GlideVK (Glide Vulkan wrapper) for Steam Proton?

Post by 0x6A7232 »

Would enable 3dfx for retro games on Steam running on Linux.

I asked about it in the Glorious Eggroll Discord (Glorious Eggroll aka Proton-GE, a modification of the compatibility layer that assists Windows games to run on Linux - includes fixes that Steam can't due to copyright etc reasons). Someone suggested making a bounty for GlideVK (Glide to Vulkan wrapper, most games currently use DXVK which works well for most of them). How much would be a significant enough donation to try this or is it a significant undertaking?

I've seen some suggestion that all you need to do is put the glide .dll in the game directory but unsure if true.
