How to use DX11 without crashing

[Emma_Z]

So i stumbled uppon to this fix that lets you use dx11. I have a good pc but still some cpu bottleneck, i got a 20 fps boost in normal situations, and 10 fps boost in the more laggy parts, but most important the low 1% are more consistent and now i have easily 60+ fps at all times.
This is the video but its kinda a mess so i will explain what you have to do:

First: Do not clear any cache or delete any settings, is not necessary, ignore that part, just go to the end.

Second: Download this file "dxvk-2.3.tar.gz" from https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/releases
This is a fix that lets you use Vulkan

Third: this is important, otherwise your game will crash. Enter the game normally but put it in Windowed mode, save the settings and close it. Now the game should launch in a window.

Fourth: Put the files you downloaded, all of them, where the exe of the game is

Fifth: now you can put the famous command on steam launch options, because of the fix, the game will not crash using it. Command is: --use-d3d11

Finally: If you did everything now the game will launch and you could see the API is Vulkan, if you were cpu bounded you should get a fps boost. You can now change the display mode to Borderless Window, you can use Fullscreen but dont close the game before putting it again in Borderless window, because as i said the game cannot launch at dx11 in fullscreen, you will have to do all this again.

Thats it, hope it helps with those low 1% fps on missions.

If you need more FPS or you are in a GPU bound situation, check out this video:
