VKD3D-Proton
Fork of VKD3D. Development branches for Proton's Direct3D 12 implementation.

How come Proton comes bundled with VKD3D-WINE and VKD3D-Proton?

To use which ever one works better for any given game. "PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command" or look into Valve's game compat profiles and "wined3d".

Wanna know how I know you didn't fully read the README? "PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command" is actually the example command used to show us how to configure Proton

In my case works with mesa 25 and wine 9.22

Upsteam vkd3d pretty much doesn't run any games, proton uses it only for the HLSL compiler part, which vkd3d-proton doesn't implement at all.

WineD3D is an OpenGL based implementation of D3D up to 11, so it has nothing to do with D3D12. Don't confuse it with VKD3D.

WineD3D is an OpenGL based implementation of D3D up to 11, so it has nothing to do with D3D12. Don't confuse it with VKD3D.

In the context of Proton use_wined3d is a switch that alternates between native Wine DX9-12 and DXVK/Proton9-12.

                if use_wined3d:
                    dxvkfiles = []
                    vkd3d_protonfiles = []
                    wined3dfiles = ["d3d12", "d3d11", "d3d10", "d3d10core", "d3d10_1", "d3d9"]
                else:
                    dxvkfiles = ["d3d11", "d3d10core", "d3d9"]
                    vkd3d_protonfiles = ["d3d12", "d3d12core"]
                    wined3dfiles = []​

I've wondered how this compares to DXVK with things like glorious eggroll and wine-ge in lutris. I have yet to educate myself on vkd3d. Actually know very little about it, I see people using it though.

I've played the latest Indiana Jones game in Linux, lets see, Indiana Jones And The Great Circle, runs slicker than owl shit. Can even run path tracing. I've yet to run a title that doesn't freeze instantly with frame generation toggled on in LInux though.

It doesn't compare at all because they do different things. DXVK implements D3D8-11 and vkd3d-proton implements D3D12.
