My Lgpu is quite old(radeon 7000) but still quite capable, i want to run pre 2012 games but unfortunately Vulkan is not supported by my gpu does such a software exist?

    Yes, directx to opengl (included in WINE) was used exclusively for a very long time before dxvk and vk-d3d came out just a few years ago. for older games you should be good to go, before i had a vulkan-capable card i ran all kinds of older games, usually without having to tweak anything. in a few games i had to change a game setting to use D3D9 instead of 11.

      Do you remember what the module was called as any directx game defaults to using the igpu for dxvk and there seems to be no option(in lutris) other than to outright disable dxvk.

        I never figured out how to disable DXVK so eventually I just made a 2nd wine prefix without DXVK for games I run in OpenGL.

        However if your GPU doesn't even support Vulkan then you shouldn't be using DXVK at all so why would you not want to disable dxvk?

        hmm, not sure… i've heard it referred to as "wined3d"? when i had a non-vulkan card it usually wouldn't try to run vulkan so i didn't have to mess with it. what result does disabling dxvk have?

        in steam you can put PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 in the launch options, but this doesn't help for non-steam games
