The release of project D7VK 0.3 has been published, which develops the implementation of the Direct3D 7 graphics API proposed by Microsoft in 1999. The implementation works through translating calls to the Vulkan API and allows retro games tied to the Direct3D 7 API to run on Linux via Wine. The project code is written in C++ and is distributed under the Zlib license. The development is based on the d3d9 backend code from the DXVK project. <\/p>\n
The developer considered releasing version 1.0 instead of 0.3, but later decided that there are still some issues to resolve before it is fully ready. The note also mentions that the developer will not pursue the inclusion of D7VK in DXVK, as was the case with implementations of Direct3D 8 and Direct3D 9 over Vulkan. It has been confirmed that D7VK works with games including Sacrifice, Disciples 2, Emperor: Battle for Dune, Vampire: The Masquerade \u2014 Redemption, Screamer 4\u00d74, 1NSANE, Hitman: Codename 47, Rune, X-COM: Enforcer and several others. \n Source: opennet.ru<\/a> <\/p>","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
