Attached Log:

• Without environment variables: steam-1623730.log
• With environment variables: steam-1623730.log

Symptoms

Launching the game without environment variables opens the game normally but it didn't utilize dGPU at all, resulting in 15-30 fps even on 1280*720 lowest settings. Adding VK_ICD_FILENAMES, DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME, force_vk_vendor variables (both in tandem and in isolation) results in heavy stuttering at the main menu, before eventually crashes (at least in my case, others' cases seemed to work). According to #7892, it might have something to do with GPU enumeration of DirectX 11/12.

Reproduction

1. Use laptop with multiple GPUs
2. Add environment variables (if you do, go to 4b.)
3. Launch the game (go to 4a.)
4. Encounter the issue symptoms mentioned above.
