Directx 12 update

[Jaguarek62]

I edited this to slowly update this list with working games.

My tested games:

Call of Duty Modern Warfare - Has rendering issues (as of vk3d version 2.1, the game renders half properly, but crashes on startup)

Cyberpunk 2077 - Devs says that the game should work properly only on amd hardware, but in my case rtx 2060 runs the game just ok. Every 2 hours the game freezes (aprox.)

Devs game list:

AC: Valhalla

The Division

Control

Death Stranding

Devil May Cry 5

Ghostrunner

Horizon Zero Dawn

Metro Exodus

Monster Hunter World

Resident Evil 2 / 3

Do you think that it will be playable at some point?

I definitely hope so. It was not able to even launch and now it does. I just have to find someone who is using Amd gpu and maybe volunteer who is using Windows 8.0 to test few things.

You should try making an issue on GitHub

Well I haven't figured out how to do that tbh.

I'm happy to report, that Cyberpunk 2077 is playable on Windows 8.1 with this https://github.com/HansKristian-Work/vkd3d-proton/releases

though I played for 2 hours and I experienced gpu hang once.

Hows the performance?

About the same as with windows 7 and its d3d12on7. getting 60 - 70 fps with rtx 2060 on medium. On windows 10 You can expect high at 60-80 fps. But this is just the beginning, I'm glad it started and runs reasonably ok. I don't have to use crapdows 10

Does Ray Tracing work?

No, though the game has no checks for Windows 8.1 so it does let me select ray tracing. Whenever I select that, the game locks up. I need to sign off to gain control of my pc again then. I don't think rtx will be possible on non windows 10 computers, but I could be wrong.

Could this be used to run even production applications like Photoshop and SolidWorks?

Why photoshop? I have 2020 photoshop on Windows 8.1 and it runs natively ok. Solidworks I have no idea, but if it uses direct x12, you should definitely take the same brute force way like I did, just try it, copy random files and it might work

*shrugs* Photoshop says Windows 10 is required in the system requirements. I haven't actually tried it though.

Well that's true, but there are plenty of workarounds for Windows 8.1. Windows 7 does not work curiously enough. No missing api error, but photoshop will not open.

My dream has come true! Thanks for the info
