Other information
DXVK-async
- DXVK-async is a fork of DXVK that changes the compilation of pipelines (e.g. shaders etc) to be an asynchronous operation performed by a worker thread. This prevents the compile process from blocking the main thread which could otherwise cause noticable stutters in games.
Notes
- ↑ It is... debatable... which release version we should use. Technically speaking v1.0 was released on February 25, 2019[1] but is otherwise not really different than any other releases that predates it and came after, ergo I opted to see the very first public release, v0.20,[2] as the 'official' release date.[3]
