The game (SteamDB record) now hangs immediately at the rendering of the menu screen, after the presentation videos. Here below the launch command I have used:

VKD3D_CONFIG=dxr11 PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 mangohud gamemoderun %command% -dx12

Tested Proton versions have been:

  • Proton Experimental (Steam shipped release)
  • Proton GE 6.21-2

and both of them present the same outcome.

Last time I tested was with the older NVIDIA Driver 470.63.01 and it was working perfectly. I don't know if it is actually related to the update of the NVIDIA Driver to release 495.44.

Here is the full trace of vkd3d log.

Please let me know if I have to share more info about this case.

All the best,
Dave

This could be related to https://github.com/HansKristian-Work/vkd3d-proton/issues/915 where d61f562a3ec329f3c5fda9a43042a816ab824f45 and up added some new interfaces that are not fully supported when it comes to dxr11.

Possibly try to launch the game with VKD3D_CONFIG=dxr and see if it works then?

Tried right now with dxr, but got the same outcome. Here the vkd3d log.

I can also confirm that the issue persist if I leave just the VKD3D_CONFIG=dxr* option and clear all the other variables, and it disappears as soon as I delete the former.

Edit: updated the log file with the right trace

I can confirm that the crash is caused by the Nvidia Driver 495.44. Downgrading to release 470.63 solved it.
