Dxvk: The Witcher 3 crashes when using nvidia 450.66
I tried installing the latest nvidia driver 450.66, but it randomly crashes when I play The Witcher 3 while the previous driver 440.100 works perfectly, but the 450 driver has a way better performance. It also feezes the game sometimes when I adjust sound/brightness and gnome OSD shows up.
In the changelog of the 450.66 driver, there's this thing Fixed triple buffering support of Vulkan X11 swapchains when applications are syncing to vblank. Could it be the cause of the issue since I had no problems on previous versions?
Sadly there's nothing shown in dxvk, wine or system logs when it freezes/crashes.
Software information
The Witcher 3, ultra settings, 1920x1080 on Ubuntu 20.04.
System information
- GPU: Nvidia RTX 2070 Super
- Driver: 450.66
- Wine version: 5.7
- DXVK version: 1.7.1L

* DXVK version: 1.7.1L
Does this mean you're using the latest dev build? I've had similar issues with The Witcher 3 ever since switching to the 450 Nvidia driver branch (including on 450.57), but I haven't seen crashes since 16a51f3 . Then again I haven't played all that much lately. Going back to 440.100 also makes it rock solid again (no crashes) regardless of the DXVK version you use, as you've also noted.

I tried to compile master, but I get the following error :

The driver 440.100 worked perfectly yea, but there's a performance bump by ~15 fps with 450.66, so I'd like to use this one.
The 1.7.1L is how lutris named it, but I also tried with 743f309 and it still crashes.

743f309 precedes 16a51f3, so I'm not too surprised you still get crashes. You also don't have to compile master yourself, since you can usually find relatively new builds here.

I managed to compile master, and it seems stable. I played for like 15 minutes but there wasn't a single crash. I'll try longer sessions to test it but so far it seems that it's fixed.

Should 41a49a9c do the job?

Yes, pretty much anything that comes after 16a51f3 should be fine, including 41a49a9.
