Description

Parent issue (ValveSoftware/Proton#66), but likely needs to be a discussion specific to wine maintainers (perhaps the same group). See https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/66#issuecomment-415921207 for a summary of the suggestion, but given the state of d3d9 over vulkan and the performance gains for those able to make use of Gallium Nine it seems worth consideration. Obviously, may have other priorities and this would require maintaining the changes to some degree which is why the topic should be discussed before much effort is given.

Research direction

Start by reading the linked parent issue, Proton#66, and its referenced comment for the Gallium Nine proposal and current d3d9-over-Vulkan context. Done would be a maintainer discussion and decision on whether adapting and maintaining the wine-d3d9 patches is worthwhile.
