DXVK, the Vulkan compatibility layer for Direct3D 11 and Wine has a fresh release reducing CPU overhead

Quoting: Ehvis

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoIs this DX11 for games exclusive or it works with DX9 games too?...

Just DX11 (and maybe DX10 later). DX9 is different.

I didn't know that...
It will be good to see a performance comparative between DX11 games ported to Linux and DX11 games running via wine with DXVK..

WoW this looks good. Btw i found an cool OS Kibojoe Linux very minimal arch linux with manjaro linux. If you into gaming i like lightwaight desktops. To not use much ram :D cuz i am still useing 8gb. And yeah i am useing right now is SteamOS. :D

It would be probably comparable, since most of those ported games, use quite similar approach of translating it into Vulkan.

Quoting: CyrilAnother question... ^^
For the last task, i want to use Witcher 3 (GOG version) but it's already installed on my System, as i tested it with wine-staging-2.21.
Can I just copy/paste the folder into the _DXVK_prefix?
I didn't install Steam also, I don't think it's necessary in my case, is it?

I recommend making a clean install of the GOG version (classic installer) into its own prefix, then enable dxvk there.

Alternatively, simply update your current prefix to latest Wine release or even Wine master (better build it from source to make sure it supports Vulkan), and then same way enable dxvk in it.

When building, don't forget Vulkan dev package.

Tried to run it and got that. There was also an exception window but I could not select it.
It's odd , I get the two logos then a black screen.
On regular wine (3.4 I think) i managed to see both the intros and the main menu but trying to start a game resulted in a black screen.

Are you using Steam version? If yes, make sure to disable Steam overlay. I've heard it's not compatible with dxvk. GOG version obviously shouldn't have this problem.

Still quite complex to do, it seems. Why no automated method exists? That's one of the point that is still harm gaming on linux OS. I need a step-by-step text tutorial (or a copy/paste command lines) but for everyone, we need a double-click file or a checkbox in a graphic window ^^

Tried to get deliverance running on my 1080ti but cryengine says unsupported gpu, needs DX11 compat ... blah blah whatever.

Shrug

EDIT: well managed to get it to load with audio and HUD but 3d is black, I get the following errors. Probably a minor configuration problem.

0048:fixme:nvapi:NvAPI_D3D_GetObjectHandleForResource (0xac0d3c0, 0x2b106d60, 0xadee9e0): stub
0048:err:nvapi:NvAPI_D3D11_SetDepthBoundsTest Failed to get wined3d device handle!

Btw, if you guys missed that.. Telltale DX11 games also work in DXVK
View video on youtube.com

Well Witcher 3 works wonderfully at 4k (above 60fps), some shader stutter but thats fine. Thought settings are not on ultra or anything, just default stuff.

I just can't for the life of my figure out why KCD has a blank screen on loadup but I can hear the music, see and move the icon, and hear the interface beeps as I pan over them, just can't see anything.

Thinking It could be a mod or something I have installed, or a specific configuration I have done in the files.

If you are playing through Steam, try with the Steam Overlay disabled.
