Philip Rebohle has announced a new version of DXVK, a Vulkan-based translation layer for Direct3D which allows running 3D applications on Linux using Wine.
D3D10 changes
The D3D10 helper libraries d3d10.dll and d3d10_1.dll are no longer installed by default, as only d3d10core.dll and d3d11.dll are needed for DXVK to support D3D10 (on Windows, dxgi.dll must also be used). This opens up the option to use Wine's implementation of the D3D10 effects framework, which is needed by some games.
Note: This works best on Wine 5.3 or newer. The existing DXVK implementation can still be used, refer to the README for details.
