The DXVK 1.9 release is available, offering an implementation of DXGI (DirectX Graphics Infrastructure) for Direct3D 9, 10, and 11, functioning through call translation to the Vulkan API. To use DXVK, drivers supporting Vulkan API 1.1 are required, such as Mesa RADV 20.2, NVIDIA 415.22, Intel ANV 19.0, and AMDVLK. DXVK can be applied to run 3D applications and games in Linux using Wine, serving as a higher-performance alternative to the built-in Wine implementations of Direct3D 9/10/11 operating over OpenGL.
Key Changes:
- Initial support for YUV texture formats with color subsampling, such as NV12, used for video playback in certain games has been added.
- The ID3D11VideoProcessor API has been implemented, which is used for video output in the games Nier Replicant and Contra: Rogue Corps.
- Support for conservative rasterization has been added for GPUs that support this capability. This change allows the use of the NVIDIA ShadowLibs option in Final Fantasy XV and other games.
- Rendering latency has been reduced, which may solve issues in games limited by vertical synchronization, FPS limiters, or DXGI settings.
- A frame rate limiter component has been added, which can be used for proper game performance in titles not designed for high FPS.
- The transmission of information about Vulkan's software implementations, such as Lavapipe, to applications has been discontinued if a Vulkan-supporting GPU is present in the system, addressing issues that arise when games attempt to use Lavapipe instead of the correct driver. To enable Lavapipe, it is suggested to set the VK_ICD_FILENAMES environment variable.
- Texture and buffer loading in D3D9 has been improved.
- Issues in the games Atelier Mysterious Trilogy Deluxe Pack, Dal Segno, Nights of Azure, Days Gone, Demon Stone, Dragon Quest Builder 2, Final Fantasy XIII, Spec Ops: The Line, GTA IV, Halo 2, Kohan II, Nier Replicant, Second Sight, and TrackMania Forever have been resolved.
