. Which is why I use Mint Cinnamon. Its quick, simple and fairly easy for anyone to setup and use.

    Well I got sound on Arch Linux and game is beautiful running amazing. I recommend if you are on Arch distro and having problems, switch to manjaro Arch.

    WINE 3.7 Playonlinux

    These are my settings
    Resolution is 1920x1080 16.9
    HIgh
    High

    Please turn off these if you're getting weird glitch effects like I was. You might not need to turn off Ambient Occlusion, but i did
    post-processing;
    Ambient Occlusion

    I also need to fix my mouse as both my mouses have HIGH DPI my corsair and razer chroma. The razer mouse didn't use to be so fast but prob need to install software might slow down a bit.
