Wine 3.9 released adding in the start of Direct 3D 12 over Vulkan support with vkd3d

Just use Lutris if your having trouble, pretty close to out of the box DXVK support. Just don't expect it to be all smooth sailing, still many games have odd issues that need work arounds.

Still requires allot of tinkering and patches, for example FO4 and SkyrimSE work without the dsound/fo4 fixes which I don't think are even merged yet.

Then there is still odd sound cut out and render glitches in some games, you can sometimes fix them but requires lots of trial and error, and random luck.

Been playing FO4 lately, finally got it working without sound cutting out 20mins in, but that doesn't mean it won't happen again because of the effect of planetary alignment on my prefix...

or if I don't hold my tongue at the correct angle.
vkd3d for Direct3D 12 to Vulkan in Wine has released the first stable version

Well it could be passed to OpenGL to be done. Not sure how well that will work however, could kill performance, but then again we are talking about a small part of a game being affected here not the entire render pipeline.

Witcher 3 works with DXVK, but physX hair doesn't work and there are some NPCs suffering triangle-hell mutations. Apparently related to missing Stream output.
I have a funny feeling DXVK will figure out a workaround that just resolves it another way instead of relying on VulkanAPI to do it. Hopefully.
What are you playing on Linux this weekend and what do you think about it?

Deep Rock Galactic (DXVK), some Dying Light, wish I could afford beer :/


Quoting: GuestUrgh, nothing!
so I can finally play wow with decent performance for once.

DXVK not good enough? wow is dx11 now isn't it?

https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/issues/343 (second last post shows you howto steal amdgpu-pro vulkan files for better performance!)

Not sure how well it works at present, always worth trying latest master and drivers!

Phoronix AMD vs NVIDIA results (latest)

AMD is doing fine, the RX580 is one of the best buys while results for Vega can be somewhat varied. Hopefully AMD figure out a 1080ti killer at low TDP (250W?) sometime. Honestly the world is moving onto 4k and anything less then a 1080ti is asking for trouble....

Haven't heard much about the inventory system or the base building aspects. Wonder if that is simplified or if its like xcom traditional.

I liked how it was done in xenonauts
Vulkan layer for Direct3D 11 & Wine 'DXVK' updated with fixes for Dark Souls 3, Overwatch & more

Yeah I have that disabled by default with Lutris. However I found some games benefit from the new compiler such as the 32bit version of Warthunder (because native sucks), without it you get freezes.

But for most games you will get corruption unless the game specifically throws in support for it (warthunder does).
