Fix crashes with Vulkan v1.0
Replace Direct3D rendering with Vulkan to fix crashes with Windows 11 24H2.
After updating Windows 11 to latest 24H2 Outlaws started crashing after some minutes to some seconds depending on location. It got completely unusable.
Some frantic googling took me to this Reddit Post with a solution: replace the Direct3D rendering with Vulkan rendering, bypassing the buggy code which crashes with the new Windows version.
The Vulkan rendering is implemented by two open source projects:
vkd3d-proton by HansKristian-Work
dxvk by doitsujin
For Outlaws special versions are required as mentioned in the Reddit post. I have just collected these here.
Installation:
Go to the Outlaws root directory
rename d3d12core.dll
copy the DLLs from the mod into the root directory.
This fixes the crash issue for me, just played for several hours without problems.
