D9VK, the project based on DXVK to provide Vulkan for running Direct3D 9 games in Wine has an actual release now.
It’s come along very quickly, with quite a number of games now actually running and faster than with the normal Wine so it’s obviously quite impressive. If/when it gets merged with DXVK, this could really help Steam Play too which is another exciting point about it.
