on OS that only supports bitblt
Are we talking about Windows 7 here?
Depends on whether the app you're trying to run works with DXVK, in general it should work, much like we also expose D3D11.1 on Windows 7, but we're not really giving much thought to maintaining compatibility to that OS.
Note that DXVK doesn't treat bitblt and flip model swap chains any differently, in both cases we create one single back buffer that we're blitting to the Vulkan swap chain on present.
app works with dxvk, question was if for example using special k which uses dxgi flipmode , would it be possible to get special k to run on w7 by using dxvk ...by it emulating dxgi flipmode per dxvk that is, currently trying to get special k to run on w7 here
Don't know, just test it for yourself? SpecialK doesn't support Windows 7 and I don't know if flip model swap chains are really the only issue.
Also, don't expect SK's frame limiter to work with DXVK, for some reason it really doesn't like the way we implement frame latency events.
know anyone who could or would be willing to help get special k to run on w7? would even pay if i must, also interesting bout the frame limiter issue , not sure if fixable? if youd like id also like to add ya to my discord friends list ...if you want
No.
Nothing extracted yet.
is it possible as said for DXVK to use Vulkan Apis to substitute DXGI Flipmode to get DXGI Flipmode apps to work on OS that only supports bitblt ?
Important: When reporting an issue with a specific game or application, such as crashes or rendering issues, please include log files and, if possible, a D3D11/D3D9 Apitrace (see https://github.com/apitrace/apitrace) so that the issue can be reproduced.
In order to create a trace for D3D11/D3D10: Run
wine apitrace.exe trace -a dxgi YOURGAME.exe.In order to create a trace for D3D9: Follow https://github.com/Joshua-Ashton/d9vk/wiki/Making-a-Trace.
Preferably record the trace on Windows, or wined3d if possible.
Reports with no log files will be ignored.
