VulkanSDK-1.0.51.0-Installer.exe
copied winevulkan.json
make some registry adjustment
.reg file
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Khronos\Vulkan\Drivers]
"C:\\Windows\\winevulkan.json"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Khronos\Vulkan\Drivers]
"C:\\Windows\\winevulkan.json"=dword:00000000
As above
Already tried with lowercase "windows" and "Windows"
However when I ran vulkaninfo for wine I get

And some very long stuffs ...
Presentable Surfaces:
=====================
GPU id : 0 (AMD RADV POLARIS11 (LLVM 5.0.1))
I am using Arch Linux kernel 4.14.29-1 and RADV as you see above.
Wine is installed from the "multilib/wine 3.4-1"
My wine vulkan files in system32
wine/drive_c/windows/system32/vulkan-1-1-0-51-0.dllwine/drive_c/windows/system32/vulkan-1.dll
wine/drive_c/windows/system32/vulkaninfo-1-1-0-51-0.exe
wine/drive_c/windows/system32/vulkaninfo.exe
wine/drive_c/windows/system32/winevulkan.dll
Anyone got some idea let me know.
So I'm reverted back to my cached wine-staging-nine-2.21-1, since dxvk can work without wine-vulkan in wine 2.x
it doesn't appear winevulkan.dll is generatedit complains something about ICD iirc when running the cube.exe, can anyone confirm the above release works? (if so,how?)edit: problem solved in wine 3.5
