Most Recent Update Scrambled Launch Options (DXVK Missing Entirely)
Just booted Steam back up, and there was a small update for the game after "The Necro Update". When I click play, I now only have two launch options: Default (DX9), and DX9 + 11 as the second option, counter to what the "Post Necro Update" post claimed, where DX9 + 11 should be the default option. Most importantly, those are the only two launch options I have now. Vulkan (DXVK) is missing, both in the popup after pressing "Play," as well as going to properties and checking the launch options drop down menu. Has anyone else experienced this, and is there a launch command I can use to manually force DXVK without manually shifting dlls around? The DXVK d3d9.dll is still in the third party plugins folder, as well as its config file, and my bms d3d9 log shows DXVK running properly the last time I launched the game a couple days ago right after the major update.

Are you on the public beta?
Nope, I'm on the default release channel. Not the public beta, nor any of the interim beta builds. Right after the major update the other day, I had all three launch options with Vulkan as the default, which launched and worked flawlessly. After downloading the pending update today, which was about 60mb, I think (I honestly don't remember), the launch options are now as I described above. Legacy DX9 is listed as Default, with the second option as DX9 + 11.
Came here to say the same thing happen just now. DXVK disappeared only DX 9 and 11 available. Not on any beta.
Nevermind, patch notes were just released. DXVK has been disabled temporarily.
Beat me to it. However, I had no problem with the previous build, and found out that using the bms.exe from the april 15th update, and making a custom shortcut with the "-enabledxvk" argument works with all the files from the update yesterday. I assume the next update will be out before too long, but for anyone who wants to run the game with dxvk, use the steam console to download the previous version of the depot that contains the exe.

You can look it up on steamdb.info, but for convenience, the command and ids are:
download_depot 362890 362894 7924422780614122196

the "-enabledxvk" argument has been removed from the most recent update, so you need the previous exe for the argument to work and actually launch with vulkan.

If & when brought back if possible can you check it works on Win 7. It has never worked here.

Also "Sunshadow Quality" max settings not sticking, It's one bar lower almost at max.

Apart from this, game runs fine, no other issues.

Windows 7
