  • Unable to get DXVK
    2 projects | /r/Lutris | 18 Feb 2022
    Your dxvk_versions.json file seems to be massively out of date, the current one references a .tar.xz file at https://github.com/lutris/dxvk/releases/download/v1.9.4L-2/dxvk-1.9.4L-2.tar.xz for example.
    2 projects | /r/Lutris | 18 Feb 2022
  • DXVK 1.9.4 released!

  • hitman 3 with wine/proton?
    5 projects | /r/HiTMAN | 20 Jan 2021
    After further examining the system32 directory, I noticed that there is no d3dx12.dll, so that may very well be the problem. https://github.com/lutris/dxvk/releases/tag/v1.7.2L-5ca255d should actually have the DX12 stuff, but it requires a lower version of lutris (0.5.7.1, but I have 0.5.8.1).

What are some alternatives?

When comparing vkd3d-proton and dxvk you can also consider the following projects:

lutris - Lutris desktop client

dxvk-async

photoshopCClinux - Photoshop CC v19 installer for Gnu/Linux

HeroicGamesLauncher - A games launcher for GOG, Amazon and Epic Games for Linux, Windows and macOS.

EldenRingStutterFix - D3D12 modification that might fix stuttering in Elden Ring

vkd3d - Fork of VKD3D. Development branches for Proton's Direct3D 12 implementation. [Moved to: https://github.com/HansKristian-Work/vkd3d-proton]

dxvk - Vulkan-based implementation of D3D9, D3D10 and D3D11 for Linux / Wine

proton-ge-custom - Compatibility tool for Steam Play based on Wine and additional components

Proton - Compatibility tool for Steam Play based on Wine and additional components

wine

MangoHud - A Vulkan and OpenGL overlay for monitoring FPS, temperatures, CPU/GPU load and more. Discord: https://discordapp.com/invite/Gj5YmBb

protontricks - A wrapper that does winetricks things for Proton enabled games, requires Winetricks.
