  • GPU: not relevant
  • Driver: not relevant
  • Wine version: MULTIPLE :
    - wine64-proton-10.0.2d,
    - wine64-proton-10.0.3,
    - wine64-vanilla-10.15,
    - wine64-vanilla-10.16,

    - wine64-vanilla-10.18,
    - wine64-vanilla-10.19,
    - wine64-vanilla-10.20
  • DXVK version: not relevant

currently in setup_dxvk.sh :

wine="wine"
wine64="wine64"
wineboot="wineboot"

are hardcoded, instead of using the commonly used WINE environment variable to determine which wine is used,
since all wine are installed in /usr/bin they can't be selected using a path....

current design prevent creating prefix to be used with a specific version of Wine (for testing or because some app don't work with recent wine)

setup_dxvk.sh has long been removed from this repository because people kept complaining about it.

This is a brilliant example of why the script was removed in the first place. I have never heard of this supposedly "commonly used" environment variable either because nothing I know of uses it over $PATH.

Anyway, nothing actionable here.
