To enable DXVK in a wineprefix, do the following (with the WINEPREFIX variable properly set):

setup_dxvk install

In order to uninstall DXVK from a wineprefix:

setup_dxvk uninstall

Hi! Thanks for the update!

Please consider my observation. This package should not mandatorily depend on Wine installed in the system. I am using it with Lutris, which is able to provide its own separate Wine runtimes. This dxvk-bin package works just fine when symlinked to the relevant Lutris runtimes directory.

(Lutris is also able to provide versions of dxvk, but I prefer setting it up with this dxvk-bin package since Lutris defaults to non-stable dxvk, and does not automatically update its managed wine prefixes with the latest dxvk.)

Hey @ssorgatem.

• Yes, the versions of DXVK I'm installing is same (via winetricks and the one from GitHub releases, and by extension this AUR package)

• When testing both cases, the wineprefix is generated from scratch. (So I guess the prefixes are as identical as they can get)

• The dxgi thing, how do I check that?

• I think that winetricks verb installs d3d9 too (maybe d3d10 too, I'm not very sure of it.. tried to read the code on GitHub but it's not very clean)

Are you installing the same version of DXVK with winetricks? Is it using wine's or DXVK's dxgi.dll? are you installing D3D10 and D3D9 too with the script?

Using the same options, both wine prefixes should be identical.

If anything you should report this upstream.

For some reason, the winetricks "verb" for dxvk gives better results for me than this setup_dxvk script.

Screenshots (intro screen aka "Click to continue" screen): https://imgur.com/a/gRM0GPR

I used winetricks to install dxvk in the first screenshot, and used the setup_dxvk script to install dxvk for the second screenshot. The winetricks version works flawlessly, but the one with the setup_dxvk script is messed up with many textures not loading at all (and hence making the game unplayable)

It works with wine-staging, so I went with that.

Huh, weird. What is your wine version? Maybe there's been some change in how that package manages it...

I'm unsure why, but despite having wine-staging-git in the dependencies it will not update with yay or makepkg because it claims wine conflicts. I do not have the wine package installed. Only wine-staging-git. I'm not sure what the fix is.

Yes, but do look at the other options of the setup_dxvk script too, depending on what excatly do you want ;)

@ssorgatem Thank you very much!

Just to be sure, If I want to install it in custom wine prefix with symlink WINEPREFIX=~/wine/affinity setup_dxvk install --symlink Is the right way?

@darkside

It depends.

When you install dxvk through winetricks, winetricks copies the specified version of the DXVK dlls to that wineprefix. It won't get updated unless you manually update it.

With this package, you can install DXVK in a wineprefix with the --symlink option, which rather than copying the DXVK dlls into the wineprefix, symlinks them. So each time this package is updated, the DXVK dlls in each linked wineprefix are automatically updated too.
