\nDarksiders II runs much better with DXVK implemented. There are still some graphical flickering in the sky, but its not a “game breaker”. I was able to play on my GeForce GTX 1060 with great frame rates and no other noticable issues. Previously when I played Darksiders a few years ago, I played through the entire game with a few annoying graphical bugs. But those are now gone and it runs beautifully.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
