d9vk VS WidescreenFixesPack

Use https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk

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

I've been using ThirteenAG's great collection of widescreen fixes for games on my Windows PC and my Deck, but I've found the results a bit mixed on the Steam Deck side of things and was wondering if anyone has any advice.

Steam Deck set up: Setting up the games on Steam Deck is simple. 1. Enter Desktop Mode 2. Move the extracted files folder somewhere on your Steam Deck (use external drive, ftp etc) 3. Find the game .exe, right click it (left trigger) and click "Add game to Steam". If you don't know which is the executable or you can't find it, go to your uncompressed files, open the start..sh with a text editor and look at the bottom of the script t find where and which files is executed. 4. Switch to Gaming Mode, find the added game and try to run it. - If the game does not run, try changing the compatibility (game properties) to GE or an other proton version (Get more versions with ProtonUp-QT) - Older games may contain a "scripts" folder and a dinput8.dll file. These files are patching the game with setting changes (screen resolution, buttons etc). If your game has these, modify the .ini file inside the scripts folder with a text editor (if available, change resolution x and y to 1280 and 800, and change to xbox controller). You also need to add the following launch option in the game properties in steam: WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n,b" %command% You can check for scripts at https://thirteenag.github.io/wfp, just make sure you don't have multiple *.asi files in the scripts folder. I highly recommend this for older games which run in the wrong resolution or you get keyboard controls.
