VKD3D 1.13 Improves Direct3D 12 API Support Atop Vulkan

([WINE] 6 Hours Ago VKD3D 1.13)


The Wine project has released VKD3D 1.13 as the newest version of this open-source code for mapping Microsoft's Direct3D 12 API atop the Vulkan API for helping to accelerate Windows games and applications on Linux.

VKD3D remains the upstream Wine project for D3D12 atop Vulkan while Valve's Steam Play (Proton) uses the downstream VKD3D-Proton code. VKD3D 1.13 is the new feature release for this translation library although only with a few notable changes:

- Basic loop unrolling support in the HLSL compiler.

- Effects compiler support for several version 4.0+ state objects.

- Miscellaneous bug fixes.

There are a number of fixes to libvkd3d and libvkd3d-shader, new interfaces, and other smaller additions.

Jon Splatz's Movie Review: "Lord of the Pings"

I've never walked out on a movie before. When I pay $9.50 to see a movie
(plus $16.50 for snacks), I'm going to sit through every single minute no
matter how awful. The resolve to get my money's worth allowed me to watch
Jar Jar Binks without even flinching last year.

But I couldn't make it through "Lord of the Pings". This movie contains a
scene that is so appalling, so despicable, so vile, so terrible, so
crappy, and so gut-wrenching that I simply had to get up, run out of the
theater, and puke in the nearest restroom. It was just that bad.

The whole thing is completely ruined by a scene that takes place only 52
seconds into the flick. Brace yourself: big letters appear on screen that
say "An AOL/Time Warner Production".

...

Because this film is brought to you by the letters A-O-L-T-W, I must give
it an F-minus even though I've only seen 53 seconds of it.
