Software information

Game: Grand Theft Auto IV
I decided to upgrade my pc and do a clean install of Windows 10 and GTA 4. So I added a few new mods that I hadn't used before but the game crashes at start if you have dxvk installed otherwise it loads in like normal. Im also using fastman92 limit adjuster so if it crashes i get a error from that but removing the limit adjuster you get a black screen then it exits to desktop. Also I have a another GTA 4 that has GTAIVSA mod applied and the dxvk there works just fine altough its not using all the same mods.

System information

  • GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti
  • Driver: Game Ready Driver version 531.41
  • OS: Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC Version 21H2 (OS Build 19044.2788)
  • DXVK version: 2.1
  • Game version: 1070

Apitrace file(s)

If I do a apitrace the game starts like normal for some reason.

Hello.
Please list all the mods you are using in the crashing install. The dxvk logs doesn't contain anything interesting.

If I do a apitrace the game starts like normal for some reason.

That is normal. apitrace doesn't go through dxvk by default, so if you have one recorded with all the mods enabled attach it here.

The game is known to work fine on Linux.

So this is either some Windows issue that we can't do anything about or some incompatibility with whatever fastman92 is.

The game would still crash even if i removed the limit adjuster

The game works fine here. It's either an issue with your Windows setup or with one of your million mods. In either case there's pretty much no chance we'll ever figure out what's going on.

Looks like it might be the mods as removing some of them causes the game to not start

It was caused by fastman's limit adjuster, to get both dxvk and the limit adjuster to work you had to open the ini in fastman's limi adjuster and disable the crash exception handler
