Symptoms

Game works but has weird window behavior and the game does not exit gracefully.

Reproduction

With DXVK:
Launching the game there is first a splash screen window, and then you see that the game has launched but minimized. Trying to bring up the game it just captures the mouse pointer but does not bring up the screen. Using keyboard shortcuts and alt+tab was able to get control over the mouse pointer and able to move the game to a different workspace. Then from that workspace it was possible to bring up the screen.

Played for a bit, and then tried to exit and the game keeps running with a black screen and had to switch to console to kill the process.

One other odd thing is that Cinnamon desktop window/application switcher does not capture the video of the window properly when using DXVK, see this screenshot:

It is all off center. This does not occur when launching the game with WineD3D11

With WineD3D11 launch option this happens:
Launching the game there is first a splash screen window, and you see that the game has launched but minimized and it has captured mouse input. Using keyboard shortcuts to switch back and forth between workplaces/applications I was able to bring up the game. Then at the main menu I tried to exit the game, and the game keeps running with a black screen, had to switch to console to kill the process.

Retest Compatibility Report

All the issues mentioned above still persist, except that the window/application switcher in cinnamon desktop now displays correctly (so that it does not look like on the screenshot above with the game off-screen).

I think the window/application switcher issue was probably a bug in Cinnamon desktop that was fixed in Mint 19.2

System Information

  • GPU: AMD RX 5700
  • Driver/LLVM version: Mesa 22.2.3
  • Kernel version: 6.0.12-300.fc37.x86_64
  • Proton version: proton-7.0-5

Re-tested game and everything seems to be working now. Game launches properly (not minimized). Switching between desktop/game works. Also game exits properly. (Using Plasma now though, some of the previous issues could have been problems with Cinnamon).

Closing this issue as I'm no longer seeing any issues :tada:
