Based on the logs you've attached, it looks like dxvk is still trying to render, however the Vulkan driver is "telling" it there's nothing to render to. This usually indicates some sort of driver issue, but there's not much to go on here, I'm afraid.

Not seeing any issues with the game on Wine, as I've mentioned in the other issue.

Some sort of driver crash, would need a reliable way to actually reproduce this (outside of windows).

@Aztec2012 is this without any addons, mods or unofficial patches?
Have you checked the Windows section of the wiki? Especially the part talking about overlays.
Does it happen with older versions of dxvk? 1.10.3 or 2.2

Cant confirm this without any addons or patches. With older versions its happen too. But i figured that error appears when in game settings used 60 hz refresh rate insted of 100 hz like max monitor refresh rate. Then game loading normal. And gplasync versions of DXVK causes this error too when gplasync is enabled in ini.
