Sounds like you're using Windows, which we can't really support since people always have setup-specific issues usually caused by bad driver installs or interactions with third-party software. The game itself runs fine with vkd3d-proton, I strongly doubt there is a bug here.

Yes , im on windows 10 and wanted to use vulkan api because the game stutters because of DX12

I can confirm the same behavior using wine 7.2 and Lutris on Ubuntu 21.10.
Edit: Steam proton show the same behavior albeit faster (the game crashes faster)

[HansKristian-Work]

The white screen occurs before d3d12 even loads, so I don't see how this can be a vkd3d-proton bug.
