It's one of the biggest news, it's not the biggest news for Linux gamers for a long time!
Last time I feel so excited it was the announce of the Steam client port on Linux or the first Tomb Raider Linux version.
But for the moment I didn't find the button to install Windows games on Linux....where is it lol
Oh my god there is Tekken 7 in the Whitelist!!! Where is this f..ing Steam play button???

Incredible:
Some games (DarkSiders, Dark Souls prepare to die edition) had some issues with the gamepad, they didn't detect it or the controls were badly emulated (the famous spinning camera bug).
It seems this problem does not occur anymore if you use Wine 3.14 and https://github.com/kozec/dumbxinputemu [External Link] dll.
What did the Wine team changed with the xinput emulation?

Quoting: Shmerlwinetricks is just a script. It would simply work as:

WINEPREFIX=/path_to_your_prefix winetricks dxvk

I don't like this method though since it overwrites files. I prefer to use symlink installation with setup_dxvk.sh

Yes but the "setup_dxvk.sh" script is not maintained anymore by DXVK author and is no more available on the git sources.
You can read an interesting discussion about that here:

Quoting: Mohandevir

Quoting: legluondunetFirst I downloaded the last DXVK release, then I launch this command from DXVK folder where the verb file located:
WINEPREFIX=/home/legluondunet/wineprefix/BATMAN/ winetricks setup_dxvk.verb

Sweet! Thanks a lot! Going to try that!

Edit1: Did just that and it seems it installed (no error messages), but something is wrong. Witcher3 doesn't launch anymore. "Missing d3d11.dll". When I look in winecfg, all D3D10 and D3D11 dlls are installed in the library... Trying to reinstall them in winecfg works but I get terrbile performances (like no dxvk is used) and I still can't find DXVK anywhere in Winetricks... Back to DXVK-65 manually installed.

Edit2: Tried with a brand new wineprefix. It works! Awesome! Thanks again.

Because you had to delete all the symbolic links created by the old script before to install DXVK with winetricks.

I've been looking into Winetricks for DXVK (dll or components, apps) but couldn't find anything with wine-devel... Is it called something else?

Thanks, but how does it works with winetricks? It's not an official winetricks package?

Sorry, my experience with winetricks is really minimal. Last time I used it, it was back in 2011 and I didn't need to use anything not included in it. I understand that there is some kind of script to automatically determine the version of DXVK that wine must use, but how is it "activated"? What should I do?

I just bought Turok on Gog for less that 5$, the porter did a very good job, install and play without bug, it just works!

Note: the gamepad should be connected to your computer before to launch the game or the game will not detect it once launched.

Quoting: noxWoW no longer requires the "DXVK_FAKE_DX10_SUPPORT" to run! :D

This variable and others are now obsolete:

With this new DXVK changes, I can finally launch and play "Assassin's Creed™: Director's Cut Edition" directx10 version.
It's the first time I can play this game since I bought it in 2013 on Steam...
But Just Cause II is still too unstable.

It's impressive the new number of games we can recently play on Linux with last Wine + DXVK progress.

I'm so excited to test this right now on Just Cause 2. Until now I can not play this game on Wine. Compilation in progress...
