don't buy it. it works yeah and performs also, but there are still issues, like cannot use A and D when in vehicles for example. Also water from the distance is glitchy
Thanks a lot for your intervention! ;)

I tried it with ark on wine 3.7 staging. with my gtx 780 3gb on medium custom settings and 2580x1080 resolution it reaches an avarage of 40 fps around my mega base ;)

Download DXKV on Github, extract and then :

WINEPREFIX=/path_of_your_wine_prefix bash "/path_of_your_dxkv_dir/dxvk-0.42/x64/setup_dxvk.sh"

It works with wine 3.5 and above w/o doing anything else.
Now I succeeded in using wine staging 3.6 with vulkan. But I don't understand why in dxvk_hud it shows me (using command WINEDEBUG="-all" DXVK_HUD=1 wine gameIwanttoplay.exe) vulkan version 1.0.65. On my ubuntu I have vulkan 1.1.70 installed. Do I have to install Vulkan api in wine?
Sorry for my ignorance..
It was the same for me when i was on Nvidia 390.48 drivers. Now i'm on 396.18 and it says 1.1.70, however i wouldn't recommend installing 396.18 driver, it has a new compiler and it doesn't play well with DXVK, some games drops to half in performance. As a workaround i use __GL_NextGenCompiler=0 variable to disable that new compiler.
Ok, thanks a lot!
For information I tried out Ark with dxvk, and compared to WIN version I have significant fps drop (maybe because I am a noob), but compared to linux native I have graphically a completely new game. Sad but true.
