Additionally, Wine 3.19 was updated against Vulkan 1.1.88.

So it means you don't need to build Wine with patches now to enable VK_EXT_transform_feedback to use with dxvk in games like The Witcher 3. The last remaining milestone for it now is Mesa landing transform feedback patches.

I don't think using Vulkan engine is an issue. Supporting retro hardware is an extra effort (for one, they'd need to test on it for example so they need actual hardware). Just because they are using a retro style engine doesn't mean they need to support retro computers.

For example, I won't appreciate if they'll make the release 32-bit because of it (Ion Maiden is 64-bit if I remember correctly, so that already makes it unusable on the old 32-bit computers).

Why no full release on itch.io if they already released their demo there?

Will there be a new round of stats for GOL post? There wasn't one in a while.

What about We Happy Few? They stopped providing Kickstarter updates and went completely silent. It's been a long time since the release already. How long should it take them to make a Linux build?

Quoting: jensWhat about moving the interesting bits and pieces from vkd3d directly into DXVK, thus adding DX12 support to DXVK? I mean you have to to something with your time considering DX11 support is now mostly complete in DXVK.. :)

Wouldn't that be unnecessary duplication? It's better to make both projects work together if possible, than to duplicate them.

Quoting: GuestBut Nvidia Hairworks doesn't work with this combination for me. Am I doing something wrong? Or is this feature not implemented right now?

Are you using patched Wine? Wine didn't catch up yet.

Quoting: C_Monk3yThat min FPS number and most stuttering can be avoided with pba patch. I'm surprised that it's now part of upstream wine already.

PBA shouldn't be relevant for it, it's for wined3d.

OK, Wine needs patching to support latest Vulkan, since those changes didn't make to Wine master yet. You can get them here for now:
