@elaymm4 visual treatment lags so hard When I put original or alt, it goes slow!

Is there a way to play with dxvk? Dx11 performance is just dreaful i drop to 40fps from 120fps when there are just 3 cars in front of me and game renders fog and rain.

I am unsure who is the one who made the NFS-ShaderLoader-MW asi file but if this is the right place then I would like to request linux compatibility. Its the one file preventing the game from starting on Proton 8 and I would really like to use this mod.
