Stupid question: Does anybody knows how to test SE3?
I own a steam copy and places the grvk dlls in the common/Sniper Elite 3 folder next to the steam_api.dll but the launcher - which should have an option to enable mantle - seems not to load these files (e.g. no log is generated).
I was also unable to find a parameter to tell the main executable to use mantle.

@sehraf go in the launcher options, there should be a checkbox to enable Mantle in there. I haven't tried it myself.

From what i've seen, Sniper Elite III used to have a dedicated mantle exe. If there is not one now, maybe the developers removed mantle support or something.

This is all i can find:

find . -iname '*.exe'
./bin/SniperElite3.exe
./Launcher/Sniper3Launcher.exe
./redist/DllCheck/DllCheck.exe

Looking at this @xatornet might be right

Yeah, Mantle support was removed from Sniper Elite 3 in the last update (2019)

Answer 6 · 2021-03-16T17:42:47.000Z

You should be able to download older version from Steam by downloading old depot; unfortunately I don't have the game to test it…

Answer 7 · 2021-03-16T18:05:46.000Z

Thanks! I wasn't aware that this is a legit feature!

I got the executable using:
download_depot 238090 238105 7018350587412657571

Then copy it into the bin folder:
cp ../../../ubuntu12_32/steamapps/content/app_238090/depot_238105/bin/SniperElite3_Mantle.exe bin

EDIT:
Running it just does nothing/crashs(Linux) or starts the launcher (windows). No grvk log is created.

Answer 8 · 2021-03-16T18:45:24.000Z

Well, if the support was removed, then as it is the only game that uses Asura Engine, maybe it's better to use DXVK on this ?

could you share the exe file? or pm to me? I don't own the game, so I won't be able to download it.

Here you go XXXX
Password is the name of this project (all lower case). @libcg if you prefer to not have this here, let me know.

Thanks, you can take the file down now, I've downloaded it . Just to avoid any problem. Thanks for it

Answer 11 · 2021-03-16T22:05:27.000Z

Ok, i've tested it with the Mantle exe, and it creates a log on the main folder, not bin, here it is:

How did your manage to run it? Simply starting it? Are you on Windows or Linux?
I don't have a grvk log in any folder.

I'm on Windows 10. Just copy mantle32.dll inside bin folder. Also, use AMD's mantleaxl32.dll loader inside bin folder too. Then, the grvk.log will be created inside the game's main folder, outside bin folder.

Please,remember to remove the exe file, I have it already. Thanks

Answer 14 · 2021-03-16T22:14:40.000Z

Ah! I was missing mantleaxl32.dll which was just in the root folder. Will give it a try tomorrow.

I've deleted the post.

Answer 15 · 2021-03-17T17:39:35.000Z

The latest revision of GRVK generates a stubbed mantleaxl32.dll that can replace the original one.

Answer 16 · 2021-05-19T16:44:16.000Z

0.4.0 update: not working
(grvk.log shows nothing beside === GRVK 0.4.0 ===)

Moving to #43
