Still crashing on startup

i'm not downgrading my drivers

[Taddy Mason]

i tried emailing the devs, they told me to reach out to the publisher. the publisher's support team is on vacation until aug 12. i also reached out to AMD about the issue, but they want me to do a bunch of troubleshooting and send them the logs/reports after. i'm not willing to do that for some random game i've never played and don't even know if i will like. i also reported it to Steam for being a broken game cause this issue has been going on since June and not only has nothing been done to fix it, but there hasn't even been any mention of plans to address it. i recommend just reporting it for being a broken game. maybe that will light a fire under someone's butt to fix it.

i doubt it. the issue has been known about by the players since june. just look here on the forums and you can see people reporting the issue as far back as june 30th it seems. no way the support staff was on vacation this long. am i to believe i'm the first person to reach out to anyone about this issue? surely someone's reported it to either the devs, the publisher, or AMD before i came along this past week and bought this game i can't play.

I contacted Focus support and they told me they will contact the devs to resolve the issue.

"Thank you for contacting Focus Entertainment. We are sorry to hear you are experiencing problems with Greedfall. Your report has been forwarded to the Production Team for investigation. Please note that there is no guarantee that the developer will be able to release a fix. Otherwise, there is a possibility that AMD will fix this problem in future drivers".

I had same problem and solved it by by putting the dxvk vulkan renderer files (x64) into the main game folder:
https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/releases/download/v2.4/dxvk-2.4.tar.gz

Yo! Just wanted to come back to this and say big ups to this person, this actually worked for me. I just got the game a few days ago and wanted to try it out but I've only crashed immediately on startup every time. I've heard of DXVK recently when the latest set of AMD drivers broke Fallout NV and Fallout 3.

Anyway I am an AMD GPU user and am on driver 24.6.1. I used the following "how to" on how to use DXVK. This game is DX11 and 64bit. I just downloaded the folder from github, downloaded 7zip to extract it, and added the dxd11 DLL file and the dxgi DLL file to the same folder as Greedfall exe, and for the first time the game booted beyond the initial 'Focus' splash screen.

Any one else on Steam Deck here? Game isn't crashing but it isn't showing anything other than a black screen either. Tried P@wel's fix but it doesn't seem to work for me.
