Scribblenauts Unlimited crashes before displaying a window - the classic "hit play, Steam says it's playing, Steam changes its mind" issue.

While this does happen on one computer, it doesn't happen on another I have. Both computers are running up-to-date Manjaro; the biggest difference between the two is that the working one has an NVidia card and the broken one has an AMD card.

It looks like the main problem is this repeated spam of shader compilation errors:

527.206:0188:018c:fixme:d3dcompiler:D3DCompile2 Ignoring flags 0x101.
527.206:0188:018c:err:d3dcompiler:D3DCompile2 Failed to compile shader, vkd3d result -4.

There's three separate errors, each of which show up multiple times; I've included one copy of each. Each one does have that fixme: ignoring flags prefix.

I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this further; I'm happy to test stuff or even rig up custom builds, please let me know what I can do to assist.

D3DCompile2 is for the HLSL to DXBC compilation step, and that's not handled by vkd3d-proton. You should report that to wine instead. In the meantime, it'll probably work if you install native d3dcompiler_47 with winetricks.

Oops! Sorry for the misfiled bug, I'll go send that off to the right people and give d3dcompiler_47 a try :) Thank you!

Updates for anyone who sees this in the future:

  • d3dcompiler_47 works great, I installed it via protontricks to make my life a little easier.
  • The Wine bug report guide kinda scared me off of reporting since I'm running it through Proton.
  • https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/378 fix reported here, though!

(Also dropped a note on protondb, though it's not public yet.)

If you're reading this, I hope this solves https://xkcd.com/979/ for you :)
