Hi. This is not a issue, only a doubt.
I've tried to run BattleField V, and this games asks for a nvidia driver version that only exists on Windows. Its possible to override the Driver version reported to the game? I'm using Nvidia proprietary driver, version 396.54.
Thanks!

DXVK does not report the driver version to the application, it must be queried in some other way (nvapi?) - not something I can fix, sadly.

Thank you for your great job!

May be fake AMD card helps? It may cut nvapi path with Nvidia driver detect.

@lieff can you point me some doc about this approach?

@lieff Thanks, it works. After some crashs with the Origin Client, the game runs!

@EduFrazao mind make issue about spoof AMD card for BattleField V, so for other users it will work out-of-box.

There has been some discussion going on about reporting Nvidia cards as AMD cards by default, and I'm starting to think that it's better than adding exceptions for all these games.
