The game is unplayable for me it stutters in some places so searched for a solution and i found dxvk so i searched for a specific version for my pc and it was v1.10.3 version also my vulkan version is 1.2.170 so after i installed it i transferred d3d9 x32bit to game folder and i press play on steam and now the game won't starts anymore so what is issue here ?

You left out most of the issue template?

  • OS?
  • GPU?
  • Driver version?
  • DXVK log file?

I tested GTA IV a few days ago and it worked perfectly fine.

it was v1.10.3 version also my vulkan version is 1.2.170

DXVK requires Vulkan 1.3 and we obviously don't support 3 year old DXVK versions.

If you're stuck with Vulkan 1.2 due to driver/hardware limitations, a safer bet these days would be to try out: https://github.com/pythonlover02/DXVK-Sarek. As K0bin said, we don't provide support for ancient versions of dxvk, it has to be something reasonably recent.
