d9vk VS d912pxy

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'm surprised nobody covered p.2. JUST USE d912pxy. Period. The game is unplayable without it. BTW running it on Linux has the same effect as it translates DirectX calls to Vulkan calls and precompiles shaders. As much as I appreciate and respect ArenaNet will to fix performance introducing Dx11 hardly improved anything. There is still long way to go.

I think the 5900 is holding you back. I have 5800x3d and in dragons end FPS stays over 60 most of the time. I also use dx12 API proxy: https://github.com/megai2/d912pxy

Also idk if it's still relevant but I had a massive fps improvement in GW2 by using a proxy dll dx12 proxy

You could try using the dx12 addon to maybe squeeze out a bit more fps then dx11 gives. Otherwise gw2 is really a lost cause when it comes to trying to get a decent frame rate.

If none of that is enough try out the DX12 addon.

It still looks good. Use d912pxy to turn it into dx 12 to get better performance then ad shade over the top and it looks lovely.
