Rdr2 has a vulkan and d3d12 renderer, neither of which can run on DXVK. If you are using the d3d12 renderer, you can report it on the vkd3d-proton github instead. There is only DXVK log output because it's DXGI is used, but that's not involved in rendering.
As was mentioned, DXVK isn't involved here, and based on the log I somehow doubt that vkd3d-proton is involved as well given that our DXGI isn't being loaded.
No idea what the screenshot is about either, the full-res version doesn't even load because that image hoster seems to be running actual 56k modems, but based on the low-res version that took 10 minutes to load it just looks perfectly normal. Keep in mind that it's still a game.
vulkan-1.dllx1 2026-01
Hello! The game runs perfectly fine for me, but there's a strange rendering issue on some shadows in the distance. When I move closer to them it goes away. It's not noticeable everywhere all the time, but sometimes it's very obvious like in the screenshot below. Changing the shadow quality setting didn't make a difference.
Thanks and feel free to delete if not important. I just wanted to report it and see if anyone else has the same issue.
