Given that DXVK exists for the sole purpose of faithfully recreating DX11 compatibility on Linux and to shrink the performance gap, there ought to be an explicit exemption. I know Warframe will never support Linux, but it would still be nice to not have the risk of being banned for using it either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urlan Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Very much a shame to be sure, hopefully some official support then for LInux systems can be made in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)shadowraith_666 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 seems a bit odd that a DX11 > vulcan compatibility layer would be banned since thats all it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
--Banshee Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 DXVK is just a replacement to wined3d. wined3d is already a DirectX->OpenGL compatibility layer. DXVK is just a DirectX->Vulkan compatibility layer and can even be used on Windows. Using DXVK is no different than using wined3d. Either way you are replacing the original DirectX implementation. In theory, DXVK should be no more "dangerous" than using wined3d which you are probably already using if you are playing with Wine. Also, d3d11.dll, and dxgi.dll are not located within the Warframe install directory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Hey DE, we'll happily make our own unofficial support for the game if you guys just don't ban us for trying." 'No lol, keep your money. - ❤️ DE' A company does not have to plan to support something, to have people ask them to consider it. That's kinda what... feedback is, pointing at something and stating your opinion on how it might be improved. OP isn't even asking them for a full port. :T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres a difference between asking for them to support it and asking for them to not ban people for using it. A company can be neutral on something, doesnt have to be as black and white as you are making it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Warframe will never support Linux, but it would still be nice to not have the risk of being banned for using it either. erm.. I think you missread that post entirely. [DE]Nate says it's -NOT- forbidden. Here's the actual quote from the post: Quote [DE]Nate February 14, 2018 19:39 Hello MEXAHOTABOP, The long and the short version is that if you are changing .dll files within your computer for your own purposes, there will not be any backlash at all. The time this becomes an issue is if .dll files are changes in the Warframe library and then you logon, or if you are currently logged on, and you change the .dll files in the Warframe library. Hopefully this helps resolve the issue. "The time this becomes an issue is if .dll files are changes in the Warframe library" DXVK does not alter Warframe nor any of it's libraries in any way, shape or form. Neither does my updater script, and neither does WINE in linux. All DXVK does is translate DirectX 11 API calls to Vulkan, the same thing WINE does for DirectX11 to OpenGL. Again, no Warframe libraries, content, or otherwise are modifed -AT ALL-. Edited August 23, 2018 by GloriousEggroll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
