Symptoms

When i try to launch ZenlessZoneZero with DX12, RTX and DLSS the game would not pass the loading screen that comes after the title screen. Even if I don't force DXVK_NVAPI and just enable or not even at all, this will happen anyways. I even tried different versions of Proton and they also don't work. I even tried to use spritz wine and that also doesn't work.

Reproduction

PROTON_FORCE_NVAPI=1 %command% -use-d3d12
