Hi there and thank you for the issue.
Can you check if adding d3d9.cachedDynamicBuffers = True to the dxvk.conf helps?

Edit:
I see this is being spammed quite a lot in the log

err:   Presenter: Failed to create Vulkan swapchain: VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_DEVICE_MEMORY

d3d9.cachedDynamicBuffers = True didn't help.

It has same results.

Is there any other thing I can try?

Can you post a screenshot looking at the area with the hud set to full ? Without any other configs besides hud applied.

is this even any better without dxvk? we can't do much if the game just decides to be slow.

The swapchain spam probably isn't helping either but it's not clear whether that happens during gameplay at all.

without dxvk, the game has horrible micro stutter.

But how does the average FPS compare to dxvk in the trouble area?

Edit: By that i mean does it have a similar large drop?

Average FPS is also lower than dxvk. and micro stutter happens on all maps.

The question is whether the frame rate also drops in that particular area without dxvk.

No, It doesn't drop like dxvk.

d3d9.allowDirectBufferMapping = False perhaps, although I wouldn't get my hopes up.

Sadly, it didn't work.
