Please describe your issue as accurately as possible. If you run into a problem with a binary release, make sure to test with latest master as well.

Important: When reporting an issue with a specific game or application, such as crashes or rendering issues, please include log files and, if possible, a D3D11/D3D9 Apitrace (see https://github.com/apitrace/apitrace) so that the issue can be reproduced.
In order to create a trace for D3D11/D3D10: Run wine apitrace.exe trace -a dxgi YOURGAME.exe.
In order to create a trace for D3D9: Follow https://github.com/Joshua-Ashton/d9vk/wiki/Making-a-Trace.
Preferably record the trace on Windows, or wined3d if possible.

Reports with no log files will be ignored.

It's not picking up your config file. Try setting the environment variable DXVK_CONFIG_FILE to the path to your config file.

What exactly do you hope to achieve by disabling the nvapi hack btw?

Wwashingleavesandthensome23-434 2022-03-26 github

well ....for my gpu not being reported to game as amd card ....messes with some games that check for nvidia api when it comes to rtx stuff etc

The parts of the log that you added shows that the option is getting applied correctly.

so why do i get this at the very bottom of the log then? confuses the hell out of me
this:
DXGI: NvAPI workaround enabled, reporting AMD GPU

I used the dxvk.conf file mentioned above but one can also try specifying the GPU to use via an environment variable. In my case my AMD CPU's GPU was getting in the way of my dedicated Nvidia gpu. So to use the Nvidia gpu I ran steam with
export DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME="NVIDIA"; steam

Where "NVIDIA" is unique to a single card as found running command: vulkaninfo

you can try
PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=0
maybe it helps
