Description flibitijibibo 2025-04-28 15:44:29 UTC

A new stable release has been pushed, with a bugfix update:

https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/releases/tag/v2.6.1

Notable for distributions in particular is that there are some additional fixes to enable SDL3 support:

- https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/pull/4835
- https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/pull/4838

The current spec file includes the SDL3 dependencies but there were some issues with detecting the development files; as a result the current Fedora package does not support SDL3 programs. The above changes fix these problems and both have been upstreamed for the next release, but it'd be great to have this fixed before 2.6.2 (or later)!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install dxvk-native
2. Run an SDL3+D3D11 title (the SDL3 branches of TMNT, SOR4, FEZ, Rogue Legacy 1, etc)
3. Log will show failure to create WSI, since SDL3 support is not compiled into the Fedora binary
Actual Results:
D3D11 context will not be created, usually resulting in a startup crash

Expected Results:
D3D11 context should be created on supported GPUs, will continue to fail when used with unsupported GPUs

Additional Information:
Normally SDL3 runs will use SDL_GPU which uses Vulkan directly, but dxvk-native may show different performance characteristics due to the use of different Vulkan extensions, which is helpful for researching enhancements both for SDL and dxvk.
