Not Loading after latest update

[SurgeTheConcierge]

Hi All,
I only play Witcher3 with DX11 but after the latest update, when I load a save, immediately after the cutscreen it crashes. The game loads with DX12 but I have that dastardly black screen issue. All sound comes through, I can tap space and hear the gameplay but nothing on the screen.

What I've done so far for DX11 and DX12
-Running as admin
-Compatibility mode for windows 8
-full screen optimization is disabled
-Verified files
-Uninstalled and reinstalled Witcher3
-Reinstalled my OS from scratch
-Updated all drivers
-Disabled steam overlay

The game ran flawlessly on DX11 prior to the latest patch and I never bothered with DX12 since 11 was working. I can't run it in classic mode either because all my saves were made with a more updated version.

Any ideas?

if your gpu supports vulkan install DXVK and put d3d11.dll and dxgi.dll in the same location as the game exe it will force the game to use vulkan instead of directx11 this is the only way for now until this gets fixed

I suppose that explains why the crash doesn't happen with Proton - it's using DXVK AFAIK. I tried DXVK in Windows but it didn't appear to help.
