Wine 5.15 and DXVK 1.7.1 release

Took place experimental release of the open implementation of WinAPI - Wine 5.15. Since the release of the version 5.14 27 bug reports were closed and 273 changes were made.

The most important changes:

  • Added initial implementation of sound libraries XACT Engine (Cross-platform Audio Creation Tool, xactengine3_*.dll) including APIs
    IXACT3Engine, IXACT3SoundBank, IXACT3Cue, IXACT3WaveBank and IXACT3Wave;

  • The formation of a mathematical library in MSVCRT, implemented on the basis of Musl, has begun;
  • Continued work on restructuring console support;
  • Optimized the performance of the Direct Input API;
  • Fixed exception handling issues on x86-64 platform;
  • Closed bug reports related to the operation of games and applications:
    splayer, Bully Scholarship Edition, DSA: Drakensang, Racedriver GRID,
    Pac-Man Museum, Captain Morgane, Gothic 1.0, Worms World Party Remastered, Call of Duty WWII, BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger, Kea Colorinbook, Grim Dawn, SAP GUI, FrostyModManager 1.0.5.9, Gigabyte "EasyTune", Red Dead Redemption 2.

Additionally, it can be noted issue layers DXVK 1.7.1, which provides a DXGI (DirectX Graphics Infrastructure), Direct3D 9, 10, and 11 implementation that works through call translation to the Vulkan API. To use DXVK required support for drivers Vulkan API 1.1, such as Mesa RADV 19.2, NVIDIA 415.22, Intel ANV 19.0 and AMDVLK.
DXVK can be used to run 3D applications and games on Linux using Wine, serving as a higher performance alternative to Wine's built-in Direct3D 9/10/11 implementations running on top of OpenGL.

The new version provides the use of the VK_EXT_4444_formats and VK_EXT_extended_dynamic_state extensions for supported drivers in order to eliminate potential problems with sample border colors on Intel hardware and correctly access vertex buffers. Minor performance optimizations have been made. D3D9 implements support for NV12 format and missing shader instruction (fixed problems with GeForce Now application and rendering of shaders in some games).
Fixed launch issues with Anarchy Online, Metro Exodus, Observation, Resident Evil 7, Serious Sam 2, SpellForce 2, Timeshift, TrackMania, Darksiders: Warmastered Edition, Monster Hunter World, Borderlands 3, Halo, Halo CE, Mafia III: Definitive Edition and Terminator: Resistance.
