Wotlk 3.3.5 - D3d9 converted to (D3D12 or Vulkan) FPS and perfomance BOOST

[kazzrogue]

i would like to simply add, if your card supports Vulkan this is an absolute no download

why no download?

Lol my god i have no idea how in the world that typo got in there. I meant to say it is in fact an absolute download and that along with new character models is making it feel like an entirely new game.


Here is some gameplay in ICC with vulkan turned on https://youtu.be/ax_9js7CEqw



edit: and here is a before and after in dala, really shows what this thing can do! https://youtu.be/VgPrpWvC_FQ

I am currently playing on an Intel HD 770 and this improves fps a lot. I get stable 60 fps in almost all situations. Take into consideration:

* If you download the most recent version of dxvk from github the game will crash on startup. You need to update the intel drivers: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us...l-windows.html

* Using vsync with dxvk adds noticeable input lag. What I do is I disable vsync and instead cap fps using rivatuner. If you have tearing or intermitent slowdowns try to play with the "scanline sync" setting of rivatuner. If you don't want to use rivatuner, you can also cap with "/console maxfps 60", but you will have tearing for sure.

is this for Linux only or for windows too?
And to add to my previous post and answer after it:
info: OpenVR: could not open registry key, status 2
info: OpenVR: Failed to locate module

This is for all OSes. I use it on Windows.

That part of the log that you show is not a problem. What happens when you try to launch wow? Can you post the full log?

[opexo]

well i started it, i had to drag the x64 d3d9.dll in the wow.exe folder, not the x32

[Shred92]

If you drag the x64 version, it won't work at all.

Correct. Driver was the problem, driver:497.29 which i had is updated to 528.02 and now it runs with the 32bit file.
