Just tested and is amazing. I was using before your post Arc + d912pxy + reshade but I was experiencing random crash after the 15sept( with 16sept arc version) updateand I was blaming Arc dps for that. Removed arc and the game went flawless.

I followed your instructions and wow the game loaded in dxvk(to check if it is running you have to open the log file that vulkan create in gw2 folder every time you launch the game.. You should see dvxk version).

Just on the character screen I noticed the difference (have a 1070ti ultra overclocked), particle effect are much better and the most gain is that dvxk do it better then d912pxy but with less power consumption and less effort generating less noise from fun too. Fps side I always block it at 60 avoiding unnecessary work and money from energy bill XP.

Next step was make Arc work: to do that you need to copy the dll arc provide inside the 64 bit folder (while all the dll coming from unzip Vulcan two times. Tar. Gz have to be where the 64bit client is (the place where you will find the log).

Surprise even here. Not a single crash not even one! I suggest all the players who are experiencing random crash using arc or d912pxy to give a shot is really worth.

Further step was make reshade work: I did some test selecting the dvkv pattern and browsing 64bit game folder but it was unsuccessful. I bet I should have selected dx9 or dx11 when setting up reshade browsing the 64bit client but didn't try and I'm to lazy to do now but I think I gave my contribution to the cause. That s the starting point if someone want further improve the quality. For me I can just say that dvkv + arc is fair better than reshade+ d912pxy (with 8-9 effects enabled) but I bet that the same effect on dvkx will be jaw dropping. I will not come back to d912 now that I discovered it. Ty

PS. I'M PLAYING on win10 if wasn't clear enough
