Path of Exile fails to launch with "Failed to create WIC Factory" about dxvk HOT 6 CLOSED

Not directly related to D3D11, this is something that needs to be fixed in Wine.

Yeah I completely missed the ++ b/dlls/ole32/compobj.c in https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=59204&action=diff making it seem like the diff only touched b/dlls/dxgi/utils.c.

Anyway, running it with the relevant bit of the patch applied yields a different results:

• Game reports an exception:
  
• d3d11.log: d3d11.log
• dxgi.log: dxgi.log

Still no apitrace.

@gravndal Did you have any progress in solving this last exception you reported? Because I'm stuck at the same stage.

@kakra The game runs just fine with Mesa 18.1.1, and recent builds of DXVK and Wine Staging with the relevant half of the patch I linked applied, namely:

This fix didn't help here, and according to latest updates in the wine bug tracker, it is also no longer needed. But let me try again, I'll report back. I first want to fix rendering issues I'm seeing in Witcher 3 with DXVK to sort other potential problems out.

Let me correct this: I indeed already have it in my bugfixes patchset:
kakra/wine@3c21141

from dxvk.

Meanwhile, I've fixed another problem (PoE couldn't load textures). My wine patchsets include the windowscodecs patches from staging which fixes this problem and it runs flawlessly. I'm currently in the process of upgrading the patches to wine-3.12. You can have a look here:

https://github.com/kakra/wine

Please export patches from the branches as you feel needing them. patches-3.xx/wincodecs is definitely one of the needed patches. The patches are based against vanilla wine and work with dxvk. I'm running it successfully: PoE works mostly without stutters (only when shaders are seen the first time), and works pretty well in 4k resolution (40+ fps) without dynamic resolution dropping it back to 1/2 resolution.

The pulseaudio patches allow PoE to see your headset/headphones as a separate device so you can assign them within PoE.

The rest are some more or less necessary bugfixes and performance patches you may want to use. This patchset also runs other games here like Skyrim SE and Witcher 3 with DXVK without problems so far.
