D9VK for translating D3D9 to Vulkan in Wine has a big new release out

Quoting: khalismurHow can you use D9VK with Proton? I'd like to compare proton Skyrim vs D9VK Skyrim

After some testing, I see Skyrim is somewhat broken with D9VK. Travelling by carriage does not work among other problems. Performance is better though...

EDIT: Apparently the problem was something else, my bad.

I literally touch nothing that could do this. I had a friend check this out and it works for him. Definitely not my issue, has to be a game bug or a mod you have installed.

Quoting: trawzAwesome! I was playing A Hat in Time through Proton, but the performance was quite bad. Switched to d9vk and it was incredibly fast, but I experienced some crashes. Seems those are fixed now!

hmm, strange, I have been playing HatInTime, and decided to try d9vk because there always has been some problems with textures etc.. well, level doesn't even load for me. I can hear level audio kicking in and then crash on some memory allocation error.. something about video memory.
removed d9vk and works again like before...

Specs? Logs? Anything would be helpful here :)

Sorry, apparently the carriage problem is not related to D9VK, you are right.

Thanks a lot for your work into this!

Quoting: x_wingThat thing worked flawlessly on a Intel HD 520 (i3 6006u)... no clue how that is possible.

Magic. Obviously.

Indeed. Many kudos for you and Intel anv devs!

I wonder when this project merge with Proton, if there will be an option to activate/deactivate between Vulkan or Opengl (for hardware not compatible with Vulkan) or if Proton will automatically detect if gpu is compatible and pick one automatically.

download and extract the latest D9VK archive and extract it.
then perform the following commands in a terminal:

cd d9vk-0.12/

WINEPREFIX=$PATH_TO_STEAM_LIBRAY_LOCATION/steamapps/compatdata/$STEAM_APP_ID/pfx/ ./setup_dxvk.sh install

this will install d9vk into that game's specific proton prefix...running setup_dxvk.sh uninstall will revert the changes....

note that some games under proton with d9vk may exhibit behaviour that may or may not be experienced using vanilla wine/wine-staging....

Cheers for the information man!

I'd read the github page but was unsure if I could simply follow the instructions there using the wineprefix created by Proton. Thanks a lot!

aye, no worries, man...glad it was helpful to you :)

i'm pretty sure it tries DXVK by default....and fails to launch if no vulkan...you'll most likely have to set the PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command% option on the game's properties.....i've had to do this for Bejeweled 3 ever since the second version of Proton was realeased....very first release of Proton...Bejeweled 3 launched without issue.

Sorry for noob question, but how do I use it in latest Wine or Wine Staging (4.9-1)?

Someone here mentioned a DXVK version dropdown. Where? In wine.cfg I don't see it.
