Hi there.
Please go into more details with each issue so we are sure what you are talking about. Also attach a dxvk log.

vram: The vram situation is being actively worked on at the moment so should improve with future releases.
50fps: This is only when vsync is engaged right?
Shader bugs: Please include screenshots or videos so we know what you mean. Possibly a apitrace.
Smoothness: I don't know what you mean by smoothness

dx9(original) not have troubles with shadows

vulkan have troubles with shadows


I can't add the video because OBS don't can record this game.

What is the issue in the screenshots? I'm not spotting anything.

Try latest master. Can be downloaded here https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/actions/runs/10984315685

it's still 50 fps and same shadow bug

I can't see any shadow bugs. Looks correct to me. Can you get a bit more specific please? And I assume 50 fps is less than you expect?

yes why I do not have 60+ fps? and look careful to 2 screenshots it's only in VULKAN version bugs when see are shadows.

From your log:

info: Setting display mode: 1920x1080@50
info: Setting display mode: 1920x1080@50
info: Detected frame rate (~53) higher than selected refresh rate of ~50 Hz.
info: Engaging frame rate limiter.

It even restores afterwards, but dxvk's fps limiter has already done its job of limiting it to 50fps previously:

info: Restoring display mode: 1920x1080@60
info: Setting display mode: 1920x1080@60

Can you send a save game in regards to the shadows? I haven't noticed anything odd while playing the game myself.

yes why I do not have 60+ fps?

You will never get 60+ fps, because the game is locked at 60 fps (when V-Sync is on). For the 50 Hz problem, one of the above PRs should be able to sort your issues (actually both do, but remains to be seen which will be merged).

In the case of shadows, I see them outlined just fine on dxvk/Vulkan, so not sure what problem you're suggesting we should be able to see.
