WWE 2K23, WWE 2K24 and WWE 2K25

System information

  • GPU: RTX 4060
  • Driver: 576.40
  • VKD3D-Proton version: 2.14.1

The listed titles will freeze with VKD3D when trying to load into the main game modes, i can load the Benchmark. but trying to load any main mode will cause the game to freeze and i have to close it with the Task Manager

Image

If i remove VKD3D the game loads as normal, even if i load the game with DX12 then make it run with VKD3D it will still freeze when loading
For the past 4 Months all Nvidia drivers i installed / upgraded doesn't change it
Occurs on both Windows and Proton for Linux on the same machine (Proton 9, 10, Experimental and GE)

What driver is this? That looks like a Windows driver version.

Was fixed in 3.0. late but this was still open and just remembered.
