I have no idea what the actual issue is cause you ignored the template entirely.

Please fill it out.

Not a bug really more like request. Dxvk doesnt activate for this game, later i found out this is d3d8 game, then used https://github.com/crosire/d3d8to9/releases, but dxvk still doesnt activate.

Please just fill out the basic information on the template so I have some idea as to what setup/system you are running so I can actually help you.

ok form filled

Requested feature: if possible to run dxvk over d3d8to9 https://github.com/crosire/d3d8to9/releases

It's already possible. I've been doing it for a few years now and have reported several bugs for D3D8 games which got fixed in DXVK thanks to @Joshua-Ashton .

All you have to do is grab the d3d8.dll from d3d8to9, copy it to your Wine prefix in the windows/syswow64 and windows/system32 dirs (it's also a good idea make a backup of the existing dlls first), then add an override in wine for d3d8 -> native. D3D8 games should now translate D3D8 -> D3D9 via d3d8to9, then D3D9->Vulkan with DXVK.

lol that did it!

d3d8 -> native in winecfg

@Joshua-Ashton @WinterSnowfall Could this be mentioned in the wiki somehow i wouldnt be able if use d3d8to9 with dxvk if it werent for your comment!?

lol that did it!

Keep in mind that unless you specify an override, Wine will just use the builtin module for a dll that it also provides. That's how things work. With no override you'd fall back to WineD3D. It's not a DXVK specific thing, so I don't see why it would be documented here.

i thought it was native,builtin by default should have worked out of the box

Last I checked it was the other way around. Builtin then native by default. See here: https://wiki.winehq.org/Winecfg#Libraries

oh my mistake, anyways thx, i am closing this since it is not dxvk related
