^ That's more on wine and/or Valve's end I'm afraid. Not much DXVK can do about that.
Some information on why Wine is not going to be using DXVK

This is pretty mysterious. I would understand entirely if Doitsujin just wanted to keep DXVK its own project, but that would be a pretty simple point to get across to the community as well as to them. I do know there has been talk -- which he's been involved in -- about adding compatibility to DXVK's DXGI implementation for VKD3D, so I know at the very least he's not against some collaboration.
While I don't want to take sides or make assumptions, tbh his decision not to say anything publicly vs the codeweaver's dev kind of whining about it sure doesn't look good on the latter.
It's definitely a shame though. DXVK is damn good and lately I actually do just replace wined3d11 with it using TKG's PKGBUILDs. I don't play anything that uses DX12 so it hardly matters. DXVK seems to perform better when compiled as a wine library in a lot of cases and the issues where it doesn't would probably be smoothed over if it was fully integrated into Wine itself...
