Wine Developers Are Exploring A Vulkan Backend To WineD3D

[Weasel]

Portability of what. What is exactly the point of running a windows-to-unix-ish translation layer on Windows?

Do they even offer that at all? I don't see any "Wine For Windows" downloads, and Codeweavers (the parent company) isn't making a proprietary product either. https://www.codeweavers.com/

Well you can use your imagination a bit. Off the top of my head:

• People used wined3d to run DX11 renderers on Windows XP (games that supported WinXP obviously, just not the DX11 renderer). I know performance was awful but if it's about graphics...
• You can test wined3d on Windows and see whether it's a Wine problem/bug at all. If it runs fine on Windows' OpenGL... it means it's definitely unlikely to be a problem with Wine itself.

So it actually runs on windows. They are even crazier than I thought.

Not everyone is interested in working on MF.

I hope that someone is interested enough to fix it. There is 2 manual fixes for MF, and they are not easy, and don't work well all the time.
