My laptop can game, no problem, at the very moment. I just trying DXVK on Windows, because it piqued my interest and I don't have any Linux machines to poke around. I don't know whether it is DXVK's problem or my Intel Iris XE and XE Max's driver problem, every time I play Need For Speed Payback, it played smoothly for 5 minutes and suddenly crashed. I checked the logs, and found nothing.

Plus, I have nothing opened on the background. No overlays, nothing.

*Sorry, I'm a begineer but likes to tinker stuff like this.

warn: D3D11DeviceFeatures: Some formats not supported for resource sharing

I'm guessing that implies the game uses shared resources, which is not supported on Windows. Tho i dunno if that is related to your crash.

Looking at your specs it could also just be that you run out of memory/vram. Have you tried looking at memory usage before the crash?

I did, it just used 3.5 out of 4GB VRAM and my RAM usage is just 85% out of the 8GB.

While i was on Windows anyway i tried this game with dxvk, but i was unable to as it just crashes then when i hit resume game. Even when spoofing other GPU vendors and turning off EA overlay.

@iqbalrazi03 Try a new test with dxvk 2.3 and latest driver.

Hi, I recently started playing NFS payback and I suffer from the red flashes during susnset/evening game time (my GPU is 6700xt, this is a known AMD issue).
I read somewhere that DXVK can potentially fix this, but when I copy the x64 dlls from release 2.3 to the game's directory it crashes on startup and doesn't even load.

Might be better if you make a new issue

Hi! I'm the author of this post.

Like the previous commenter said, it might be better if you make a new post. I also stopped playing NFS Payback since i encountered too many problems with DXVK in Windows.

@iqbalrazi03 Are you able to give this another try with dxvk master?

@iqbalrazi03 Double friendly ping

Sorry for my English, I suffer from the same problem, in the beginning I could play for 4 to 5 hours easily, but lately, I can only play for 20 to 40 minutes, the game simply freezes and closes the executable file.
