## 2.6
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It has been a long while since 2.5, and this release rolls up a lot of fixes, features and optimizations.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Fixes
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Fix black screen rendering bug in Horizon Zero Dawn after latest game updates.
|
||||||
|
- Fix crashes on startup in Final Fantasy VII: Remake and Warframe.
|
||||||
|
- Fix crashes in Guardians of the Galaxy when interacting with certain game objects.
|
||||||
|
- Fix hang on game shutdown in Elden Ring.
|
||||||
|
- Fix broken geometry rendering in Age of Empires: IV.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Optimization
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Improve generated shader code for vectorized load-store operations in DXIL.
|
||||||
|
- Greatly reduce CPU overhead for descriptor copy operations,
|
||||||
|
which is a key contributor to CPU overhead in D3D12.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Features
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### Pipeline library rewrite
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Support D3D12 pipeline libraries better where we can now also cache
|
||||||
|
generated SPIR-V from DXBC/DXIL.
|
||||||
|
Massively reduces subsequent load times in Monster Hunter: Rise,
|
||||||
|
and helps other titles like Guardian of the Galaxy and Elden Ring.
|
||||||
|
Also lays the groundwork for internal driver caches down the line for games which do not use this API.
|
||||||
|
Also, deduplicates binary blobs for reduced disk size requirements.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### Shader models
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Shader model 6.6 is now fully implemented. This includes support for:
|
||||||
|
- ResourceDescriptorHeap[] direct access
|
||||||
|
- 64-bit atomics
|
||||||
|
- IsHelperLane()
|
||||||
|
- Compute shader derivatives
|
||||||
|
- WaveSize attribute
|
||||||
|
- Packed math intrinsics
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
#### Minor features
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Handle API feature MinResourceLODClamp correctly if `VK_EXT_image_view_min_lod` is supported.
|
||||||
|
- Expose CastFullyTypedFormat feature.
|
||||||
|
- Expose some advanced shader features on Intel related to UAV formats (`VK_KHR_format_feature_flags2`).
|
||||||
|
- Support COLOR -> STENCIL copies.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Workarounds
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Workaround DEATHLOOP not emitting synchronization commands correctly. Fixes menu flicker on RADV.
|
||||||
|
- Workaround quirky API usage in Elden Ring. Removes many kinds of stutter and chug when traversing the scenery.
|
||||||
|
- Workaround certain environments failing to create Vulkan device if some `VK_NVX_*` extensions are enabled.
|
||||||
|
- Workaround glitched foliage rendering in Horizon Zero Dawn after latest game updates.
|
||||||
|
- Workaround some questionable UE4 shaders causing glitched rendering on RADV.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Note on future Vulkan driver requirements
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2.6 is expected to be the last vkd3d-proton release before we require some newer Vulkan extensions.
|
||||||
|
`VK_KHR_dynamic_rendering` and `VK_EXT_extended_dynamic_state`
|
||||||
|
(and likely `dynamic_state_2` as well) will be required.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`VK_KHR_dynamic_rendering` in particular requires up-to-date drivers and the legacy render pass path
|
||||||
|
will be abandoned in favor of it. Supporting both paths at the same time is not practical.
|
||||||
|
Moving to `VK_KHR_dynamic_rendering` allows us to fix some critical flaws with the legacy API
|
||||||
|
which caused potential shader compilation stutters and extra CPU overhead.
