As I'm not following this thread on a regular basis - will V4 have a command line / config file toggle that will force a specific graphics API (DX9 / DX11)?
I think it has been mentioned a while back.
I'm asking as it would be super useful for the folks like me that use Linux and would like to give MoI3D a go. I've been writing about it a couple of times, but when you have Nvidia card and use WINE (in a similar fashion that MoI release for OSX used) there was a drawing problem. Each frame on the screen was one frame behind the actual state - which made working with MoI out of the question (as for example you didn't know what was actually selected - as you haven't seen the yellow highlight, at least not until the screen got redrawn).
So why this toggle could be so useful? Well, with the tech like DXVK I could try launching MoI with it. Hopefully translating DX calls to Vulkan won't suffer from the same problem as translation to OpenGL does (fingers crossed). But I would need to make sure MoI uses DX11.
Heck, with one of the new packaging formats - Appimages for example, I could even try packing MoI with Wine and DXVK preconfigured and have an easy to use Linux version :) .
And yeah , I know official support for Linux may be a bit too much for Michael to handle, but it would be awesome if you could at least make it easier for Linux folks to set it up on the OS of choice :) .
