Hey I installed all the releases from the latest to 1.8 but none seems to work. The game starts up fine without the d3d9 file but with the mod files in the folder nothing happens, just a loading cursor. I'm using a GTX 1650/ Ryzen 7 3750/ Driver version 591.59 (btw I have the super legit version which I 100% paid for with my money and it's the complete editon of the game) :))

This is the log if it helps:

Works fine on Windows 11 here too.

@frankgreenberg Make sure you don't have any overlays or software like MSI Afterburner running. Those are often buggy and break DXVK.

Nothing extracted yet.
