The initial menu loads correctly. The issue occurs when you start any mission — that is, when you actually begin playing the game. Showing this error:

0148:err:msvcrt:_wassert (L"!status && \"vkCreateGraphicsPipelines\"",L"../wine/dlls/winevulkan/loader_thunks.c",3594)

This doesn't happen with DXVK version 2.7.1 and WineD3D. This happens in both winex11 and winewayland. I tried doing a git bisect, but gave up because there are 323 commits between version 2.7.1 and the master branch, plus I got tired of constantly running git bisect skip due to build issues, like this error:

Can reproduce, here's a trace that can also be used to that end: https://drive.proton.me/urls/D4Y93K7YB8#eUzyNdlnaGIR

The issue goes away if I use d3d9.useDxbcSpirv = False, so it is a regression with the new shader compiler.

It was indeed fixed by that commit. Thank you!
