Typo unless they really got the name wrong:

VK_PIPELINE_CREATE_DISABLE_OPTMIZATION_BIT

Whoops, actually typo from DXVK, and I had copy and pasted from there rather than typing it all out. Thanks.

Is DXVK as easy as compiling the d3d11.dll and placing it in the program's folder, then setting d3d11.dll to native in winecfg?

It's even easier. Download the pre-compiled version on Github and execute the shell script, which will put the d3d11 and dxgi files into your wine prefix.

DXVK requires d3d11 and dxgi yes, you can install it per game the method you suggest or use the install script to link it for the entire wine prefix.

e.g.

WINEPREFIX=~/.wine bash setup_dxvk64

or

WINEPREFIX=~/.wine bash setup_dxvk32

Ooops just realised, those script names might be for the Arch AUR version only.. The instructions on the DXVK git page are slightly different. Go read that if building on a diff distro =).

I install DXVK for my games by putting the 2 dll's where the game's exe is and set 'dxgi' / 'd3d11' overrides as native and done.

Why this isn't upstreamed in wine yet? 😠

Wine so far didn't start accepting C++ contributions. But I think they should consider some official plugins allowing other languages besides C.

There are some exe file specific fixes also, such as for Fallout4.exe which had a issue causing savegame loading to freeze for certain areas, its not ideal but as always some games are not perfect and have nasty bugs themselves so not much choice but to implement workarounds.

{ "Dishonored2.exe", D3D11OptionSet(D3D11Option::AllowMapFlagNoWait) },
{ "Fallout4.exe", D3D11OptionSet(D3D11Option:isableGetDataFlagDoNotFlush) }

Also the guy isn't a idiot for using C++, not his fault WINE team is ULTRA anal, seriously they are, there are literally tens of thousands of fixes out there they don't accept for some reason or another even though it doesn't hurt wines function and actually makes it better.

For example the wine taskbar renders ABOVE games when in virtual-window mode (needed sometimes), you gotta get a outside patch to be able to disable it via registry.

Photoshop brushes has been broken for a while, there's a patch to fix it but for some reason or another it won't get included.

Correction: Sorry it got merged just recently, after 6 years.
