I'm trying to run The Last of Us Part 1 on a GTX 1050 with 4GB VRAM. With some performance tweaking it works around 25fps on a i7 7th/16GB and it fits 100% into the VRAM, but it crash consistently on a specific cutscene early on the game (Joel comes home and infected neighbor tries to break the window): image freezes permanently but audio still runs normally in the background including the ambient sound after the cutscene.

I get several of the following error on wine log before the crashing:

fixme:vkd3d-proton:d3d12_command_list_init_copy_texture_region: Destination depth-stencil format 0x14 is not supported for STENCIL dst copy with render pass fallback.

Immediately on crashing, in dmesg I get the following error, presented a single time with no other error:
NVRM: Xid (PCI:0000:01:00): 69, pid=30624, name=tlou-i.exe, Class Error: ChId 00a5, Class 0000c197, Offset 00002388, Data 410ad01a, ErrorCode 00000004

It seems Xid 69 is related to driver or hardware problem. I discard hardware problem since I'm currently playing several heavy d3d12 games with no problem (gotham knights, death stranding, etc). I've run a memtest it also seems ok. I've tried several versions of NVIDIA driver, most important are

• 525.47.24 (with the latest vulkan 1.3 updates)
• 530.41.03 (latest beta driver)

After crashing wine logs:

I've tried both vkd3d -proton 2.8 release and the bleeding edge version (commit ff665a3) with several video drivers versions. None of them solved the problem. Earlier vkd3d-proton won't launch the game.

Some of Wine versions I've tried (among others):

• Glorious Eggroll-Proton 8.5
• TKG latest version from github's CI: valve
• TKG latest version from github's CI: arch

For running this game I have to set the following environment variable otherwise it won't work:
VKD3D_SHADER_MODEL=6_6

Other settings:

• amd_ags_x64.dll variable set to built-in.
• Wine staging options: "Enable VAAPI as backend for DXVA2 GPU decoding" enabled, and "CSMT" disabled (tried all combinations for the 2 with no effect).
• Tried with both DXVK NVAPI disabled and enabled with the latest git commit.
• Tried underclocking and overclocking GPU.
• Tried enabling and disabling fsync and esync.
• Using vm.max_map_count=2147483642.

I'm attaching the log file created by running the game from the checkpoint seconds before triggering the crashing cutscene (edited for content just before gets flooded by the mentioned errors).
