With Wine 9.10 they've upgraded their in-tree copy of VKD3D Direct3D 12 over Vulkan to using the newly-released VKD3D 1.12. VKD3D 1.12 brings some nice improvements for D3D12-on-Vulkan although the VKD3D-Proton downstream maintained by CodeWeavers / Valve for Steam Play is what tends to be most interesting for gamers wanting to run Windows games on Linux.
