Try installing these with winetricks or protontricks:

d3dcompiler_42
d3dcompiler_43
d3dcompiler_47
d3dx9
d3dx10_43
d3dx10
d3dx11_42

I prefer not to have to install actual Microsoft dll’s on my computer. Here’s a little tidbit that answers some questions.

That's your problem and not a DXVK issue.

[shoober420]

Why do other DX11 games work but CoP doesn’t? Isn’t the end result here to run games without any need for Microsoft dll’s? How is this invalid?

[doitsujin]

It is invalid because the DLLs in question are not and have never been part of DXVK, but wine, and the wine implementation just doesn't work for them (yet). The workaround is to use the Microsoft DLLs.

FYI many games ship Microsoft's d3dcompiler DLLs by default so you're probably using them anyway for those games.

Ok, I understand now. Thank you for explaining. I will wait on proper support when Wine implements those features and/or install those d3dcompilers via protontricks.
