Description

Just asked also in this Vulkan->D3D12 wrapper: https://github.com/msiglreith/rostkatze/issues/3 so why not here also.. of course this is for when we have wine Vulkan support for MacOS: I asked for support to the guy who is adding Vulkan support into Wine these days: (https://github.com/roderickc/wine-vulkan/issues/8)

when this support is in place I'm creating this issue to see how as MoltenVK matures how becomes able to run current PC Vulkan games. no pressure of course.. just please keep it open.. I'm thinking primarily about: *vkquake *Doom 2016 *Wolfenstein II *Dota 2 *Talos principle *Ashes singularity
