With DXVK 2.6.2 and DXVK 2.7 installed the game crashes every few minutes with generic exception code 0xc0000005. Most of the time the faulting module is nvoglv32.dll, but I have found at least one error in the event log which states that the faulting module is ucrtbase.dll.

Seems like simply applying the 4gb patch to mafia2.exe completely fixes that problem. It's worth mentioning that without dxvk, the game performance is abysmal but it doesn't crash with the unpatched exe.
