I'd really like to use dxvk in Windows because I've seen it improve performance, but I can't run it. Each game starts for a few seconds, but then closes before opening the game window.

Windows 10
DXVK 1.7.2
GTX 1660 (Standard 456.71)

SRTTR_d3d11.log

gta_sa_d3d9.log
CivilizationV_DX11_d3d11.log

I tried 4 drivers:
460.20
457.00
456.71
456.55

Windows is unsupported and a lot of games simply refuse to work with DXVK on Windows.

Do make sure you're not running any overlays like RivaTuner/MSI Afterburner, Steam overlay, Uplay, Origin, etc.

I turned off all overlays. I tried dxvk in different games: with dx9, dx9 and 64bit, dx11 etc.

SotTR works fine here on Windows (AMD GPU). I don't have any of the other games.

Windows not a supported platform for this very reason, there's no telling why it's broken for you. Logs look fine, there must be some software interacting with Vulkan that breaks it (fwiw, having RTSS installed is enough to cause issues since the Vulkan layer for that gets loaded into every Vulkan app).

Nothing extracted yet.
