Thanks for letting us know. Unfortunately it appears I'm not allowed to access the forum thread you linked. Do you perhaps know if the issue only impacts Blackwell or if earlier architectures are affected as well?

Sorry, please try accessing this specific link.

Does dxvk 2.5.3 work?

Wonder if it's more swapchain breakage that somehow only trips up Windows drivers.

Unfortunately, version v2.5.3 is also crashing. The crash dump (.mdmp) file link is provided below (However, the error details should correspond to those in the .mdmp file I previously shared.):

Additionally, I've observed that since this driver version (including subsequent hotfixes), several Vulkan-based games are exhibiting new issues. For instance, enabling smooth motion while launching CS2 via Vulkan now triggers the error shown below. While the exact nature of NVIDIA's Vulkan driver changes remains unclear, the cascading compatibility problems appear systemic.

Vulkan encountered unrecoverable error VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST.

Hi, I tried launching GTA 4 in a desktop with a 5070 Ti and a laptop with a 2060, and the game crashes only with the 5070 Ti. Both system installed the latest nvidia driver 576.28.

Does dxvk 2.5.3 work?

Both 2.6.1 and 2.5.3 works with the 2060, but crashes with the 5070 Ti

Since it seems this is only affecting the 50 series, is it possible this is another deprecation of 32 bit support like we saw with CUDA/PhysX? Someone needs to get in contact with Nvidia and get to the bottom of this one.

crap, i can't play borderlands 2 without DXVX & PhysX

You can, but you need revert back to 572.83 or use Vulkan Beta Driver instead.
It's not DXVK's fault. But someone needs to tell NVIDIA that the latest driver broke DXVK on 50 series.

DXVK generally works fine on Nvidia 50 GPUs. No need to draw incorrect conclusions based on a single case.

It's not like CUDA/PhysX at all.

i can confirm i got the same issue, 5090 with driver 576.28, and i installed my 4090 on the same system, no issue at all

dxvk version 2.4.1 or below works though, any version above = instant crash, so its something related to dxvk 2.5 i believe

and same again, rolling back the driver to 572.xx can fix everything, but its not an ideal solution

its mostly likely that the 576.xx drivers along with blackwell gpus break something introduced in dxvk 2.5

5090 + 576.xx drivers = need dxvk 2.41 or below (or every game crashes)
5090 + 572.xx drivers = no no issue at all
4090 + whatever driver = no no issue at all

So maybe git bisect would be a good idea.

I was having the same issue with my 5080... as a stopgap, I made a patch for the driver component that causes the CTD, maybe it helps someone until there's an official fix

maybe worked, no crash but application freeze

Yes issue confirmed with Turtlewow also, rolling back to 576.83 is the only way i have managed to make it work.
Do Nvidia do this crap on purpose? I have wondered.

The crash on 32-bit Windows DXVK when running on Blackwell devices has been fixed internally and a future driver release will include the fix.

That's because 590.10 is based on an older branch before this issue appeared (576.)

Do you have a link for a 5070 rtx card, will this still work?

Developer Driver 573.52 from 1st of July 2025 in combination with DXVK Ver. 2.7 fixed the crash on 32-bit Games for me.

WoW 3.3.5a (x32) + RTX 5070ti (576.88 driver) still get crashes

There is an another Fix that worked for me, even with the latest WHQL Game Ready Drivers (576.88).
Just install the Driver regurarly and then Run this tool: https://github.com/SimonMacer/AnWave/releases/tag/NvPresent64ForRTX40.

This tool says it's compatible with drivers 572.16 and newer. I ran it with 576.80. It didn't work, still crashing with DXVK in 32 bit games. You can confirm it works on 576.88?

finally nvidia fix this crash in 580.88WHQL

Can confirm that the new 580.88 Game Ready driver solves this issue, at least on my 5070.

Yes confirmed on my RTX 5070 also, finally :)

I also confirm, but in 580.97! No more issues on my RTX 5090. 😄

Hey, this is still happening for my 5070TI on driver version 581.42 for Left4Dead2. The previous patches someone made fixed it, but now they don't :(.
