[@PhobosAnomaly14]

Thanks, works fine with my AMD GPU now

[@sirajly747]

For me the game start norml but in loading screen it stuck in
100% and the game freez

[@Masta_E]

Would you please make a quick video on what you mean by changing a config file with root? I cannot find these in the files. Thank you!

[@xpander69]

nothing to change. but you just create file named dxvk.conf into the Xdefiant root directory where Xdefiant.exe is and add dxgi.customVendorId = 1002 into it. Played 3 matches in a row without issue like that.

[@jugalkishore839]

How to get those cool overlays with system info?

[@xpander69]

its called mangohud.. and if you want GUI to configure it its called Goverlay

[@ralphmiranda2077]

Is this available on Steam? Good video

[@xpander69]

No sadly. Its on Ubisoft Connect

[@Priest-]

Can you give a full video of you doing the settings and stuff in Heroic? I'm kinda slow lmao

[@xpander69]

Sorry i don't use heroic. Used Lutris. the steps are described. One thing that can fail is winetricks pdh.. depending on the winetricks version. In that case you can download pdh.dll (64-bit)from the interwebs (ofc be warned of potential security risks with downloading dlls) and then drop that into the XDefiant directory and setting pdh as n somewhere in heroic if it has that option or use WINEDLLOVERRIDES="pdh=n"

[@erpaxo]

how do you make it work? for me crashes all time :(

[@xpander69]

info in the video description

[@kljba]

Solution for AMD GPU low fps?

[@xpander69]

same as on nvidia and enable nvapi for whatever wierd reason, at least one other person with AMD GPU said that it fixed the fps for him.
try DXVK_NVAPI_ALLOW_OTHER_DRIVERS=1

[@zuza6562]

Are you that bad at FPS or is the M4A1 such a bad rifle?

[@xpander69]

probably i am bad.. but who knows.. this game is new to me and i never played any call of duty games either which this is similar to.. so i guess have to get used to the recoil and things.
