Wow, this is indeed really cool.

Quoting: elmapulkind of expected, wine has to deal with reverse enginering windows+writing an translation layer in openGL, dxvk only has to deal with writing the translation layer in vulkan since the effort into reverse enginering was already made by the wine team.

I would be careful with assumptions about the work behind DXVK and how much could be based on other D3D translation layers. It would be a good question to DXVK/D9VK's authors and core contributors though.

On a side note: Considering that much response to a new DXVK release I guess it is really going well with gaming on Linux ;)

Assetto Corsa Competizione via Steam Play since I found solution's to the three problems I had when running this game (frame time spikes, windows media foundation, proton msctf regression with UE4 engine). Works perfectly now and is so much fun!

Quoting: Avehicle7887

Quoting: JompaYou can try these scripts from github

I think i used the 2nd one to get both Call of Cthulhu and The Sinking City to work, with some minor bugs but playable.

Thanks for those, I had the first one but not the 2nd (which is what I need for Darksiders 1). Tried it over the weekend but hit a snag, a small issue on my end but definitely a good start.

Again, thanks!

What is still missing on your end?

Quoting: Avehicle7887Still hoping for the day more work goes into mfplat. It can be a nightmare with some games.

Yes, that would indeed be cool.
Is there already a good reliable alternative (winetricks-like) way to get full media foundation functionality into a prefix?

Thanks, will give it a try for Assetto Corsa Competizione.

It took me quite some time, but I succeeded based on your links with some extra work, thanks a lot!

Wishlisted. I've only played some levels of the first game back then. I guess soon will be a good time to look into part 2.

Quoting: Guest...and ok, I'm commented out now. I probably won't post anymore, because I'm running out of things to say, but allow me to thank you for the nice discussion! Strange but true: allows me to de-stress from work.

I want to echo your ending, thanks a lot as well for your replies and thoughts! Have a nice and quiet evening!

PS: Regarding early preview of extension, I think this is (kind of) already happening, e.g. Valve bringing the DXVK author early into the progress of the transform-feedback Vulkan extension.
PPS: Indeed thanks for the reminder of 3rd party IP, this may indeed play a much bigger role than it seems.
