D3D11 and D3D10 to Vulkan layer DXVK version 1.4.4 is out

By - | Views: 10,502

One missed from the weekend, developer Philip Rebohle released a fresh update to the Vulkan layer DXVK with version 1.4.4.

A small and sweet maintenance release we have here with a couple of optimizations. The memory footprint of small and frequently updated buffers was reduced, there's some minor optimizations for "Stream Output and Append/Consume buffers (used e.g. by Unity Engine)", a bug fixed from DXVK 1.4.3 that caused some invalid state cache entries being generated, some Vulkan validation errors with geometry shaders were fixed and some "potential read-after-write hazards involving vertex and index buffers" were also solved.

Some games also got a few workarounds with this update. In particular The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition when used with the ENB pack should crash less, Saints Row 3/4 and Titan Quest also got a workaround for flickering issues with NVIDIA GPUs.

It also removes a "useless" d3d10.enable configuration option since it's no longer needed.

As always, see the full info on GitHub.
