DXVK v2.5.3 released with more improvements for Windows games on Linux
13 Jan 2025 at 8:59 pm UTC Likes: 2

​This dxvk version in my case runs ok with mesa 25 of 2025

Testing resident evil hd remaster seems work ok

and system shock remake (unreal engine 4) seems work ok too:

However them stay working now in two things:

https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/pull/4609 [External Link]

Big refactor that moves a lot of responsibility to the backend, where it should have been in the first place.

Key changes:

Vulkan surface and swapchain creation now happens entirely in the backend.

Instead of this clusterfuck where the front-end needs to manually synchronize everything through four different threads and then pray that it actually works, we now just set swapchain properties via a bunch of functions that can then get applied during the next acquireNextImage call.

Enabled automatic conversion between HDR10 and scRGB color spaces if the system only supports one of those and the game uses the other.

This is definitely not well tested with actual HDR content though.

Fixed broken blending with the HUD and software cursor in non-linear color spaces (sRGB if the image format is non-sRGB; HDR10)

Needs lots of testing, especially in D3D9 apps since there are so many weird edge cases wrt swapchain usage.
