Is there a plan in anytime for add shared resources? Some games/modifications and programs requires it like for example: FiveM, RageMP, alt:V

So is there anytime planned to add it? Anything we can do for help?

Stay safe!

No, because it's not supported by wine and there's no reason to use DXVK on Windows if you require unofficial GTA mods.
Edit: Actually I'm not sure if it would even be possible to support this on Windows in the first place, since we'd need a lot of metadata alongside the resource handles.

Not to mention that this would require several hundred hours of work since it's a huge API with lots of undocumented magic going on in the background.

Didn't they implement it at least for vulkan? https://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2019-October/153443.html

Also I gave GTA V mods as example but there are other programs that will benefit

Sorry if I annoy you with this, thanks for the answer and your great work on DXVK! ;)

The patch series was never merged into wine.

Yes, but the total number of known apps that are broken due to this is still in the single digits.

Nothing extracted yet.
