DXVK "Failed to Initialize Renderer"

[Cheese Touch]

So my game crashes before startup when using any DXVK version with the "Initialize Renderer" message. I have all the updated drivers, redistributables, etc etc. My graphics card can work with DXVK/FNV. Using Windows 10 Pro. Thanks.

a quick internet search returned dozens of results, all similar fixes. Here are a few in no particular order.

-Power cycle your computer ..turn it off, and back on.

- "Restart" your computer, (not Shut Down).

- Delete your INI files, and then restart Steam and click Play to re-create new clean default INIs.

- check to make sure that none of your game folders are "read only".

I went onto page 4 of Google before that, nothing worked. This did not work aswell (as I have already tried all those solutions.) Thank you for your help though.

I would also check all the Permissions on all your other files related to the Renderer ..Video drivers and settings file for example, can't hurt to look.

I don't understand what you mean by "Permissions"

I don't understand what you mean by "Permissions"

"read-only" permissions, "Run as Admin" permissions ...in File Properties of your computer's files

Make sure your drivers are up to date. You may want to do a full, clean driver install. Maxwell Vulkan support is iffy at the best of times, and if you've had it for a while the nVidia drivers are terrible at updating Vulkan libraries.
