Steps

  1. Assuming you’re running the game via “the launcher”
  2. go to desktop mode (big picture mode doesn’t allow changing settings),
  3. run the launcher,
  4. go to General settings, scroll down to DXVK Version and download/choose the latest “Async” version from dropdown
  5. Close settings and launcher
  6. now you may go to steam big picture mode and run the game

If it doesn’t work go to Environment section and type DXVK_ASYNC=1 %command% into the first text form

Result

Before the changing dxvk version, game ran at 45 FPS on medium/low settings with frequent stutters dropping to 10 FPS at newly entered locations, now it runs at 55-60 FPS in the world and ~40 in crowded cities with no preloading drops in FPS.

FPS Before FPS After
10-45 on med/low 40-60 on med/high
