There's a reason why Windows is unsupported. These kinds of issues happen and there's nothing we can do about it.

Hello.

The general gist is that while dxvk maybe work most of the time on Windows there are sometimes issues that can be specific to the OS either because of driver differences, game specific quirks (some game only load the dll's from the Windows system folders) or other setup specifics.
The official dxvk version is mainly focused to be used together with Linux Wine and so Windows (and Mac i guess) are not considered to be officially supported. That doesn't mean that Windows issues don't sometimes get solved, but usually unless they also affect Linux or are relatively minor changes they are not a primary focus. It is not about hating Windows or anything like that.

It is recommended to read through the Windows section in the wiki as it contains the general things to try when one is having trouble using dxvk on windows. https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/wiki/Windows
Making sure drivers are updated and no overlays are interfering is usually the first thing to try.

@davipinhati
When you make a issue make sure to fill out the required info from the issue template which includes stuff such as dxvk version used and logs from a broken game else it's hard to help or give advice besides whats found on the wiki link above.

Not that I care what some idiot on 4chan thinks but this isn't just a matter of us refusing to support Windows. Like I said, there's simply nothing we can do about it.

Nothing extracted yet.
