Reason for rebuild

vkd3d-git currently is at version 1.11.556.g9c83caed.

vkd3d-tkg-git and lib32-vkd3d-tkg-git and vkd3d-proton-tkg-git and lib32-vkd3d-proton-tkg-git are lacking behind quite a lot.

These are custom (tkg) pkgbuilds in lists. Failing to build because of linker errors. I'm inclined to drop tkg packages.

If extra/vkd3d isn't good enough, we can use either aur/vkd3d-git or a custom (in-house) pkgbuild.

tkg packages

+1, they have been problematic since a while. I think @PedroHLC was actively fixing up the issues when they were introduced years ago, but since nobody (I guess?) here actively makes use of them anymore, constantly fixing up new errors became an annoying chore quite quickly. Tkg-kernels were already dropped due to this, therefore it makes sense to handle the other packages that way too.
Relevant: #3165

Dropped the tkg packages, except mesa-tkg-git. It is currently working, while aur/mesa-git and aur/lib32-mesa-git are not.

will tkg packages get back when they're fixed?

Not these. They were very attractive in the past with unique features/patches, but now other packages (proton-ge, linux-cachyos, AUR's vkd3d-git) have the same features and patches, pre-configured in a way where it benefits the biggest group of people out-of-the-box. TkG's packages still focus on customization (tweak them your own way while building), which is a challenge for us to redistributing pre-built packages.

Except of mesa-tkg-git which is still the best maintained mesa*-git around.

you gave me better info about it i wasn't aware of.
so i need to use something-git from the aur instead of tkg ones? except mesa tkg
(i'm bad at english so if you get what i mean)

Exactly, you'll want to replace vkd3d{,-proton}-tkg-git with the equivalent vkd3d-proton-mingw-git (also, non-proton one has no advantages over the proton one, and we don't have 32-bits DX12 games around)

thanks a lot for telling me, wish you a good day 👍🏻

What is the use-case difference between `vkd3d-git` and `vkd3d-proton-mingw-git`? What does the `mingw` mean?
