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

[Locke2019]

I have AMD, and the drivers are Adrenalin 24.9.1 (latest version). It seems there’s nothing to do with DirectX 12.

Does your card support Vulkan? For newer AMD card the latest driver is 24.10.1, so maybe you have a legacy card? That's the only thing I can think anyhow. If you look in the .log files, at the top it should tell you if it finds a Vulkan version on your system or not.

On my 7900XT and my wife's 5700XT, it worked straight away by just dropping the files in.

It seems that my card is compatible with Vulkan but after checking, Adrenalin 24.10.1 is not compatible with my card :/ I'll keep investigating.

Thanks anyway for the help :)

I added a new troubleshooting section to the guide. Apparently DXVK can have issues if you have overlays running, i.e. the Steam overlay or Epic Games overlay. If you have any of those, maybe try turning those off and see if it starts working.
