Resident Evil Village: Launching the game through the Vulkan API (on Windows 7 and Windows 8.1)

The method is very simple.
It is necessary to force the game to use a special Vkd3d layer, which will translate DirectX12 calls to the Vulkan API. This layer was created and is being created for use on Linux operating systems.. Developers write in plain text: “don't count, that Vkd3d will magically make games that require DirectX 12 work”.
Surprisingly it worked with Resident Evil Village.
But for Windows 7 it takes more “crutches”, than for Windows 8.1.

1. Download dxvk-1.8.1L.tar.gz c GitHub[github.com]. I used version 1.8.1L.
2. Open the downloaded archive dxvk-1.8.1L.tar.gz.
3. Copy the files from the x64 directory to the game directory.
4. We wait, when the black screen disappears. I have a game 3 minutes hanging on a black screen, then starts working.
5. Download and install Explorer Suite[ntcore.com].
6. Open re8demo.exe with “CFF EXplorer”.
7. Select "No" in the box with the text "This file is bigger than 40 MB».
8. Select "Import Directory" in the left pane.
9. Then select the module "mfplat.dll" from the list.
10. Double click on "MFCreateDXGIDeviceManager" and replace the value with "MFStartup".
11. Click the save button.
12. Start the game. If the game does not want to connect to the server, go to section “Connection problems on Windows 7”.
13. We wait, when the black screen disappears. I have a game 3 minutes hanging on a black screen, then starts working.
Watch the video, which shows all the necessary actions. Can be observed, that the game comes down to the gameplay:
On my windows config 8.1 x64, Palit Geforce 1050ti KalmX with driver 466.27.0.0 the game works without problems.

TLS support must be enabled 1.2 in system, otherwise there will be connection problems.
1. Open notepad and copy the code into it:
