I think your problem is that (as far as i know) the Geforce 600 series doesn’t support feature level 11_1, only 11_0.

DXVK exposes Feature Level 11_1 on these older GPUs. There’s a few weird Direct2D-related features that they can’t support properly, but DXVK does not support those either, and the game doesn’t need them. They could make this game work on FL11_0 hardware if they wanted to.

The funniest thing is she runs on Intel Graphics hd 530

How do you know his gf? lol In the next few days I will upgrade my graphics to 1050 TI to see if there is a change in the game for me or not, I hope it works because it cost me about $ 300

Any update? I see many other also have the same problem. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYVbm4prF9Y

Not yet no sorry. It doesn’t reproduce on my AMD GPU setup, and haven’t been able to try it on my GF’s Nvidia setup. Hopefully this weekend.

Ah okay yes i see it works for some people and for others not. Looking at the nexus mods comments where you also posted.

I will see if I’m able to reproduce.

@Blisto91 I know its not supporting feature level 11.1, that’s why I’m using dxvk to fix that problem. I’ve seen many people on youtube that running this game with the exact graphic cards using dxvk, I don’t know why it’s not working with me. Windows 10 pro x64

I tried a fresh windows install but still it’s not working 😦
