That's not really a problem. I don't think anyone will mind (I certainly don't). And for the record probably 98%+ of the code is Alpyne's work (and dedication) anyway.

P.S.: The game in question reverts to using D3DFMT_D24X8 if the initial call to CheckDepthStencilMatch() with D3DFMT_D32 fails. This is apparent in the trace captured with WineD3D.

There's a call to `CheckDepthStencilMatch()`, using D32 as the depth stencil format, that works with dxvk but returns D3DERR_NOTAVAILABLE with WineD3D, the latter of which should be the correct behavior....

Most likely related: https://github.com/AlpyneDreams/d8vk/issues/165 It's also using UE2, and arguably the stuttering is nowhere near as bad as it is in UT2004, but it's there. It's probably more evident in...

Does setting `d3d9.cachedDynamicBuffers = True` help?

I hope it's clear that dxvk can't crash your computer - what it can do is use your hardware resources more efficiently and that could in turn expose problems that...
