DXVK Windows project guide

If you want to build your own version of Fallout 4 Vulkan from github and aren't familiar with what you need. Here are the free tools you need. Its not super easy but not super hard to figure out. Just time.





What you need



1.Visual Studio 2022 Community Edition (Link is at bottom of page)

https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/community/




(I would download as many packages as possible within Visual Studio 2022. C/C+ compiler etc.

Just paste in the github link https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk and it will download the files needed to start compiling



2. Python 3.7 or newer for the Meson build system dxvk project likes to use

https://www.python.org/downloads/

3. Cmake(just for extra compiling tools to avoid any errors)

https://cmake.org/download/

4. Vulkan SDK(This has to be on the system or it will throw errors)

https://vulkan.lunarg.com/sdk/home



Basically in Visual Studio 2022 you want to use Visual Studio 2019 backend as it plays nicer with DXVK's project code.

search bar within Windows 10 find x64 Native Tools for VS 2022 ( Run as Administrator) ALWAYS. Click on that

CHANGE DIRECTORY TO  cd C:\Users\admin\source\repos\dxvk or where you prefer DXVK to compile to

then type in

meson --backend vs2019 --buildtype release build
