Wine-Builds VS d9vk

Create a Wine prefix for COD WAW Plutonium. It can be a 32 bit or 64 bit Wine prefix. Plutonium works with Wine 8.0.1. You can download this version of wine and many other wine version from Kron4ek.

Download wine from here (download for x86).

Also, if you interested, would love feedback on OW2 running with wine-8.1-staging-tkg on Lutris (link) - this might also be the most recent caffe release on Bottles as I think they also use the tkg patches.

Here is the link. Extract the file to ~/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine if you are using native lutris install. I prefer the tkg. Also update your dxvk and vkd3d versions - did you disable hardware acceleration in bnet? I manually install latest dxvk and vkd3d versions from their git pages - extract to ~/.local/share/lutris/runtime/dxvk or vkd3d. In Lutris, they will not appear in the dropdown list, so you type in the folder name that was created when you extracted the files (eg dxvk-2.1)

Download the wine-7.22-staging-tkg-amd64.tar.xz file from this link and extract it in the runners/wine folder in Lutris (exact path to this location will vary depending on whether you are using the flatpak version or native to your distro). Also if you are using Lutris, make sure you have the 0.5.12 version installed.

It will be easier to understand if you show me an example of terminal commands under GNU/Linux. I tried to follow his instructions but I don't know one method is good

If you know the directory structure and where the versions of Proton live that Heroic uses, you can also go to the dxvk github page and select the 1.10.3 tar ball, download it and extract it, then manually move the appropriate files to their desired location in the Proton file structure. As with all things like this, .old is your friend if you stuff something up. And yes this does work, I compile my own vkd3d versions and use this approach as a lazy way to test them in Steam.

You can try dkvx Github dkvx , which is a mod that supposedly translates the DX11 stuff to Vulkan but I am not an IT guy so no clue how that works but as I said somewhere else on this thread it helped some people.

Worry not, if you want to play Windows games on Linux, you will use Wine, and Wine has codepaths for very old DirectX versions, it translates it to OpenGL. Alternatively if you really insist there is D8VK although it shouldn't be necessary. For DirectX games that use DirectX 9, 10, or 11 you are covered with DXVK which translates those APIs into Vulkan. And for DirectX 12 games you're back to Wine with WineD3D which will do translation to Vulkan. Technically WineD3D supports every DirectX version, but DirectX 9, 10, and 11 codepaths are half finished, buggy, and less performant, that's why DXVK exists.

You can give DXVK a try.

If you are going to download DXVK, you can download from GitHub.

No, it does not. Check the readme - https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk DX12 goes through this - https://github.com/HansKristian-Work/vkd3d-proton
