D7VK version 1.7 brings even more retro Direct3D gaming to Linux

D7VK version 1.7, a Vulkan-based translation layer for running older Direct3D games on Linux via Wine/Proton, has been released. This update improves rendering for legacy Direct3D versions 3, 5, 6, and earlier, enhancing compatibility for titles like O.R.B: Off-World Resource Base, Requiem: Avenging Angel, and Warhammer: Dark Omen. Further work is planned for fixed function lighting and other legacy features.
