For vkbasalt you need ENABLE_VKBASALT=1. Or you can enable Mangohud and Vkbasalt globally on goverlay.
but when i enable it globally will it only start with MANGOHUD=1 or all the time?

Vkbasalt is such a bless for Linux as ENB not working. At least on my system :D
I can speak only for my experience with Fallout 4, but ENB and Vulkan does work.

What you need to do:

  • Place the ENB stuff into your game folder

  • Download latest version of DXVK and unzip it somewhere.

  • Assuming that the game uses d3d11, rename the d3d11.dll from DXVK to something else, like d3d11_vulkan.dll

  • Copy dxgi.dll (if not using reshade, else see comment below) and d3d11_vulkan.dll from DXVK into your game directory

  • Edit enblocal.ini and change the first block "[PROXY]" to this:
    • EnableProxyLibrary=true

    • InitProxyFunctions=true

    • ProxyLibrary=d3d11_vulkan.dll


  • Edit the launch options: WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dxgi.dll=n,b;d3d11.dll=n,b" %command%



reshade works too I think, but you need to also set up the reshade proxy to chain load the vulkan dxgi.dll (which I think you also need to rename then) in the reshade config.

Hope that helps!
ok i followed your complete tutorial, changed from the latest DXVK d3d9.dll to d3d9_vulkan.dll (skyrim),

  • ProxyLibrary=d3d9_vulkan.dll


  • WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dxgi.dll=n,b;d3d9.dll=n,b" %command%

    My loading times of skyrim went really high, but the ENB wont show up. looks still the same.
    Even i got like a text in the mainmenu with some details about the ENB
    Shift and Enter also won't open any menu.

    So it seems it is installed and in the same time not :D

    When you enable vkbasalt globally it will simply add a line ENABLE_VKBASALT=1 in your .profile file inside your home folder. So after a system restart every vulkan application will have vkbasalt enabled. The same thing happens to Mangohud = 1, they do not depend on each other. I noticed some cases (in manjaro kde for example) that the .bash_profile file creates problems with the global_enable. Just renaming it to .bash_profile.bak solved the problem, but i don't know if it can create problems in other parts of the system, it still needs more research.
    Ah good to know. Its just because on goverlay i thought with the toggle button which is in default on "home" i can turn on and off vkbasalt ingame. Just to be sure its working correct, to see the difference without. But its not working. Also the settings for reshade don't get saved right now. Would like to see the difference with them :) After restart the active effects in goverlay are always empty.

    XPRIZE Connect is trying to get kids coding with a competition

    This sounds very cool for kids.

    Hope its ok to ask here, but are there any programms out there to learn programming on linux without using the classic way, which i found boring and stopped after a week.

    There should be a way to learn the codes and in the same time you start to program a game.
    I checked out the programs mentioned for the contest and this does not look like real coding or am i wrong?

    Thanks in advance.
