The Latest Winevulkan Patches Make It Usable For Doom, Wolfenstein & DXVK

Didn't Oracle win the case that made APIs copyrightable?

Not in Europe, and that result should be really appealed in US too. Google just didn't go with that.

So it's about LGPL being incompatible with Apache? How about general idea, that APIs should not be copyrightable? In this sense, it doesn't matter what license Vulkan API source has.

And if not, how can that be resolved (and who came up with the idea of using a restrictive license for the API source)?

The code is open however over time the license changed (BSD -> Apache).

Can you elaborate on that please? I thought Vulkan API code is opened. And is there any bug to track about that?

We can't support anything newer for now (Vulkan licensing issues).

Does it still need to specify 1.0.51 and why exactly?

The version there doesn't matter so much, but it matches the version of Vulkan I support. We can't support anything newer for now (Vulkan licensing issues).

I have included winevulkan.json in the wine-vulkan repo now, so no need for text editing.

Result: The Witcher 3 (upstream Wine master with pending patches + dxvk direct image mapping branch).

It is correct that you are seeing a white screen. My latest patches have not been merged yet. If lucky they get merged today else for the time being use wine-vulkan. BTW just a simple text editor is enough to create the json file.

Thank you so much for the hint.
