    don't ask me but it can happen on some circuits, while on others i already got 60 to 75 fps, now performances dramatically improved

    but still, keep in mind i'm actually using linux, so things may differ...

    @AlleyViper I had already read your question before you removed it :D The way we are doing the launch option is to have two 64bit folders, one normal, one with the DXVK .dlls. So you can still do whatever you want on the normal one :)

    Thank you! I removed that post, so not to bother with something that would answer itself after release. :)

    Regarding manual usage of later versions of DXVK, the last I'm able to run on a 6700XT (on current 24.10.1 drivers) is 2.4.1.
    Both 2.5 (2.5 should be bugged, no AF in dx9) and current 2.5.1 fail on launch/splash screen, unable to create device. Haven't found a workaround yet.

    A small update: The situation didn't improve with the latest 2.5.2 on current 24.12.1 drivers, now it'll spew another error: Clipboard_12-29-2024_01.png
    (so I'm back to 2.4.1)

    is dvxk planned to be upgraded ? There are just some small artefacts on some wall textures, like at Interlagos.
    With dx9 I have constant stutter micro-freezes, with dvxk it's 100% smooth.

    Another update to the above, the newest 2.5.3 dxvk d3d9.dll runs fine again on my system + 24.12.1 on a 6700XT, unlike the previous 2.5.x versions that would prevent R3E to start.

    (Since 2.5.x exclusive FS has been forcefully disabled, so you might with to check the notes on how to enable it back with a single line on your dxvk.conf file: "dxvk.allowFse = True", if you require it for VRR to work)

    Why is there an openvr_api.dll in the Vulkan directory?
