Game crashes in recent proton versions due to nvngx_dlss.dll on Nvidia

disabling nvapi through PROTON_DISABLE_NVAPI=1 allows the game to run

It appears that DLSS 2.0, which this game ships, is affected by some weird incompatibility with an nvapi function implemented some time ago to support newer versions of DLSS (NvAPI_GetLogicalGPUFromPhysicalGPU). You should be able to work around it either by replacing the DLL with newer version (2.1+) or by exporting DXVK_NVAPI_DISABLE_ENTRYPOINTS=NvAPI_GetLogicalGPUFromPhysicalGPU, at least this way you won't lose DLSS completely.
