3D Settings Manager for Linux

A crossplatform GUI helping to streamline configuration of DXVK (dxvk.conf), and vkBasalt (vkBasalt.conf) settings for individual games when playing via proton / wine.
It offers a seamless and persistent way to manage per game 3D settings profiles, ensuring your proton / wine games run and look their best without manually editing the configuration files.

Visit the following to find more information about the two projects:

• DXVK
• vkBasalt

You will need both vkBasalt and DXVK installed on your system to actually have the effects work!

Key Features

• GUI Wrapper for DXVK & vkBasalt:

  • Easily control and configure critical settings for DXVK and vkBasalt.

• Per Game Settings Management / JSON Persistence:

  • Add and manage entries for your favourite wine / proton games. These entries and their associated settings are saved uniquely for each application in a JSON file.
    • This application automatically attempts to detect the games name and graphics API (e.g. D3D12 / Vulkan etc) of the executable using the pefile library; for user reference.

• Automatic Deployment:

  • Upon saving, the manager automatically generates and places the necessary DXVK and vkBasalt configuration (dxvk.conf and vkBasalt.conf) directly into the selected applications working directory (where the executable is located).

• Load / Save Functionality:

  • Quickly load settings to populate the GUI dropdowns with the saved configuration for the selected game, or save settings to apply your changes; enabling quick tweaking of settings.

• Linux Native, Distro Agnostic Release:

  • Built specifically for the Linux ecosystem and distributed as a convenient, ready to run Appimage.

How it Works / How to Use

1. Add Application
   • Push 'Add Application', Navigate to the games executable, then select it to let the manager scan and add it to the list.
2. Select the application to configure by pushing the corresponding radio button, then adjust the settings in the right panel.
3. Save Application
   • When you push 'Save Settings' two key actions are performed;
     1. Saves the selected applications settings to a JSON file for recall.
     2. Generates and places both dxvk.conf and vkBasalt.conf in the games working directory and gives you launch arguments to add to the applications steam listing.
4. Launch game
   • Test your settings...

Want to tweak settings?

1. Select the applications listing, then push 'Load Settings'
2. The settings should auto populate with the last saved settings ready to tweak.

Want to delete an applications listing?

1. Select the applications listing, then push 'Delete Application'
   • This removes the Application from the JSON file (manual removal of configuration files is required)
