vkd3d-proton reviews and mentions

• Wine 10.0 RC1 – Run Windows Applications on Linux, BSD, Solaris and macOS
  4 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 7 Dec 2024

  Proton (Steam Play 2.0) is a set of game-focused patches on top of Wine, plus several other components that improve game compatibility and/or performance. The most notable of these are DXVK, which implements Direct3D 8/9/10/11 APIs in terms of Vulkan, and vkd3d-proton, which does the same for Direct3D 12.

  In many cases, it's possible to get a game running with regular Wine (or Wine-staging) if you install into the Wine prefix not only the game, but also one or more of: DXVK, vkd3d-proton, whatever Microsoft Visual C++ runtime the game wants, and Mono. If a game also needs custom Wine patches, you'll have better luck with a game launcher like Lutris, which automates installing patched Wine versions, or running a Wine build like the one that GloriousEggroll maintained until recently.

  Be sure that your graphics card's Vulkan drivers are installed, and if it's a 32-bit game, all the appropriate 32-bit libraries as well.

• AMD x PCMR - Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora Worldwide Giveaway - Win a Limited Edition AMD Avatar Kit that includes the Limited-Edition AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX GPU and Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU (Only 500 of each ever made!). There are 23 kits up for grabs!

  Exchange my 750W PSU for a stronger one as 7900 XTX is a hungry beast, then some upscaling/AI work on (Arch BTW) Linux, testing Cyberpunk 2077 with RT once this fix is in Proton-GE. For the CPU I would obviously have to get a new mobo, and new RAM and then I would test how fast the Dwarf Fortress world generator is/slow, Cities Skylines I/II, RimWorld, Paradox Interactive games, and so on.

• Steam on hyprland is running on the onboard graphics instead of discrete GPU

  For DX12 games you must set the env var VKD3D_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME. But currently it might not work for some games.

• Alan Wake 2 Is an Unexpected Visual Marvel Even on Older GPUs

  If anyone is playing on Linux with an AMD GPU and has texture issues (missing FBI text on the characters' jackets is the give away), it can be fixed with applying a patch to mesa-git: https://github.com/HansKristian-Work/vkd3d-proton/issues/175.... It should hopefully be implemented soon. I think it's only limited to RDNA2.

  Vkd3d (the dx12->vulkan translation layer) developer has put up a change log for a new version that is about to be (released here) and also a pull request with more information about what he discovered about all the awful things that starfield is doing to GPU drivers (here).
