Main Section

To get it working on windows 7 you must
1.Download dxvk Version 1.10.2 from the following website
https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/releases
2. You must then extract the dxvk-1.10.2.tar.gz file using a zip program like winzip,winrar,Peazip
after that you must then also unzip the file dxvk-1.10.2.tar file using the same program.When that is finished you should have these files

Inside this folder should be the following files

3.Inside the x64 folder is the files we need

So the next step is to select all these files and copy them to the following directory
To get there right click on stray then select properties
Select Local Files and then Browse
You should then be in the following folder
You must then go to the Hk_project project folder next into Binaries folder and then finaly the Win64 folder
4.Now take the files mentioned in Step three and copy them to this folder and the folder should look like this

And that is it go to your Steam and launch the game and it should work

To all the windows people, dxvk is a linux tool that translates directx api calls to vulkan
it works in conjunction with wine (Wine Is Not an Emulator) to run directx/windows games on linux without losing performance
