Blizzard recently announced that they will be enabling DirectStorage for Diablo 4 in the future.
Will gaming on Wine support this feature as new games start to enable it?

What is DirectStorage?

[–] Erska@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Movement of stuff from SSD to GPU without accessing CPU/RAM.

provides parallel reads from nvme ssds through the PCIE connections both the GPU and SSD connect to.

I may be wrong, but I think DirectStorage is just part of the D3D API and being translated to Vulkan with VKD3D.

Last I was aware, there wasn't anything for wine/proton to hook into to enable support. I know nvidia added extensions for some of the functionality, but I don't think there's anything ready to actually use it on Linux yet.
