As we speculated previously, Valve have now officially announced their new version of 'Steam Play' for Linux gaming using a modified distribution of Wine, called Proton.
Reddit seems to be buzzing with information from SteamDB showing indications that Valve might be adding support for compatibility tools to enable you to play games on operating systems they weren't designed for, like Wine.
There's so many incredible things going on around Wine right now it's hard to keep track. DXVK is now expanding to support Direct3D 10 over Vulkan in Wine. There's also a new Direct3D 9-to-11 project to convert Direct3D 9 programs to Direct3D 11.
DXVK continues to astound me in both the speed of development and just how much it can do. This Vulkan-based layer to provide D3D11 in Wine has matured with another new release.
The developer of the very interesting DXVK project has mentioned that the next release is going to do away with environment variables in favour of per-game configuration files.
The amazing progress with DXVK continues! This Vulkan-based compatibility layer for Direct3D 11 with Wine just put out version 0.64 with fixes for Dragonball Xenoverse 2, Final Fantasy XV and more.
First of all the latest Wine development release is out with Wine 3.13 and on top of that DXVK for Vulkan-based D3D11 in Wine also release version 0.63.
The awesome DXVK project for Vulkan D3D11 in Wine has another fresh release out and it's a pretty good one. There's also another project called DXUP that can be used with DXVK.
For those keen to keep up with the exciting progress of the Vulkan-based compatibility layer for D3D 11 and Wine 'DXVK', you will be pleased to know a fresh release is now out.
