Hot on the heels of the latest release of the Vulkan API, DXVK 0.90 is now out with Stream Output support

OK, Wine needs patching to support latest Vulkan, since those changes didn't make to Wine master yet. You can get them here for now:

Wine patch (closer to upstream): https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/files/2475485/winevulkan-transform-feedback.patch.txt

Result (rotfiends are working in TW3):

"Nvidia Hairworks in The Witcher 3 and Final Fantasy XV,"
so, hair works is finally working?

In Witcher 3 it surely works, looks rather nice I must say as well, except it killed my fps by 10-15 :p

I just spent over an hour in Vikings, Stream Output works like a charm :)

whats your rig?

That min FPS number and most stuttering can be avoided with pba patch. I'm surprised that it's now part of upstream wine already.

PBA shouldn't be relevant for it, it's for wined3d.

Yeah! Now i only have to wait till this get implemented in Proton, and than i can finally play a whole bunch of vr-games under linux. like gorn, holopoint, budget cuts.... dreams really come true!

It already is implemented in Proton (just based on a DXVK build that is three days old).

DXVK is really impressive. What are the next milestones? I'd really like to see compatibility with vkd3d and implementations of the other D3D versions in wine by using a common dxgi.dll

I'm already working on hacking vkd3d support into dxvk somehow. It's not an ideal solution, but it should work since vkd3d doesn't interact with DXGI all that much.

A "common" dxgi.dll to host all of vkd3d, dxvk, and wined3d is just impossible to achieve. DXGI is not designed to allow that, and there are significant drawbacks: vkd3d doesn't even implement proper device selection, and with the current state of Wine's DXGI, it just can't.

DXVK can be refactored to kind of work with wine's dxgi provided that wine implements a DXVK-compatible swap chain, but we'd lose a number of things (device selection like vkd3d, some game compatibility hacks which cannot be fixed otherwise, probably the HUD, and all that stuff).

At the same time, DXVK can't ever support wined3d because d3d11 and d3d10 are tightly coupled to their respective DXGI implementation.

But Nvidia Hairworks doesn't work with this combination for me. Am I doing something wrong? Or is this feature not implemented right now?

Are you using patched Wine? Wine didn't catch up yet.

What about moving the interesting bits and pieces from vkd3d directly into DXVK, thus adding DX12 support to DXVK? I mean you have to to something with your time considering DX11 support is now mostly complete in DXVK.. :)

Wouldn't that be unnecessary duplication? It's better to make both projects work together if possible, than to duplicate them.

Awesome news. I'm confident that Street Fighter V will work soon on Proton. Things are evolving crazy fast.

Are the needed Mesa patches marked for backporting?

Thank you for the reply. I didn't use patched Wine. But the patch doesn't look like something that I can do myself so I'll be waiting for the next Wine version.

If you wish, I uploaded a pre-patched Wine Source at this link: https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/issues/695#issuecomment-429553614

There's also pre-built binary for Debian, it contains only vanilla Wine + Stream Output patch.

There's also the Lutris source if you want which comes with E-Sync/PBA/Staging and Stream Output all in one if you wish: https://github.com/lutris/wine/tree/esync-staging-pba

Hope it helps in some way :)

After updating mesa with the patches Intel vulkan still only detects as 1.1.82
R.I.P dreams -_-
HD 4000
Gen 7 still doesn't show ahh well!

For those using radv from mesa-git, VK_EXT_transform_feedback looks to have just been added.

Mesa is gradually moving to Gitlab, so here it's in the new repo:

Bugzilla hasn't been moved yet.
