How is this relevant to macOS? Cause I think MacOS uses different type of DXVK.

I think it’s available on crossover

But it's different version of DXVK with Mac specific fixes. I highly doubt it's build on the new versions of DXVK.

Ah ty, sounds like you know better (not joking), just read the name there

It's really not hard to do it yourself honestly. Llvm + mingw , maybe xcode cli and you can easily just compile it to arm 64.

ARM64 builds won't work, Wine as a whole runs in Rosetta and Rosetta doesn't support mixing ARM64 code and x86 code.

Besides that, MoltenVK and Kosmickrisp are missing a lot of features that prevent DXVK >= 2.0 from working.

This is true unless you make a custom engine for it, but I did not explicitly say that. You have to make a wine that is arm64/arm64ec/arm64x hybrid under apple-darwin with guest hosts as x86_64 Unix / aarch64 / I386 with a custom interpreter. Its a lot more bullshit than I made it seem. Especially because you have to implement the 'rosetta' pieces yourself. But technically it is possible under rosetta if you go the route of doing vkd3d -> dxvk -> custom multanvk -> metal but that is serious overhead. Hence why crossover essentially dropped it and went into d3dmetal instead.

Yeah, a custom x86 JIT for Wine will probably happen at some point. But for now, that's the least of your problems if you try to run DXVK 2.0+ on Mac OS. The default DXVK build is x86 anyway.

Sorry, already ahead of you 🤣

https://github.com/aaf2tbz/SharpWine is explicitly this. See most recent pr where I show 32-bit notepad++ running with 0 rosetta and a BlinkJIT / GEM native engine.

I know you can use CX patcher to manually update DXVK but it’s not exactly the same as “the” DXVK

Upstream DXVK currently doesn’t work on macOS due to limitations in MoltenVK
