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.

Quoting: GuestSorry 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.

Quoting: Mar2ckWell, 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.Quoting: GuestA tutorial for installing DXVK on Lutris would be great.

Now only the basic steps are needed:
cd /your/dxvk/directory/bin
WINEPREFIX=/your/wineprefix bash setup_dxvk.shFor most games 64bit dxvk is needed I think, though some require 32bit - eg Assasins Creed IV.
