Quoting: Luke_NukemI hope Valve picks it up, or at least includes it in SteamOS with a curated list of supported games that people can install - Steam & SteamOS level support for Wine would be a damn good way to entice some people over.

You don't need Valve for that. Supported however means that developers should maintain their games and address issues that can arise in Wine+dxvk when their games are used with them.

Quoting: elmapulthe issue is, to report a bug i need to know how the game suppose to work, in other words, i need the same game on either windows or an console,

Not necessarily. Some bugs are quite obvious distortions. For non obvious, you can post on game forums for those who play it on Windows for example to ask to compare. No need to have Windows itself.

Quoting: elmapulnot everyone is willing to be a beta tester

Then as I said, check for reported games, and avoid ones that aren't reported yet.

Quoting: GuestProjects can’t just accept code written in any random language the contributor prefers.

They can reconsider, if no one else offers such contributions. Pretty pragmatic.

Anyway, I don't think it's a big issue for dxvk, since it just changes very isolated area (two DLLs). Even if it's never upstreamed, something like winetricks can offer installing it, like many other things.

Quoting: iiariWell, be it Valve or someone else, this is an amazingly impressive effort and the entire ecosystem can benefit.

Absolutely. Thinking of it. One reason someone might want to avoid publicizing the sponsorship is a moot state of APIs copyrightability in US. Especially since MS came on the opposing side of this argument last time (they tried to convince courts that APIs should be copyrightable).

Quoting: EgonautYou mean like with the Linux Kernel, which also only accepts C Code? ;)

Partially. For instance, I think it would be good for Linux to accept Rust code.

Quoting: liamdaweI doubt it's that far off being included directly in Wine.

It will get never into Wine, because DXVK is mostly written in C++ and the Wine project only accepts C code. Sorry to burst your bubble :)

Which is an unreasonable limitation.

Quoting: iiariIs anyone keeping a list of what titles DXVK enables to be used, similar to what WineHQ does for Wine?

I just answered this question, one comment above yours.

May be opening some wiki about it would be useful.

Quoting: elmapulwhat i want to know is:
whats is needed to an game to run perfectly, and what we already have...

It's a young project, so games coverage is far from comprehensive. Check the list of known bugs. If your game is not listed there - then your guess is as good as any. If you already have the game - try it out and see for yourself and report bugs about what doesn't work. If you don't have the game - better don't buy it then.

Quoting: cRaZy-bisCuiTIs there a way of donating him a few bugs to keep motivation up and show my appreciation?

This suggests, that someone is already sponsoring the project, but it's just a guess. Given various compatibility efforts by Valve, I wouldn't be surprised if them or someone similar is backing it.

Quoting: ShmerlMost modern games should depend less on single core performance, that's a thing from the past already.

I know, but what about legacy Linux games? All of them are OpenGL and that thing rely on the single core performance.

Not to the degree that they are unplayable. At least I didn't have any issues with older games on Ryzen 7 1700X.

Ryzen 2 can help there though, since they raised base clocks by default and it supports better boost.
