How to setup on windows?

[bennasar99]

It would be awesome if a windows tutorial was added. I know DXVK is compilable in windows and some people have even got it to run.
I would love to try it, but I don't know what to do with the dll .

Copy DLLs to the directory where the game's executables are, done.

Note that some games refuse to load DXVK, but there's nothing we can do about it.

@doitsujin I've tried putting dxvk files to folder with Arma 3. I've had an "entrypoint not found" error related to DXGID3D10GetLayeredDeviceSize function in d3d10core.dll library. What would've caused that?

[doitsujin]

No idea, DXVK doesn't implement or touch any of those D3D10 functions.

@doitsujin On Wine Arma 3 is working pretty good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwD4fvB4eZw
That's odd.

@grappas You can try also https://github.com/Joshua-Ashton/dxup among with dxvk.

@lieff Already tried that. Not instantly crashes but still dead end (hangs on black screen). I'm wondering: why on Wine with pure dxvk Arma 3 works like a charm and on Windows 10 do not. Max Payne III also gets this error but after error message closed... works without hiccups :)

@doitsujin Is there anything to do in regedit to make it work on Windows?

[doitsujin]

I don't use Windows enough to know that, sorry.

@doitsujin It seems to search for Wine version of this library and finds unfortunately an original one. I've tried copy over wine system32 files but it seems incompatibile (so I should expect).

I know this post is from 2018, but I was wondering how to install this Dxvk for old games such torchlight II
I downwloaded the last version 1.7 but there is not .dll files inside? :O

Sorry for being that noob =(

You have to open the .tar file. The dlls are in there.
