GE-Proton7-48 Released

• Updated proton-wine bleeding edge
• Updated vkd3d-proton
• Updated dxvk
• Update dxvk-nvapi

Latest upstream changes should include the most recent Dead Space fixes.

Additionally, in the previous proton-ge build I noted a problem with Monster Hunter: Rise. This issue turned out to be specific to the 7900 XT/X cards. The fix is currently pending on mesa/radv:

GE-Proton7-47 Released

Hotfix release:

I received a ping from the dxvk author today for the following hotfix:

@GloriousEggroll sorry for ping but you might want to update dxvk in your proton builds asap,
since we've been writing invalid state cache files that can lead to all sorts of trouble.
relevant commits to fix stuff:

doitsujin/dxvk@0af5ece...master

Per the commit it will invalidate old caches automatically, you do not need to do anything yourself.

Phew, what a wild week of hotfixing :/

GE-Proton7-46 Released

This is a hotfix release for vkd3d that fixes several DX12 games not launching and/or crashing on launch, including:

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide
Death Stranding
The Division 2

MH:Rise is still broken unfortunately (stuck on flickering compiling shaders screen)

GE-Proton7-45 Released

Removed deprecated broken dxvk-async patch:

Upstream DXVK has implemented the GraphicsPipelineLibrary (GPL) back in August, which takes over dxvk-async's job:

https://www.khronos.org/blog/reducing-draw-time-hitching-with-vk-ext-graphics-pipeline-library
doitsujin/dxvk#2798

Driver support for Nvidia was added in version 515.49.10:
https://developer.nvidia.com/vulkan-driver

Driver support for AMD/RADV was added in August 2022 and is an ongoing WIP:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/17542

Per the above, it can be exposed/enabled for testing on AMD/RADV via:
RADV_PERFTEST=gpl

dxvk-async now causes problems with the dxvk-cache, which is not something new users may know how to clear:
Sporif/dxvk-async#55

In light of the above, in addition to the current rebase still not working properly, I am removing the dxvk-async patch from Proton-GE.

RIP dxvk-async 2018-2023
