DXUP is a Direct3D 10 to Direct3D 11 translation layer. In turn, this can allow Direct3D 10 games to then be accelerated by Vulkan using DXVK. We were tipped off about this new "DXUP" effort today by a Phoronix reader. Indie game developer Joshua Ashton is currently spearheading work on this latest D3D translation layer with Windows and Linux support.
While the library is still in the very early stages of development, it does appear to be far enough along that the "Just Cause 2" (JC2) game (a D3D10 title) does appear to be working.
DXUP is available via GitHub.
