DXVK 2.0 (A Vulkan-based translation layer for DX 9/10/11)

https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/actions/workflows/artifacts.yml?query=branch:master

DXVK now creates artifact builds with the latest commits, would lose the async shader patch though but there's been some good additions since 1.8.0 came out so the next full release is looking really good.

 

Speaking of which, 1.8.1 is out.
https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/releases/tag/v1.8.1

Bug fixes and Improvements

• Fixed a regression that would cause a number of D3D9 games to crash when changing the resolution or during startup.
• Improved performance in many D3D9 games when using MSAA on RADV.
• Improved presentation logic for MSAA swap chains, which are common in older D3D9 games.
• Mafia II: Work around shadows being broken when the game thinks it's running on an AMD GPU.
• Warhammer Online: Work around the game trying to use unsupported image formats. (#1296)

Github actions
Support for automated builds of the current master branch as well as pull requests has been added. Builds can be found here.

 

Async build

https://github.com/Sporif/dxvk-async/releases/tag/1.8.1

 

Thank you so much for the hard work. Can't wait to test it out!

 

Well, you should thanks to Sporif, not me I just linked that

 

Tought you were the man behind this great tweak, still thanks for link you provide, i know dxvk from this thread. I can't thank enough Sportif for this. Now the test result, it works better with my dx9 game than previous ver. Hope the dev is keeping up the great work!

Looks like NVIDIA 465.xx fixes a bug but the newest commits now also disable this workaround when this version is detected and a config parameter was also added for controlling it.

 

Theres a regression in 461.72 where volumetric / fog tables had visible artifacts, might be fixed in 461.81

 

Guys i need your support for the async build. The dxvk works flawless until last night, the display suddenly freeze and i cant to anything but force close the game. Looked at the .log file and it's final line said ;

err: DxvkSubmissionQueue: Command submission failed: VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_DEVICE_MEMORY

Google gave me some good article or forum posts but i have no idea what they were talking about. Can you guys help?

 

I got it finally working in Fallout New Vegas and was just wondering how do I make it so it does not show all the details up the left side of the screen?

*edit*

I figured it out, I'm so stupid....

 

Gonna try this too, finally.
Thank god I had set this thread to followed or might have forgotten about DXVK completely.

I understand this is works-if-it-works-thing but are there any widely known games or even game engines DXVK just won't work with atm?

First going too see if I can mitigate some of the fps drops in Days Gone unless UE4 is a definite no-no, suppose it isn't.

 

Okay, downloaded non-async, "vanilla" release ver. 1.8.1, put x64 d3d11.dll and dxgi.dll into folder with game executable (Days Gone).

RTSS overlay verified it was working, API shown as Vulkan.

However ran into a strange issue where during loading the game seems to lose all resources, CPU usage drops to 0 % and GPU is basically sleeping so the game is very sluggish.
Got a whopping 2 frames per second in the main menu.

Any idea how this could be fixed?

Tried grabbing a screenshot but even that looks really weird, doesn't match at all what was on screen and as if there are 2 game windows cascaded on top of each other:

Spoiler

yet as seen in settings, game was in fullscreen mode.

 

Try async version?

 

You need latest git-master build for Days Gone: https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/issues/2065

 

Yeah seems to be a known issue, have no idea how to compile the .dlls from the branch myself though, not familiar with this type of thing.
Guess I'll wait for next release.

 

@AsiJu latest compiled commit(noAsync version) can be downloaded from here

Thanks, that's handy, gonna try!

 

I've compiled latest git-master build with async patch applied:
https://www.mediafire.com/file/yp35...de76aad35a2-2021-05-23-22-23-56.async.7z/file
Not an official build, don't report bugs with it.

Not sure if it's worth it for Days Gone, seems it comes with a ship ton of shaders and it might never stop stuttering, despite of async compile.
Edit: Also clear driver shader cache if you've used non-async DXVK build for a game before (well, thanks to a bug, current AMD Vulkan drivers will do that automatically for you after a system reboot).

 

It's funny and sad that most people using this thing are ATI users. AMD should really investigate their problems.

 

@aufkrawall2
Will give it a spin, thanks.

Should I also manually grab the latest Vulkan runtimes?
