Cyberpunk won't be affected as it uses D3D12
Proton translates D3D12 to Vulkan. So the game runs with Vulkan on Linux.
But DX12 doesn’t use DXVK, it uses VKD3D-Proton.
Didn't vkd3d stand for Vulkan Direct 3D?, a directx reimplementation/translation of proton/wine?
As far as I know, it has always been specifically for Direct3D 12, which makes sense because of that version's design similarities to Vulkan.
DXVK does the same thing for earlier Direct3D versions.

Ah, you are right. I didn't pay attention to this. It even says this in the introduction of the article. Thanks for clearing up.
