vkd3d-proton version 2.1 has been released

VKD3D-Proton is a fork of VKD3D, which aims to implement the full Direct3D 12 API on top of Vulkan. The project serves as the development effort for Direct3D 12 support in Proton.

 

This release fixes various bugs (mostly workarounds) and improves GPU-bound performance.

New games added to "expected to work" list:

• The Division (was working already in 2.0, but missing from list)
• AC: Valhalla (*)

(*): Game requires full D3D12 sparse texture support to work.
Currently only works on NVIDIA drivers.
RADV status remains unknown until support for this feature lands in Mesa.

New games added to "kinda works, but expect a lot of jank" list:

• Cyberpunk 2077 (**)

(**): Currently only runs correctly on AMD hardware with RADV and VK_VALVE_mutable_descriptor_type.
As of game version 1.03, this requires the latest Mesa Git build.
The game has some fatal bugs where it relies on undefined behavior with descriptor management
which this extension works around by accident.
The game will start and run on NVIDIA, but just like what happens without the extension on AMD,
the GPU will randomly hang, making the game effectively unplayable.
A game update to fix this bug would likely make the game playable on NVIDIA as well.
Game version 1.04 changed some behavior, and support for this game will likely fluctuate over time as future patches come in.

Bug fixes and workarounds:

• Fix various implementation bugs which caused AC: Valhalla to not work.
• Work around game bug in Death Stranding where accessing map could cause corrupt rendering.
  (Several games appear to have the same kind of application bug.)
• Fix corrupt textures in Horizon Zero Dawn benchmark.
• Fix SM 6.0 wave-op detection for Horizon Zero Dawn and DIRT 5.
• Work around GPU hangs in certain situations where games do not use D3D12 correctly,
  but native D3D12 drivers just render wrong results rather than hang the system.
• Fix invalid SPIR-V generated by FP64 code.
• Fix crash with minimized windows in certain cases.

Performance:

• ~15% GPU-bound uplift in Ghostrunner. Might help UE4 titles in general.
• Slightly improve GPU bound performance when fully GPU bound on both AMD and NVIDIA.
• Slightly improve GPU bound performance on RADV in various titles.
• Reduce multi-threaded CPU overhead for certain D3D12 API usage patterns.
• Add support for VK_VALVE_mutable_descriptor_type which
  improves CPU overhead, memory bloat, and avoids potential memory management thrashing on RADV.
  Also avoids GPU hangs in certain situations where games misuse the D3D12 API.

Misc:

• Implement DXGI_PRESENT_TEST.
• Fix log spam when DXGI_PRESENT_ALLOW_TEARING is used.

The client can connect with existing services like Humble Bundle, GOG and Steam to make your game libraries easily available. Game downloads and installations are automated and can be modified through user made scripts.

Changelog :

• 3rd party services are now available from the main window
• The "Import games" window has been removed. The concept of
  importing games from other services into Lutris has been removed.
  Syncing games from other services on start has been removed.
• Integration with the lutris website such as login and showing your
  library has been delegated to the 'lutris' service in the sidebar.
• The lutris service gives the option of searching your library or the whole
  lutris.net library.
• Games from 3rd party services no longer depend on an install script to be
  present on the website. Lutris will automatically install games with an
  auto-generated script. Scripts from the website take precedence if available.
• Steam games are directly loaded from the Steam API and it is no longer needed
  to sync your Steam library on the lutris website to see all your Steam games.
• Game banners and icons are downloaded from the services themselves. This
  allows for customized media size in the UI based on what's available from the
  service.
• Added option to hide the text under the icons
• The installer game cache configuration has been moved to the installer
  window.
• Installers now offer the choice between downloaded files, custom user
  provided files or cached files (when available).
• Bonus content for GOG games such as manuals or soundtracks can now be
  downloaded as part of the install process. Selected content are downloaded
  in a 'extras' folder in the game folder. Those files will likely be in
  compressed format.
• The right side bar has been moved to the bottom of the window to optimize
  space and to declutter the overall design. Game actions are now shown in a
  popover menu displayed next to the play button. Runner actions, if available
  (for example, wine), will show up in a popover menu next to the runner icon.
• Running games have been moved from the right side bar to a row on the left
  side bar.
• Added favorites section and allow to add/remove games from favorites
• When removing a game, Lutris now displays the size of the folder to be
  deleted.
• Game logs are no longer erased when switching to another game in the
  window.
• Game logs can be saved to a file
• Lutris runners can now be written in JSON instead of Python code. This
  handles only simple cases but it's enough to handle a vast number of
  emulators or game engines. Some existing runners have been migrated to JSON
  such as dgen, ppsspp, citra, ags, virtualjaguar... as well as new ones like
  melonds, tic80, pcem... Check out the share/lutris/json folder for those
  runners. If you plan to submit new JSON based runner be sure to provide a valid
  'download_url' otherwise the lutris client won't have a runner to download.
• Lutris will not delete any game folder that is used by another game or any
  folder that is in some predefined locations. Note that protection of folders
  such as 'Documents' or 'Downloads' only works on English locales for the moment.
• Added a Mangohud option with special modes for OpenGL and 32bit games.
• Added a wine menu entry to launch a bash shell in the game's environment
  with WINEPREFIX set and the correct Wine build aliased to wine.
• Added a command line option to generate a bash script that will run a
  lutris game without the client. ex: lutris quake --output-script quake.sh.
  This will create a 'quake.sh' script to launch the game.
• Removed all platform and runner icons from the code base to eliminate any
  issue regarding their licenses (This is done to help get the lutris
  package into debian).
• DOSBox and PCSX2 display an error if needed libraries are missing.
• The old versions of gamemode are no longer supported. Make sure you have
  the one that ships with a gamemoderun executable.
• The runtime now supports downloading individual files. New icons can be
  submitted by sending a PR to github.com/lutris/lutris-runtime.
• Refactor of several core components. New python packages
  lutris.database and lutris.gui.installer

How Proton helped improve Wine 4.2

On Tuesday (March 26, 2019), Valve released Proton 4.2, a new update to their Steam Play compatibility layer based on Wine 4.2. The previous major version of Proton was based on Wine 3.16.

As with CodeWeavers's own projects, the strong preference for work going into Proton is to also get the changes into upstream Wine. There are many benefits to this. First, all Wine users will benefit from these fixes, whether they are end users of Wine itself, CrossOver users, or users of any other Wine fork. There are also benefits for the maintainers of Proton. For example, upstreaming patches helps prevent regressions, thanks to Wine's extensive test suite; it lowers the maintenance burden, as there are fewer changes to move between Wine versions; it ensures code quality, since patches to Wine are reviewed by the Wine community; and it widens the pool of users to test, since Wine is used in many, many places other than Proton.

Proton 3.16-8 has 380 commits on top of Wine 3.16. After rebasing onto Wine 4.2, there are 214 commits. That means that 166 patches from the 3.16 branch have either been upstreamed, or are otherwise no longer needed going forward. In addition, a lot of work we have done for Wine 4.2 never got pulled back into Proton 3.16.

Let's take a look at how upstream Wine has improved thanks to Valve's sponsored work on Wine. Below is a list of changes to upstream Wine that were made in order to improve games running in Proton.
