Dear Hans,

I was trying to play Ashes Escalation in Vulkan, and I was surprised to find that when using D3D11.dll from DXVK 2.3, it worked. But when I switched to D3D12.dll and D3D12core.dll from vkd3d-proton, it crashed on startup.

Did I deploy vkd3d-proton incorrectly? Is there a guideline on how to use it on Windows? Or are there any bugs?

Software information

Ashes of the Singularity Escalation 3.13.46785.0, DX12 mode, borderless fullscreen.

System information

• GPU: AMD Radeon 780M
• Driver: 31.0.23002.65
• Wine version: Not applicable for Win11
• VKD3D-Proton version: 2.11
• DXVK version: 2.3
