The Wine development team has just put out Wine 3.5, continuing to advance their official Vulkan support.

Here's the highlights:

  • More Vulkan support, including the vulkan-1 loader.
  • Support for RSA and ECDSA cryptographic keys.
  • Improved manifest file parser.
  • Support for the Places toolbar in file dialogs.
  • Various bug fixes.

In previous builds of Wine, to get Vulkan working properly you had to do some manual work. Now that's not the case, as they've put in their own minimal Vulkan loader.

In regards to bug fixes, they noted 58 fixed up until this release. These include problems sorted in games like Empire Earth, Age of Mythology, Battlefield 3, Starcraft 2, The Witcher 3 and more.

DXVK works fine, as I was playing ESO using dxvk, no idea on space engineers yet, but I'll give it a try asap.

I've tried it but im dumb.

Oh c'mon. That's not the reason. I've not tried it, but I'm pretty sure that shit is hard.

A tutorial for installing DXVK on Lutris would be great. I've tried it but im dumb.

You can start with a pre-existing DXVK script. For example, I just installed Mass Effect: Andromeda using the Lutris script (uses DXVK).

I heard there is a vulnerability in RSA and it should be switched away from. Of course for WINE compatibility it makes sense to have it no matter what.

What vulnerability? Did not hear anything, as far as I know RSA is still good, because otherwise that would be huge news.

Look up project gorgon there are a linux release on luanch day. You guys forgot that mmorpg game cuz there isnt that many games out there with mmorpg for linux. What i dont get it with todays games. Some games looks kinda ugly more ugly than cs 1.6 in my option. And it requires gtx 1050 or so xD.
Maybe cuz its expensive Right???.

Sorry to sound dumb, but how do I enable this Vulkan-Loader?
You don't, it is enabled by default since Wine 3.5.

However, I found out that I've had to delete the Windows folder from my previous generated Wineprefix to have it work. Probably some previous created libraries don't work together with Wine 3.5 and delete the whole Windows folder is the easiest way.

If you have added any registry keys before (Wine-Vulkan), you should remove those as well. Those aren't needed with Wine 3.5 and might create conflicts.

Well, since this wine version, as it already comes with bundled Vulkan, there's no need to install the Vulkan SDK / run installvulkan.sh from dxvk-tools.

Now only the basic steps are needed:cd /your/dxvk/directory/bin
WINEPREFIX=/your/wineprefix bash setup_dxvk.sh


For most games 64bit dxvk is needed I think, though some require 32bit - eg Assasins Creed IV.
