      Could you please package dxvk?

      Altohugh, it would be useless because I am encountering this error when attempting to use wine:

      
wine: failed to load L"\\??\\C:\\windows\\syswow64\\ntdll.dll" error c0000135

      To reproduce the issue:
      1. sudo dnf install wine
      2. mkdir ~/.wine
      3. export WINEARCH=win64
      4. export WINEPREFIX=~/.wine
      5. winecfg
      6. curl -L --create-dirs -o ~/.wine/drive_c/temp/GwSetup.exe https://cloudfront.guildwars2.com/client/GwSetup.exe
      7. wine start /d "C:\temp" "C:\temp\GwSetup.exe"

        Just checked, syswow64 is empty, but I don’t see any other package like a 32bit wine

        
$ls -lah ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/syswow64/
total 4,0K

          I just noticed a commit in the repo that addresses this issue. I wish I could delete messages now

      I don’t think I want dxvk packaged any more. I checked how it works on other distros and it doesn’t make much sense, I assumed those packages would detect the hardware and override with the correct dxvk version but they don’t

      The problem with wine running 32 bit binaries has been addressed and likely fixed with this release.
      dxvk package was also on the work but the current version provides native .so libraries but you probably want .dll libraries to use with wine. Other distributions provide both so it probably makes sense. By the way I’m also considering that you now say that you no longer need this.

        Yes it was addressed and fixed, thank you.
        Regarding the reason I don’t think I want dxvk any longer: I think you’re describing a dxvk-native, what I wanted was a typical wine-related dxvk package.
        As you know I have an old graphics card, an nvidia gtx 780, which is not compatible with the latest dxvk releases, only with the old 1.10.x versions.
        This means that a package would need to check what hardware is present in the system when being installed and using the latest releases for all graphics cards, except the old ones which need the older dxvk versions.
        I am not aware of a comprehensive list for hardware compatibility, so I think it would just be best to let users manually install dxvk according to their hardware.
        Obviously I may be wrong
