DXVK

Resources

GitHub

DXVK is a Vulkan-based translation layer for Direct3D 9/10/11 which allows running 3D applications on Linux using Wine.

Requirements

• Wine 3.10 or newer (5.8 or newer recommended)
• Vulkan
• Vulkan capable GPU
• Driver supported by DXVK (With AMD, you can check which driver is used by running lspci -k. If it says that the driver in use is radeon, your system will not be able to use DXVK.)

Building from source

• dev-util/meson (at least version 0.46)
• dev-util/glslang
• Mingw (at least version 6.0)

Installation

From source

Older versions could be compiled with winegcc, a gcc wrapper from wine. However, upstream discourages the use of winegcc and recommends Mingw. Support for winegcc was completely dropped after version 1.6.1.

app-emulation/dxvk is available from the unofficial repositories “FireBurn” (mingw & winegcc), “ppfeufer-gentoo-overlay” (mingw & winegcc), “tastytea” (mingw) and “thegreatmcpain” (mingw & winegcc). See the wiki article about ebuild repositories for how to use them.

Install Mingw for 64 and 32 bit

It is recommended to create a dedicated crossdev repository.

Note
Make sure that mingw64-runtime does not have the tools useflag enabled when bootstrapping. See bug #644556.

user $for toolchain in cross-x86_64-w64-mingw32 cross-i686-w64-mingw32; do

   crossdev --stable --libc "~8.0.0" --target ${toolchain}
   crossdev --stable --libc "~8.0.0" --lenv 'USE="libraries"' \
       --genv 'EXTRA_ECONF="--enable-threads=posix"' \
       --init-target --target ${toolchain}
   emerge --oneshot ${toolchain}/mingw64-runtime
   emerge --oneshot ${toolchain}/gcc

done

Add --disable-sjlj-exceptions --with-dwarf2 to EXTRA_ECONF for cross-i686-w64-mingw32/gcc (but not for cross-x86_64-w64-mingw32/gcc) for improved performance.

If crossdev generation of the target toolchain should fail, ensure that USE="libraries" is enabled on ${toolchain}/mingw64-runtime by simply prefixing the relevant emerge command with env USE="libraries", mirroring the application of the USE flag to libc via crossdev's lenv argument. Revert edits to /etc/portage/env/mingw-gcc.conf, /etc/portage/package.env/mingw, and /etc/portage/package.use/mingw before retrying, or toolchain generation will fail due to the --enable-threads flag.

Install DXVK

To include 32-bit bindings:

root #echo 'app-emulation/dxvk ABI_X86: 64 32' >> /etc/portage/package.use/dxvk

root #echo 'app-emulation/dxvk' >> /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords/dxvk

root #emerge --ask app-emulation/dxvk

Pre-built release

Pre-built DXVK binaries are available from the GURU repository.

root #echo 'app-emulation/dxvk-bin' >> /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords/dxvk

root #emerge --ask app-emulation/dxvk-bin

Configuration

Lutris

Move/copy all .dll files to ~/.local/share/lutris/runtime/dxvk/x{32,64}.

app-emulation/dxvk:

user $mkdir -p ~/.local/share/lutris/runtime/dxvk/x{32,64}

user $cp /usr/lib/dxvk/*.dll ~/.local/share/lutris/runtime/dxvk/x32

user $cp /usr/lib64/dxvk/*.dll ~/.local/share/lutris/runtime/dxvk/x64

app-emulation/dxvk-bin:

user $mkdir -p ~/.local/share/lutris/runtime/dxvk/x{32,64}

user $cp /usr/lib/dxvk-bin/*.dll ~/.local/share/lutris/runtime/dxvk/x32

user $cp /usr/lib64/dxvk-bin/*.dll ~/.local/share/lutris/runtime/dxvk/x64

Wine

It is recommended to create the ~/.wine-32 or ~/.wine-64 directories for different architectures.

app-emulation/dxvk:

user $WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-64 setup_dxvk.sh install --symlink

user $WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-32 setup_dxvk.sh install --symlink

app-emulation/dxvk-bin:

user $WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-64 setup_dxvk-bin.sh install --symlink

user $WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-32 setup_dxvk-bin.sh install --symlink
