DXVK 1.10.2 is the last planned release prior to raising the Vulkan API requirements for DXVK, such as mandating dynamic rendering support and other new features. DXVK 1.10.2 has a variety of general bug fixes as well as a number of game specific fixes for titles like Day Z, DiRT Rally, Myst V, Star Wars: The Force Unleshed II, Sonic Adventure 2, and numerous other games.
