Any info about a legacy version for all GPUs with Vulkan 1.2 or lower (Kepler for instance)?

Can anyone explain what the DVXK Native inclusion means? How might that affect existing and future games?

If I understand it correctly, it provides Direct3D header files you can compile your game against. So if your game only has D3D as a Windows only dependency and the rest is plattform independent, you can recompile your game to Linux with DXVK-Native.

So existing games won't be affected. It makes porting games to Linux easier.

Examples of games using DXVK Native for Linux ports are Portal 2, L4D2 and CS:GO (with `-vulkan` launch options).
