Well, it took AMD 10 months to fix the Battlefield 1 rendering issue (as reported by me on January 6th) wheras it only took the Valve devs some days to fix the exact same issue in RADV. I think that speaks volumes about the tremendous effort of Valve and others for the quality of gaming on Linux.

Interesting that they still care about DXVK / vkd3d performance, because they still haven't implemented any single VK_VALVE extensions which are important for vkd3d-proton.

The only important VAVLE extension, which is VK_VALVE_mutable_descriptor_type, also exists as VK_EXT_mutable_descriptor_type now. But It'll probably take them also at least 10 months to implement that. Also still waiting for VK_EXT_graphics_pipeline_library.
