Assuming you have already read https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/wiki/Windows this is likely just a driver issue. On Linux with my AMD GPU i don't have any issues in the game even if i spoof a Intel GPU. I can also see on ProtonDB that at least one Intel Arc user have played it in the past.

I think you may be right. If I use an eGPU and point it at the Nvidia card, it works. Thanks for the insight!
