Refresh Proton prefix can help.

RRyhon0 2020-03-20 github

I've removed the prefix and ran the game again and I keep getting this error when alt-tabbing

Bburaksrc 2020-03-20 github

Might be related to GNOME shell. I can safely Alt+Tab while in KDE Plasma. Your GPU driver is kinda old, you may try to update it also.

  • Try to play the game with a KDE Plasma session
  • Try to update your GPU drivers

No issue at all with XFCE4 (xubuntu 18.04.4), alt+tab works fine.

Manjaro 19.0.2 with GNOME (5.5.8-1-MANJARO)
GTX 1650 with proprietary 440.64 driver
Proton 5.04

The game will "launch" with the Bethesda intro animation and stay stuck on a black screen. No other errors/popups present themselves and have to alt-tab out of the game to kill it.

For me is working very well with GTX1050 2GB and 440.66.03 Vulkan Drivers

Arch Linux + XFCE

Lliberodark 2020-03-21 github

for me performance is very bad

RTX 2070 440.64
Manjaro + XFCE

OGL LOG:

Symptoms

Game runs, but stutters and lags when moving the mouse. I can confirm its completely related to the mouse, as using the arrow keys to turn, DOOM 64 does not stutter and freeze.

This is exactly what happens in Blood: Fresh Supply, they both use the KEX Engine.

Symptoms

Mice with high polling rates cause heavy fps drops when moving camera with mouse. This affects other "Kex engine" games as well such as BLOOD: FRESH SUPPLY (which I cannot file a report on due to me owning the gog version of that game and using third party tools to use proton with it)

Reproduction

Start a new game and use a high polling rate mouse to move camera

Similarly to the mouse issue, FPS also tanks if you use a gamepad like the Xbox one.

I tried both games and to make mouse working, I must be looking around for a while and making big circles on my mouse pad. I'm also changing speed so it catches up here and there. I found this while I was trying to find some working settings in game console and was testing those. It suddenly started working flawlessly. It works for Doom 64 and Blood: Fresh Supply as well. From that point, I can play as long as I wish. Only what differs is that mouse will freeze in center of the screen in menu so I must navigate menu using keyboard.

I can't explain that behavior. I tried both oldest and default Proton on Steam and both worked the same way.

Wine-4.0 I have installed from distro is working out of the box without issue, but I'm not getting Achievements. I will use Proton with a bit of mouse training at start of game session.

I see the mouse problem. For me it practically freezes when you move the mouse.
