I want to use VKD3D_DISABLE_EXTENSIONS=VK_EXT_mesh_shader on windows10/11 , is it possible to do it? If yes , how?

HHansKristian-Work maintainer 2023-10-30 github

it's just an environment variable. Steam does not support the env_var=1 %command% syntax on windows though. You'll have to set it from somewhere else.

KK0bin 2023-10-30 github

It's possible. Just set up the environment variable using the Windows environment variable settings.

Why would you want to disable mesh shaders though?

Iizyspania 2023-10-30 github

So i should just add VKD3D_DISABLE_EXTENSIONS=VK_EXT_mesh_shader there?
In Alan Wake 2 textures wont load on a Vega GPU:

KK0bin 2023-10-30 github

Vega doesn't support mesh shaders anyway. So VKD3D_DISABLE_EXTENSIONS=VK_EXT_mesh_shader will do nothing.

Alan Wake 2 doesn't work with vkd3d-Proton on Windows.

HHansKristian-Work maintainer 2023-10-30 github

Why are you using vkd3d-proton on Windows exactly? Vega is also below min-spec for the game anyways.

It works on NVIDA cards , it seems that on a 1070/1080TI can get up to 100% fps uplift.
It seems that on VEGA it tries to use mesh shaders anyway and thats why the texture are broken.

HHansKristian-Work maintainer 2023-10-30 github

It works on NVIDA cards , it seems that on a 1070/1080TI can get up to 100% fps uplift.

Pascal GPUs don't have mesh shaders either, so this is nonsensical.

Iizyspania 2023-10-30 github

Yes , but it works with them disabled but it seems that it doesnt want to disable them on Vega GPUs, i saw a topic here that says disabling them fixes the textures on AMD: https://github.com/HansKristian-Work/vkd3d-proton/issues/1754

It cannot enable something that isn't supported. If it tried to use mesh shaders on Vega, the game would simply crash.

i saw a topic here that disabling them fixes the textures on AMD: https://github.com/HansKristian-Work/vkd3d-proton/issues/1754

That only impacts the AMD driver on Linux and that driver bug has since been fixed.

So what can be the problem with missing textures on Windows then? Using DX12 seems to work , but very bad ofc using vkd3d also works but with broken textures on Vega GPUs and seems to work just fine on NVIDIA 10 series.

Edit: Nevermind , you can close it , it seems that in DX12 is still missing the textures on Vega, it was loading the normal DX12 all the time , seems that it just doesnt even start with vkd3d on Vega.

So what can be the problem with missing textures on Windows then

AMD's vulkan driver being broken, as usual. Only few games work correctly with vkd3d-proton on the AMD windows vulkan driver.

Yeah , it makes sense now, it seems to work with GTX 10 series from Nvidia on Windows but it doesnt work with RX 5000 series/

Those logs contain nothing out of the ordinary.
vkd3d-Proton does not support Windows.
vkd3d-Proton does not support the AMD Windows driver.
Alan Wake 2 is known to not work on Windows with vkd3d-Proton because of shared fences.

Seems to work with Adrenalin 23.9.1 driver.

RRareMv 2023-10-31 github

OP, given the game seems to reach even 60 fps on 5700 XT on Linux, as opposed to Window's ~30, you'd be better of trying it on Linux.

Polaris GCN4 seems to be absolutely DOA on this game, but Vega reaches ~17 fps on 1080p Low, FSR2 Quality? You'd probably reach 30 on Linux, maybe with a more agresive upscale. You should give it a shot.

VKD3D doesn't really work on AMD GPUs on Windows, as opposed to Nvidia, for some reason.

Is it possible to disable EXTENSIONS on Windows?
