VKD3D 1.15 is out today as the newest version of this upstream Wine project for implementing the Microsoft Direct3D 12 APIs atop the Vulkan API for better Windows gaming on Linux and other D3D12 workloads on Linux or macOS when paired with MoltenVK.

VKD3D 1.15 brings more complete support for tessellation shaders within its HLSL compiler, improved function overload resolution, and various bug fixes.
