I don't want to try, but I want to know how many "new users" will appear in the site because of this offer :)

DXVK 1.5 released with D9VK merged in for D3D9 support, plus a statement on DXVK's future

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoOk. Do I still need to put PROTON_USE_D9VK=1?
Good question

D9VK is no more as it merges with DXVK, making DXVK a D3D 9/10/11 to Vulkan layer

Quoting: Sir_DiealotIsn't DXVK that project that just went into maintenance mode because it's not feasible to develop it further?
No, that was other sites making a mountain out of a little GitHub comment rant. Don't read into it.
Isn't GitHub the only channel the DXVK dev uses to communicate? In those little comment rants he clearly stated that after the merge of D9VK his project is going maintenance mode, because it's a "fragile, unreliable and frustrating maintenance nightmare". AFAIK he did not retract that anywhere. Do you know something we don't know or what?
No it's not, they have their own Discord. Don't take comments made out of frustration, as actual plans.
This situation reminds me that case with the devs of Linux mint back in april. I hope we can get a feedback direct from him about this case.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPGood. Now merge DXVK with Wine.
I hope they don't do this. I'm not a fan of redundant work too, but I think maintaining wine as generic as possible it's the best way to keep things working, while projects like proton can "fork" it to our specific needs (games above everything else in our case) without the risk to break something not related to it.

As long as both projects continue to help each other, this current approach is the best option in my opinion :)

Does Proton will fallback to wined3d if a non-vulkan video is detected? If yes, then it's awesome :)

Quoting: x_wingyou can activate ACO backend by setting RADV_PERFTEST=aco env variable.
Does it work if I put DRI_PRIME=1 RADV_PERFTEST=aco %command% in the launch option of the game?

Do we have to do something to use ACO by default? I'm using Mesa 20 but I don't know if ACO is activated
