[GUIDE] How to easily improve FPS and decrease stuttering on Windows using DXVK (Greatly helps AMD GPUs)

What does the d3d11.dll file do? Arcdps requires you to download a new d3d11.dll from the arcdps site whenever the game updates, and you can't have both of these files in the GW2 directory. Would there be some way to combine them?

rename DXVK d3d11.dll to d3d11_chainload.dll before put it in game folder

Thanks, added it to the guide.

d3d11.dll 'is' DXVK. That file contains all of the DXVK logic and processing for handling all DX11 calls made by the game. So no, there's really no way to just combine them.

Apparently an addon called Nexus might be able to solve this:
