D7VK 1.3 released with Direct3D 5 support on Vulkan

D7VK 1.3, the latest update to the graphics translation layer, introduces Direct3D 5 support on Vulkan. Building on version 1.0's Direct3D 7 compatibility, this enhances legacy app support on modern Linux systems. Phoronix announced the release.

This version extends D7VK's capabilities to Direct3D 5 applications, enabling older software to utilize Vulkan on contemporary hardware, particularly in Linux environments.

Phoronix highlighted the update amid ongoing open-source efforts in graphics compatibility. While performance details are limited, it benefits users of vintage games lacking native Vulkan support.

The release continues the project's progress in preserving legacy Direct3D APIs through Vulkan translation.
