    `a regression to D9VK where full constant uploads were not working`
    The issue is that they were working. We don't need to do full constant uploads if the shader doesn't demand it.

      So you have The Sims 2 working as well ? Great ! I guess it means you implemented ProcessVertices with vs 3.

        Btw, gallium nine standalone has just seen a new release

        Build Gallium Nine support on top of an existing WINE installation - iXit/wine-nine-standalone


        @Michael: Would you be able to compare D9VK and gallium nine at some point? Gallium nine is working very well for me (e.g. Counter Strike Source with proton and an Athlon 5350).

          Any specific reason you are using Counter-Strike Source via gallium nine? I (rarely, these days) play the native linux version and it works well, except for mic/voice not working.

            Maybe due to that.

              Cool, hopefully Knights of the Old Republic works now.

                I believe knights of the old republic used openGL, so it will never work with D9VK

                  To add to my previous comment I disabled d3d8, d3d9 in winecfg, and the no impact on the game running, also if you read the system requirements it says its needs a directx9 compatible sound card, and opengl 1.4 or so.

                    Yes, the native linux version only offers stereo sound whereas the windows version offers e.g. 5.1 or even 7.1 surround sound. Using proton (with gallium nine) and the fantastic directsound -> openal wrapper from the openalsoft dev (https://github.com/kcat/dsoal) then gives you surround sound with headphones on linux (using the dsoal wrapper and then enabling openalsoft's HRTF, let me know if you want to try this and need help setting it up).

                    Generally I feel that shooters like ut2k4 or css really benefit from 3d sound, so I'm really happy openalsoft (and dsoal) exist on linux I think it's at least on par with the old x-fi's cmss-3d from the good old win xp days

                    Plus: at least on my Athlon 5350, the css video stress test yields 65fps with gallium nine and 60fps with the native version (both fullHD and low details). On my FX-6300/HD7790 rig, performance is more or less the same.
