## How to use
In order to install a DXVK package obtained from the [release](https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/releases) page into a given wine prefix, copy or symlink the DLLs into the following directories as follows, then open `winecfg` and manually add DLL overrides for `d3d11`, `d3d10core`, `dxgi`, and `d3d9`:
In order to install a DXVK package obtained from the [release](https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/releases) page into a given wine prefix, copy or symlink the DLLs into the following directories as follows, then open `winecfg` and manually add DLL overrides for `d3d11`, `d3d10core`, `dxgi`, and `d3d9`.
In a default Wine prefix that would be as follows:
```
WINEPREFIX=/path/to/wineprefix
export WINEPREFIX=/path/to/wineprefix
cp x64/*.dll $WINEPREFIX/drive_c/windows/system32
cp x32/*.dll $WINEPREFIX/drive_c/windows/syswow64
winecfg
```
Note that this is **not** an error, 64-bit DLLs are indeed supposed to go to the `system32` directory. Please refrain from opening issues or pull requests to change that, the instructions are correct as they are.
For a pure 32-bit Wine prefix (non default) the 32-bit DLLs instead go to the `system32` directory:
```
export WINEPREFIX=/path/to/wineprefix
cp x32/*.dll $WINEPREFIX/drive_c/windows/system32
winecfg
```
Verify that your application uses DXVK instead of wined3d by by enabling the HUD (see notes below).
In order to remove DXVK from a prefix, remove the DLLs and DLL overrides, and run `wineboot -u` to restore the original DLL files.
Tools such as Steam Play, Lutris, Bottles, Heroic Launcher, etc will automatically handle setup of dxvk on their own when enabled.
