Vulkan applications crash due to "Out of Memory" issues

[sunnystormy]

I don't know if this is the right place to post this, and if there is a better place, please direct me there. :)

I've started using some WINE applications thru Linux, and they keep running out of memory due to the DXVK layer.

When an application runs, I get this output inside of the terminal:

info:  Intel(R) HD Graphics 530 (SKL GT2):
info:    Driver: 20.3.3
info:    Vulkan: 1.2.145
info:    Memory Heap[0]:
info:      Size: 11943 MiB
info:      Flags: 0x1
info:      Memory Type[0]: Property Flags = 0xf
info:  llvmpipe (LLVM 11.0.1, 256 bits):
info:    Driver: 0.0.1
info:    Vulkan: 1.0.2
info:    Memory Heap[0]:
info:      Size: 2048 MiB
info:      Flags: 0x1
info:      Memory Type[0]: Property Flags = 0xf

After piping my vulkan information into a text file, I noticed this:

VkPhysicalDeviceMemoryProperties:
=================================
memoryHeaps: count = 1
        memoryHeaps[0]:
                size   = 12523238400 (0x2ea717400) (11.66 GiB)
                budget = 12523143168 (0x2ea700000) (11.66 GiB)
                usage  = 0 (0x00000000) (0.00 B)
                flags: count = 1
                        MEMORY_HEAP_DEVICE_LOCAL_BIT

Whereas my GL information is:

(GLX_MESA_query_renderer):
    Vendor: Intel (0x8086)
    Device: Mesa Intel(R) HD Graphics 530 (SKL GT2) (0x191b)
    Version: 20.3.3
    Accelerated: yes
    Video memory: 3072MB
    Unified memory: yes
    Preferred profile: core (0x1)
    Max core profile version: 4.6
    Max compat profile version: 4.6
    Max GLES1 profile version: 1.1
    Max GLES[23] profile version: 3.2

Notice that the two memory sizes are significantly different. Is there a way to place a hard-cap on the memory for the Vulkan side of things? I would like to be able to play games without them running out of memory.

Thank you for your help!
