Vsync doesn't work on Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood, but the game itself works out of the box.

There is a way to enable D9VK globally (at least, this works for me):

Go to the PROTON 4.11 folder and open the file "proton"..

Go to this line: dxvkfiles = ["d3d11", "d3d10", "d3d10core", "d3d10_1", "dxgi"]
And add "d3d9" to that line as shown in the pic.



Before trying to run a game with this Proton version, make sure to delete the game shader cache that is located inside ..../steamapps/shadercache

I'm glad to notify that Earthfall WORKS AGAIN with this workaround [External Link].

Go to your Steam Library
Right Click on Earthfall
Click "Properties"
Select "Betas" tab
Choose from the drop down menu: "classic - last UE 4.16 build"
"Close" and wait for the game to install

I don't buy Artifex Mundi games anymore because they don't want to translate their games to the Spanish language...
Time ago, their games were available in spanish, but not anymore.

by the way, the latest driver, the 430.26, via PPA doesn't work on my 16.04LTS

I just experienced the bad side of SteamPlay:
Earthfall was working Out of The box, ready for to be whitelisted, but after the last game update, it doesn't work anymore due to some UE4 fatal error.. The game just crash.

Obviously, I will not get support from the game devs, so the solution (if it is any) must come from Proton Devs.

I think the only Steamplay games supported by Valve are the games in the white list.

D9VK 0.13 "Hypnotoad" is out, further advancing the D3D9 to Vulkan layer for Wine
9 Jul 2019 at 5:42 pm UTC

Right now I use D9VK pasting the d3d9.dll in the same folder of the game binary and using
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="d3d9=n" %command%
But, how to enable D9Vk as the default d3d9 layer for the entire Proton without console commands?
