It's working smooth without any wrapper on Win10, but decided to report it anyway.

  • Driver: 531.79 (and early)
  • OS: Windows 10 2H22

dxvk.enableAsync = true

Haven't looked at this yet but note that the above config doesn't do anything with this dxvk

That's because I've tested it with differenr versions, including "async" one. Or whatever it called, the entirely different github page. Config is just a "leftovers".

I did some testing on Linux with AMD and radv but didn't encounter any crashing issues. Gonna try Windows later, tho i'm probably not gonna encounter anything with my system i'm guessing.

Works fine * fingers crossed * with this build: https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/actions/runs/5372617181 But there is still some very annoying "bug": if you alt-tab too much, game stops capturing by OBS and the picture freezes in OBS preview. Other than this everything seems fine.
UPD: It still crashes, but game is holding much longer now, about ~2,5 hours. Also captured video seems laggy in some places (like DXVK gives you fast framerate advantage only on host monitor, but not in OBS). There are also some visual glitches.

Game was crashing after cutscenes (some time after you exit quest buildings). if you need it, I can record an apitrace later.

BBlisto91 2023-07-02 github

Yes please.

There are also some visual glitches.

Apitrace file(s)

Can't apitrace because of this error:

Oh, yes, I forgot about this error. So no apitrace, sorry :( Only can record a video of a glitch.

Can you also share a save game if it's in a specific location? :slightly_smiling_face:

Yeah, I am so sorry. I've been really busy lately. I'll provide all necessary files when I can.

@CortexReaver Might be interesting to give it another shot with current master when you have time
