I don't know, Windows people always seem to be having random issues for no reason and this is a good example of why we can't properly support it. The game works fine with DXVK, even on old NV cards.
I tried a fresh windows install but still it's not working :(
I think your problem is that (as far as i know) the Geforce 600 series doesn't support feature level 11_1, only 11_0.
I have seen the same issue on some peoples systems for a unity game where DirectX 11.1 is needed but their 700 series also didn't support it properly so it wasn't displaying everything correctly. Trying to work around it with dxvk would give a similar error that DirectX 11 is needed or something.
I tried googling for the error workaround you mentioned and the article i found also states
While the error is quite easy to fix, you need to have a graphics card that supports the DirectX feature level 11.1. If your GPU does not support the feature level, sadly there is no fix that is going to work other than replacing the GPU. But, if your GPU supports the feature level and you still get the error, here is what you need to do.
And it then goes on to say one can try dxvk as a workaround
I think your problem is that (as far as i know) the Geforce 600 series doesn't support feature level 11_1, only 11_0.
DXVK exposes Feature Level 11_1 on these older GPUs. There's a few weird Direct2D-related features that they can't support properly, but DXVK does not support those either, and the game doesn't need them. They could make this game work on FL11_0 hardware if they wanted to.
Roger understood.
@m2ma May I ask which Windows version you are running? 🙂
@Blisto91 I know its not supporting feature level 11.1, that's why I'm using dxvk to fix that problem.
I've seen many people on youtube that running this game with the exact graphic cards using dxvk, I don't know why it's not working with me.

Ah okay yes i see it works for some people and for others not. Looking at the nexus mods comments where you also posted.
I will see if I'm able to reproduce.

Any update?
I see many other also have the same problem. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYVbm4prF9Y

Not yet no sorry.
It doesn't reproduce on my AMD GPU setup, and haven't been able to try it on my GF's Nvidia setup.
Hopefully this weekend.
@m2ma Hi there.
I have sadly not been able to reproduce on my gf's 960.
Tried updating and downdating drivers and some other stuff. But no crash.

Well, thanks for your try but what do you think is our crash for? I have tried every solution on the internet but didn't make any difference.
No idea. I'm not actually a dev or contributor :grin:
Tho maybe some driver or GPU related setting or similar.
You could with the latest commit artifact and see if any changes since 1.9.4 has made a difference.
Or you could make a dxvk.conf file next to the exe and see if any of the dxgi or d3d11 settings change anything.
The funniest thing is she runs on Intel Graphics hd 530

How do you know his gf? lol
In the next few days I will upgrade my graphics to 1050 TI to see if there is a change in the game for me or not, I hope it works because it cost me about $ 300
Maybe enable the NVAPI hack and imporsonate as AMD GPU?

Update, I'm currently playing the game without any problems with the 1050 TI graphics card. I do not know why dxvk did not work for me with GTX 660, I have seen many people on YouTube have played with the same graphics card.
Nothing extracted yet.
Hi, I'm using the latest version of dxvk (1.9.4 and also tried older ver) to fix FEATURE 11.1 Error, but after running the game gives black screen for a few seconds and then it crash, no error message or etc. I have some Error in GoW_dxgi.log. What should i do?
