D9VK, the project based on DXVK for translating D3D9 to Vulkan which is used together with Wine has a massive new release now available.

Joshua Ashton sure is doing some impressive work, how ridiculously quickly this has come along is crazy. I'm constantly astonished by all the work going on in various projects like this, to help keep pushing Linux gaming forwards in so many different ways.

Released just recently, D9VK 0.12 code-named "Cool Lookin' Blue Frog" includes much improved performance in various areas thanks to entirely rewritten texture code, which should be faster overall. There's also a rewritten presentation and swapchain code, improvements to stuttering for games like A Hat in Time and League of Legends and various new features which will also improve rendering in a bunch more games too.

There's also a ton of bug fixes that come along with this release, you can see the full release notes here.

As a reminder, there's a post in our forum with people showing off various shots of it running, quite fun to follow along.

Awesome! I was playing A Hat in Time through Proton, but the performance was quite bad. Switched to d9vk and it was incredibly fast, but I experienced some crashes. Seems those are fixed now!

The original Skyrim yes. Special Edition is DX11 I believe.

Yes! I also once tried that game but with the same issue as you described. I need to check it out as well! :D

I wondering when Lutris will add D9VK support

Would be nice. At least for now you can manually download the latest version and just reference it under the DXVK version drop-down.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought Murdered would make use of DX11. o.O

And works great with DXVK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UO04FVYV0Ew

Murderer soul suspect have both modes (dx9-dx11) but dx9 is needed for pass cementery as Comandante Ñoñardo said in past
