Since this morning dxvk stopped working for Borderlands 2 and TPS.
Played with it flawless the last weeks. Now the game doesn‘t even launch and i get a fatal error popup with „missing file“ and something like „debug code 0==0“.
Can‘t describe it accurately because i‘m not at my pc right now. As soon as i delete the dxvk files the game starts. Reinstalling the games doesn‘t help.

win11
Rtx4090
Current release driver
Tried Dxvk version 2.3 , 2.4 and 2.4.1

That does not sound like a DXVK problem at all. It sounds like the game broke in general regardless of DXVK.

Win11, rtx4080laptop, steam version
Everything works, game runs smooth, no crash, no stutter

suggesting verify game file integrity first.

No idea tbh

Seems introduced by some overlay software.
Uninstall Geforce Experience (and NVIDIA app), uninstall RTSS, disable steam overlay, and try again.

@c00r5F Check the health of your hdd/ssd/nvme storages, just to make sure they're not the problem.

And in what case should be this the problem, when i never changed anything from one day to another? The game worked fine with dxvk for months.

Hard drive is fine, any other game is working fine and how can it be the hard drive, if the games work fine without dxvk, but natively with dx9 it‘s running as it‘s supposed to be.

Don‘t take anything peronal here, but i‘m confused how that could be with only the implementation of dxvk in those games

Some overlay softwares contain self-update feature and may update in the background without notification. You haven't seen any change, but the environment does changed due to these softwares. For example, Google never asks you to approve update of Chrome, but you should be using latest Chrome now.
Double check whether you have installed these softwares:

  • NVIDIA app & GeForce experience
  • RTSS
  • Overwolf
  • OBS
  • SteelSeries GG

If installed, try uninstall them all and test again.
Although in most cases these software should work fine, but in some rare conditions there are conflicts.

disabling nvidia overlay didn't help. it's the only overlay i'm running.

Then i have no idea.
Can you have another clean installation copy of Windows? There may be some environment conflict for your current installation.

I'm running borderlands 2 with nvidia overlay enabled, with rtss enabled, with wallpaper engine in background, and with rainmeter in background, rtx 4070ti, dxvk 2.4.1 and latest nvidia driver, no issues, win10 x64

BBlisto91 2025-07-06 github

@c00r5F Is this still an issue?

Cc00r5F 2025-07-07 github

Not anymore BUT there are like 9 months between the times i tried again. Updated to the newest release, got myself new hardware, so installed a fresh OS. Could be anything tbh…

Nothing extracted yet.
