DXVK 1.7.1 was released a few minutes ago as the first update since May. While the version number isn't significant, this version does have many changes.

DXVK 1.7.1 adds VK_EXT_4444_formats support as one of the extensions designed to help DXVK, VK_EXT_extended_dynamic_state is now used for handling out-of-bounds vertex buffer access behavior correctly, minor performance improvements, support for the GeForce Now app with DXVK, and a wide variety of game specific fixes.
