just tried running on manjaro linux + proton 5.0, my gfx card is 1080 (not TI)
the game does not run, it's just a black box
gonna try on proton 5.13 now

after clicking "sign up" the console shows
2020-12-10 01:38:47.575 [Information][ (0)] [TID 768][red-launcher]: Skipping sending event 'view_focused' because it's disabled (view 'login').
and this happens

not sure if it's linux specific

I managed to succesfully go into the main menu on Proton 5.13.4, redownloading the game now to play in Polish :D

Any luck with changing the PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU env variable?

Radeon RX 5600XT, Proton 5.13-4, Manjaro, linux 5.9.12

On 5.21-GE the game has artifacts.

With mesa-git 21.0(compiled 1 hour ago) proton 5.13-4 and rx 470:

• after mesa-git steam shows only black pages
• I'm able to start Cyberpunk 2077 launcher through taskbar.
• game starts, shows CD PROJECT RED logo, music plays, then black screens and then it crashes my GPU drivers, because all screens show wierd rainbow lines.
  Log from steam-native(arch linux):
  cyberpunk_2077.log
  Doesn't really look like much, seems like mesa bug.

EDIT: Normal mesa from repo 20.3.4 does exactly the same. At least steam works properly.

Just tried the game for a few minutes. Seems to work fine on Arch + Radeon VII. Had to install mesa-git and vulkan-radeon-git. Before that, ingame screen and characters in character creation were all completely black.

Performance could be better tho, but still able to play with 60FPS.

I was able to play through for 30 minutes or so, on 5.13-4 Proton, Nvidia driver 455.45.01, Ubuntu 20.04 with kernel 5.4.0-56-generic. I had to drop the settings to low to get a reasonable framerate, but I'm also on a GTX980M so that's not really surprising.

If you're on NVidia and getting a black screen, try dropping the settings some.

I was also able to play briefly before I needed to step away, Fedora 33, Proton Experimental

kernel 5.9.12-200.fc33.x86
2070 super driver version: 455.45.01
mesa 20.2.3

framerate was around 30 fps but everything maxed, will report back later with more detail.

Getting crashes after about 30 minutes of play +-. Journal shows the following, someone mentioned might be related to VRAM? Will check.

There I don't have the invisible skin issue, I did not find any issue beside the fact the game does not detect my low end specs and tend to choose the High graphic level, have to tune it to low or so to have a better performance.

I did not installed mesa-git, just all updated from the Arch repo

Bump, running Manjaro Linux, Proton 5.13-4 and latest mesa drivers (5700XT), running into Artifacting crash after launching game from launcher.

Same problem, same drivers, same card, only difference is I'm on base Arch not Manjaro.

I'm stuck on "Preparing to launch..." with my 6800XT and mesa-git, can't even get in-game.

Anyone having audio issues? I get static noise that can be fixed with PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60 but I can't hear gunshots, club music nor NPCs talking.

• All models are black on the character creation screen
• Game begins with all overlay (text choices, minimap) working but completely black / dark rendering. Everything is mired in black / darkness.

attempted to use proton-experimental, no change.

attempted to use all low video settings, no change.

attempted to use all ultra video settings, no change.

attempted to try different vsync, no change.

Read above someone else had this issue too but they run Arch and grabbed mesa-git and vulkan-radeon-git both of which isn't available on Debian without manual intervention which I don't want to do.

There are two alternative drivers, amdpro and amdvlk that can be used, will report back on results after switching.

I can boot the game and walk around. Some issues are that I can't hear npcs and it shows controller icons only, even though I am using the keyboard to move. 20fps on low graphics settings.

I'm in game and playing, hasn't crashed yet. No invisible/blacked out models issues or artifacting. Though horrible FPS at any graphics setting. About to test in windows for comparison, though I've heard it's just as bad. So probably needs Dev updates.

@cabal19421 I see same behavior in pop_os 20.10, running kernel 5.9.10 and proton 5.13-4. Using a 5700xt.

I cannot hear any NPC conversations. The problems with black textures were solved by installing mesa-git. Performance seems to be good, but I have only played for a few minutes.

iWeaker4you's advice works, game runs with the 455 driver. One thing I noticed is that the game freezes for me when my VRAM usage hits 100%, so I just put my textures setting to low

As with others (with nvidia), game runs but poor performance. Audio crackling, adding PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=40 helped. Missing audio, especially in the club scene (voices + music). Sometimes when I start the game the launcher just shows a black box and does nothing, retrying usually works. I have had several hard freezes that I have to SIGKILL to recover from.

• Game doesn't open. After I click the "play" button on the CDPR launcher, I get a black box, then the CDPR logo appears for a few seconds. After that, the game goes fullscreen and it seems like my video bufffer overflows. I get pink lines all over my screen and the video driver crashes. Maybe the game is identifying my RX580 as something else and over-allocating the VRAM?
  

Here's the log:

I'm essentially having the same problem as @fatino described

I also tested with mesa 20.3.0-3, and the same thing happens

Spent a little bit of time over lunch looking into this as I have some time next week to commit to it.

Having some issues with a black screen after character creation, and this is the root cause. By turning everything to low I was able to limit VRAM usage below what is available and I can now get the game running between 20 and 40FPS. Keep in mind I'm temporarily using a 1650S.

I noticed is that the game freezes for me when my VRAM usage hits 100%

Seems the game doesn't understand the GPU I'm using and tries to over-allocate, and this actually makes a bit of sense with a couple of other titles I've seen before.

Better use Experimental package on Debian than installing Nvidia drivers through a PPA (https://packages.debian.org/fr/experimental/nvidia-driver).

Performance seems pretty good and about what I'd expect on Windows.

5700XT, mesa-git, Proton 5.13-4, Arch. I get around 35-50 FPS on high at 1440p. I'm also experiencing lack of NPC voices and missing music in the club in the opener.

I installed Mesa 21.0 and Proton 5.13-4, running Arch Linux and a 5700xt.

Game launches, but after the first splash screen my GPU crashes and hard locks on some beautiful artifacts, similar to what @RafaelAmauri and @fatino are reporting.

Edit: Adding journalctl log
journalctl.log

Is anybody else not hearing any radio music while in vehicles / in the bedroom? I'm using Proton Experimental, although the same thing happened in 5.13-4.

There's a couple of known sound issues by now:

• No enemy gunshot sounds
• No car radio
• No background NPC dialogue

Can people still getting a GPU hang on the initial menu despite running AMD + mesa-git paste the output of the 'vulkaninfo' command? (vulkan-tools package on Arch)

worked fine for me off my GTX 960 After upgrading the nvidia driver from 450 to 455 and putting the graphics on the lowest possible. I haven't played far enough in the game to confirm that Plagman said for sound issues. Most likely same here though.

@Plagman here is the output of vulkaninfo
vulkaninfo.txt

@Skivet You need to at least remove amdvlk, as it's causing your hang issue. I'm not sure how to remove llvmpipe but you probably want to do that as well.

@Skivet Try removing vulkan-mesa in addition to amdvlk. vulkaninfo should only show one device, like this:

plagman@redcore:~/src/mesa$ vulkaninfo 2>/dev/null| grep deviceID
deviceID       = 0x731f

vulkaninfo.txt
I removed vulkan-mesa and amdvlk, I'll try launching again.

➜  ~ vulkaninfo 2>/dev/null| grep deviceID
        deviceID       = 0x731f

and just like that, it runs! Thanks @Plagman!

Hey! I did this and the game now works! I can confirm I'm no longer getting the pink artifacts on my screen.

Seems like amdvlk was indeed in the way of mesa-git. Thanks, @Plagman !

Mesa 21 Git + Proton Experimental on Arch. Seems to be running well!

HUGE thanks and congratulations to everyone involved on getting this achievement. Cyberpunk 2077 on Linux on Day1. Who would even imagine this a few years ago!

Now I'm just curious about the performance hit... Hoping someday we get the Vulkan renderer option on PC...

using glorious eggroll 5.21 launcher crashes open crash window then game launches ... potentially a feature.

fps is fine on a 1050Ti on any setting, untill i finish character creation.

the loading happens i hear water, then i lock up screen looking at my hands

no issues with textures during char gen tried several options graphically fullscreen, windowed, fake full, vsync, and high low and medium graphic settings which may render an extra frame or two

arch atm, using nvidia and vulkan... all current arch repo double checked as of this post

other proton versions tested were GE 5.09 , 5.13 and down the list some yet i see 5.13 req

cant get past launcher with 1660ti driver ver. 455.38, kernel 5.9.13-xanmod2 Pop_OS 20.10. I also tried rolling back to xanmod lts and generic ubuntu lts kernelsl with no joy on 5.21GE, 5.09GE, 5.13-4, and experimental proton.

One thing I noticed is my ppa is not allowing me to update to nvidia driver 455.45.01.

> sudo apt install nvidia-driver-455 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done nvidia-driver-455 is already the newest version (455.38-1pop0~1605144088~20.10~3cf77da). 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Is 455.45.01 required? Most everyone I see on here is using that.

EDIT: 455.45.01 may support the 16xx series but not the mobile chips which is what I use (except for the 1650 for some reason)

Is 455.45.01 required?

I had nothing but black screens until I upgraded to 455 series

I'm having a few annoying issues with controllers. If using the steam controller as a mouse for the window environment, when the launcher starts the mouse cursor will freeze, forcing you to turn on and off the controller, sometimes several times until you press the play button. When using XB1 wireless controller, sometimes when returning in-game from a hard freeze, the right controller stick axis will be stuck in a certain direction not allowing you to look, I found that turning my steam controller on and looking around will unstick the look, not sure if this is 100% workaround, otherwise I was forced to exit and relaunch the game, sometimes running into the same issue multiple times.

I've been experiencing hard application freezes throughout the time I've played on NV 4.55, when it freezes I'm forced to send a signal 9 to stop it. The kernel log appears to be throwing this error each time it happens:

NVRM: Xid (PCI:0000:02:00): 31, pid=35035, Ch 0000003e, intr 10000000. MMU Fault: ENGINE GRAPHICS GPCCLIENT_T1_9 faulted @ 0x1_80730000. Fault is of type FAULT_PTE ACCESS_TYPE_READ

Running the game on NVIDIA is currently known to crash the GPU. It's currently only stable on AMD Mesa drivers that support the VK_VALVE_mutable_descriptor_type extension.

looks to be working out the box with proton 5.13-4 and Mesa-git.
the only thing having any issues is I am missing the music from radios and stuff.

Anyone have any suggestions?

I spoke too soon. Game crashes a lot even at lowest graphical settings and HDD slow mode turned on. (and yes I'm on the 455 driver) :(

Ok will await driver update.

Also I don't know if this is one of the known audio issues but when I went to a bar in the game where npcs were dancing there was no music. Could be a bug with the actual game though not sure.

Wondering if there is a way to run the game direct bypassing the launcher?

EDIT:
I got it running on my 5700xt ubuntu 20.04 using these steps from comments (particularly @slapin) further down:

• Build and install mesa-git
• Switch game to use proton-experimental (although 5.13-4 is probably fine)
• Deleting steamapps/compatdata/1091500 (this forced something to rebuild)
• Not sure it's needed but set my launch options to: WINEDLLOVERRIDES="xaudio2_7=n,b" PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=90 %command% --launcher-skip
• Forced off Steam controller configuration (although I want to re-enable it somehow for mapping) to use my xbox one controller.

Ambient sounds are missing but so far it all looks and plays fine.

Managed to hack together mesa-git on my Debian system and get it running... I'm having the same NPC/Radio audio problem that everyone else is having, using Proton 5.13-4. Other than that, everything else seems to work. Graphics are a little weird and grainy but that's probably just a thing in the game.

@Kron4ek what did you do to make it work? Lutris script or did you launch the GOG install directly from Steam?

Debian Testing; I downloaded the official mesa-git through git, apt source'd the mesa sources and copied over the debian/ dir to the real git clone. dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc -us and got some packages made. I do not recommend doing it this way, I did it because I was impatient. Your Mesa packages will be locally-made and thus apt will try to upgrade them to the official repository copies. dpkg-buildpackage does not change the version, so it will be "20.2.3" even though it's Mesa 21 code. Hopefully someone will chime in with a better method because I sure as hell am not an expert. Best way to tell if it works is by running vulkaninfo | grep VK_VALVE_mutable_descriptor_type to see if it appears.

NPC/Radio problems tho' as others stated

I think this might be a bug in the game. I'm perusing the Steam community forums and others have said they are having the same issue on Windows, but something about plugging in headphones or using speakers fixes the problem. Obviously, on Linux we have Pulseaudio which is a whole other ball of wax. I'm guessing the same problem is manifesting but we're not able to come up with a similar fix with the way audio devices are reported. Of course, we shouldn't stop looking for a fix. Anyway, here's some links to Steam discussions:

Oh, and if you open your scanner (tab), NPC audio works, albeit distorted from the scanner's effect.

what did you do to make it work? Lutris script or did you launch the GOG install directly from Steam?

I used self-compiled Proton 5.13-4 build and ran the game exe directly with Proton's wine binary:

proton-5.13-4/bin/wine Cyberpunk2077.exe

And i installed vkd3d-proton-git to prefix before that.

You're using a Radeon graphics card, I assume?

@plockator Yes, Radeon RX 560.

Hi all,

Ubuntu 20.04 + Vega Frontier Edition 16GB & latest mesa-git via PPA: https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/ubuntu/graphics-drivers

Added PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=30 to fix crackled audio.

I was able to customize my character and start the game. In the garage setting up your car, there's severe graphical corruption of stretched out quads/triangles over the screen so not too playable especially when you go outside. Framerate seemed ok 30-45fps feels like, it has a bit of latency to it but maybe that's normal? It's on default settings of 'high'.

I went back into the game to screenshot the glitch, but now it works fine! No idea but I'm happy :+1:

It didn't run on proton 5.13-4 but I tested Proton 5.21-GE-1 and it runs. Missing some audio as others have noted (Enemy gunfire, Radio, etc.) and the lighting flickers constantly but overall the game is playable.

Edit: I wasn't on the latest of the latest mesa-git. After being on the most recent mesa-git everything works properly now.

I have black characters during character creation. Have not went into the game since I need this fixed first.

I am on the latest mesa-git and latest proton. Tried lowering graphics and stuff but no success. AMD 5700 XT. Kernel 5.9.13.

@Skivet Try removing vulkan-mesa in addition to amdvlk. vulkaninfo should only show one device, like this:

plagman@redcore:~/src/mesa$ vulkaninfo 2>/dev/null| grep deviceID
deviceID       = 0x731f

I love you, thanks!!! Removed amdvlk and it works.

hmm the kernel part is mostly what im interested in after reading this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/pop_os/comments/kabd59/cyberpunk_works/

apparently 455.45.01 ISN'T neccessary.. and they installed mesa on a nvidia system which is weird but at this point i'm willing to try it to get this dang game to work

apparently 455.45.01 ISN'T neccessary.. and they installed mesa on a nvidia system which is weird but at this point i'm willing to try it to get this dang game to work

Yeah I feel the same. So mesa isn't required when using Nvidia graphics card?

no its for amd gpus. it seems sketchy to install it on a nvidia system so i'd like to test kernels first. gonna try using 5.1.8 by itself first (even though he said 5.18?) and then try with mesa from pop os repo if that fails. hopefully nothing breaks.

Keep us posted!

kernel 5.1.8 alone did not work. going to try to install mesa. not really quite sure how he went about this though...

Do you really think he meant 5.1.8? That'd be a really old kernel, no?

Regarding the audio issues, this seems to be the Windows fix: https://www.naguide.com/cyberpunk-2077-how-to-fix-audio-issues/ (in case anyone knows what the equivalent for us would be)

Do you really think he meant 5.1.8? That'd be a really old kernel, no?

thats what i thought too. i asked him that in the reddit thread as well. kinda just guessing until he clarifies..

while i can't get the game to proceed after the launcher it no longer crashes immediately with mesa installed from ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers. doesn't seem to be conflicting with nvidia though. gonna try out a few more kernels and see what happens.

For cracking sound problem, here the fix.

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="xaudio2_7=n,b" PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=90 %command%

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="xaudio2_7=n,b" PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=90 %command%

No change here.

u managed to get it working with 450.80.02? interesting.. gonna try that out.

I think his suggestion only applies to the crackling issues, not the missing sound issues.

No luck using Kernel 5.8.18 and 450.80.02 ... :confused:

I'm on Ubuntu Bionic 18.04, and had to do the following to get Cyberpunk to launch with my Nvidia GTX 1660 on Steam:

• Use Proton 5.13-4
• Remove libgtk3-nocsd (and libgtk3-nocsd0:i386 to be safe) per https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/4278#issuecomment-715843927
• Upgrade kernel from 4.15.0-112-generic to 5.4.0-54-generic (installing all of linux-headers-5.4.0-54-generic, linux-image-5.4.0-54-generic, linux-modules-5.4.0-54-generic, and linux-modules-extra-5.4.0-54-generic so my keyboard&networking didn't break)
• Upgrade to the 455.45.01 Nvidia driver

I'm not sure if every step there is required, but that's what I've done so far. Hopefully that is of use to someone.

Whatever you do it will not work correctly on Nvidia cards, because of missing Vulkan extension. It will be with missing objects and allot of crashes if start at all, just don't try it is pointless.

Having problems even getting the launcher to open. It's weird since everyone else in my situation seems to be okay.

Using the built in proton 5.13.4 directly from steam client.

What I see:

Older versions of proton seem to be able to launch the launcher but the brand new version immediately exits. I can't find any error logs, no segfaults, just an instant close. Watching the process list shows the process start and immediately exit.

Does anyone have any suggestions to debug? I tried adding the env var to the launch config options in steam but only the old version of proton seems to get it to output anything

About ~60fps with rx 470 on 720p all low, anything higher it drops below 60fps. Not many visual bugs TBH.
Sound is what makes it kinda unplayable, you don't hear enemies at all, radio doesn't work and can't hear environmental NPCs.
You can only hear yourself and people you are talking to.
Also mesa-git broke my steam and all pages are black I'm only able to start Cyberpunk from taskbar.

Game works for me on Ubuntu 20.04 Kernel: 5.9.12-050912-generic Mesa 21.0.0-devel (git-3f0da80 2020-12-10 focal-oibaf-ppa) on Radeon RX 5700 XT. But there is a huge sound issue, missing almost all npc voices, music from radio, TV sound, shooting etc. And sadly in result this sound issue make game unplayable.

The sound issue seems to stem from some kinda surround sound mixing to stereo. People have been working around it by turning off spatial sound in Windows.

Works nearly flawlessly for me. ~40fps with default settings. I hear no radio or background NPC conversations, and the sound crackles. Otherwise it ran flawlessly out of the box.

@75AngryDucks The crackling could be fixed by using PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=90 as a launch option.
The missing sound has no fix as far as I know, but seems to be an issue for some on Windows as well, with known fixes.
So perhaps there is an equivalent fix we can do, but so far no one has found one as far as I'm aware.

When you say it works flawlessly otherwise, does the game not crash a lot? As far as I know it crashes every 5-20 minutes or so when using Nvidia, for everyone.

@albin-engstrom I'll try that next time I launch.
I've been playing for a little less than an hour, with no crashes. The only glitches are the sound issues.

When trying to run on Steam, the game doesn't even launch. I am using Proton 5.13-4 and have installed the latest Mesa from their repo https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/tree/master . When running vulcaninfo, I am seeing the following in stderr.

One of them is the latest RADV, the duplicate is an older RADV I am not sure how to get rid of, and the other one is llvmpipe. According to an earlier comment, there should only be one device here, but I am not sure how to fix that or if that is even the problem for me.

vulcaninfo.txt

I've been able to get 5 times to the splash/log/GOG account screen with Proton 5.13-4 and with Proton-Ge 5.9-GE-ST. But can't open the game it closes and it takes an eternity to open that screen (Not inside the game yet) and judging by the 69 min counted by Steam, it got stuck at background. With SteamPlay and no force version, it downloads and install VCRedist every time I open it.
I am on Fedora 33 Kernel 5.9.11 NVIDIA GTX 1050 with driver 455.45.01. I also try on kernel 5.9.11-fsync and 5.9.12 that just installed, but as I am not sure if it will be really playable on my config. As reference I am also not able to play Death Stranding (says that my GTX 1050 is not compatible) which was working kind of 1 1/2 or two before. To check I opened No Man's Sky, Alien Isolation, Homesick, they are working
I can't test too much longer to not lose the right to refund.

[Edit]
Tried Death Stranding again after trying CP2077 and is taking also a longer time than it should be and also journalctl -f keeps showing:

Even with the game and trying to open another game. MangoHud is not even enabled for it.

Ghostrunner Demo used to work very well, but is not and is also taking an extreme amount of time to open. I'll analyse further.

[Edit]
In the log, while trying Ghostrunner, there were some SELinux warnings/errors. I follow the own selinux warning advice and issued touch /.autorelabel and rebooted my machine (now kernel 5.9.12) and ran it with Proton 5.0-10, it ran with the defaults settings with no problems. After I changed to 5.13-4 and Experimental, both get stuck an it takes about 10min from I the time a click it to the time it closes itself.
In the log I catch this two lines showing the wrong version and after some SELinux blocking access to some files:

Proton: Upgrading prefix from 5.0-1 to 5.13-1 (/mnt/480GB/Games/steamapps/compatdata/1249200/)

Cyberpunk still taking an eternity trying to get to the signinh screen, which is not reached with 5.13-4 and is jut getting to the siging screen and crashing after clicking Play.

@75AngryDucks About an hour in the game world actually playing, or does that count character creation as well?
The character creation seems stable, it's in the game world the crashes happen.

Same on mine, however I think it's not a problem, x86-64 arch is fine to have that error, it's just that it probably bundles i386 libraries too for some reason

Crashes graphics with RX5700 and mesa-git after logo

As far as the PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=90, from what I know you want the latency just high enough to get rid of the crackling but as low as possible otherwise. I had 90%+ reduction at 40.

For anyone whom experiencing hanging at CDPR logo at the beginning:

At least on my end cause of the hang is usage Mangohud with mangohud %command instead of MANGOHUD=1 %command%

Launcher of the game seems to be using OpenGL which mangohud command shows up on it with saying it is on GL , with MANGOHUD=1 you only enable Vulkan layer which is what game needs anyway since it is on Vkd3d-proton.

I can repro this all the time on my end , might worth to give it a try.

@albin-engstrom 72 minutes total playtime now, probably more than an hour post-character creation. No crashes, only minor crackles and missing background music/conversations. I'm honestly really surprised it works this well for me running an NVIDIA day one.

EDIT: Just experienced my first freeze, triggered by activating a mirror.

In my case it simply crashes sometimes showing launcher window.

steam-1091500.log

Game works great for me (minus some graphical glitches). However when I start the mission "The Heist" and get in the car the game always crashes at some point during the journey.

I found some logs but not sure if they're the cause of the issue or if they're a sympton of the crash.

If anybody can suggest a good way to get decent logs out please let me know and I'll post them here.

OS: Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS x86_64

Game always crashes here:

Some more info on my case:

System:

• Arch Linux
  AMD 1700 @ 3.6Ghz
  AMD RX5700XT Undervolted @ 1900Mhz
  16 GB RAM
  Mesa GIT

1. The launcher well, launches, but I can't sign in from it.
2. I booted a Windows 10 with the game

On ultra with a minor tweak getting almost 60 FPS on Windows 10. Getting 54 FPS on Linux. (I would say it's impressive the performance we are getting for a DX12 title). BUT the framepacing is WAY WORSE. So this almost 60 FPS feel really choppy on Linux and quite nice on Windows.

I'm not complaining, just providing some info for people who may come here. Hoping this framepacing issues could get fixed though.

@75AngryDucks Okay, that is an unusually long time before a crash/freeze as far as I'm aware. But it may possibly be entirely down to luck, the crashes seem mostly random. Things that trigger it once might not the next time, and sometimes it happens without one doing anything specific.
It's close enough in time to likely be about the same level of stability all Nvidia users are dealing with.

Still stuck on the "Preparing to launch" window on my RX 6800XT, with nothing coming up, I saw someone being able to run it with my same config in the Arch forum but still no luck for me.

It's a shot in the dark, but maybe somebody could help me like the others. All I get is a black screen on launch.

When added as an external game from the Steam client it refuses to try and even launch the game. I have to fix the path besides setting the Proton version to 5.13-4 manually and it just doesn't even try to launch. Thus I compiled Proton myself and ran the wine executable manually. Others are mentioning they needed vkd3d-proton, but in my logs it shows I already have it, probably because I did --recurse-submodules while cloning.

Getting the same error as @dodgyville now which incidentally pops up here as well: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/4422

In my case it simply crashes sometimes showing launcher window.

For me it shows the launcher every time at least, but crashes when I try to actually play.

Has anyone come up with any adjustments to Pulseaudio configuration that fix the audio problems? I tried adjusting various options in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf with no success. Windows users are disabling Windows Spatial Sound settings to fix it. The game seems to want 7.1 surround sound but most people do not have this.

You can try the this launch option, seems to clear up the crackling (not sure if it'll help with the 7.1 tho): WINEDLLOVERRIDES="xaudio2_7=n,b" PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=90 %command%

Game runs and plays fine for me but it frequently freezes at different intervals and 4K (mostly) high performance on my 2080 Ti has been pretty garbage. Doing that keeps it around 30 frames.
Can get ~50FPS at 1440p but ONLY if I use a setting to reduce texture rending even further than that...

There is almost no audio crackling for me. I just want to hear the whole game. The game is so close to being playable.

@megatog615 As far as I know there is no known fix for the missing sound, but hopefully the fix for Windows can lead someone in the right direction to find something equivalent to do on Linux.

@megatog615

From above, I think that's a known issue that Valve are looking at

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/wiki/Changelog#513-4 notes that the game currently needs Proton 5.13-4 or newer and mesa git. That implies that Proton builds older than today will not work and there's more issues to be worked out between the game, vkd3d-proton, and the nVidia proprietary driver.

From @Plagman posted at [#4450 (comment)](https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/4450#issuecomment-742229069):

There's a couple of known sound issues by now:

    No enemy gunshot sounds
    No car radio
    No background NPC dialogue

I think I found the location in my syslog that's the reason for the crash ... a call to an unimplemented function, directly after the process for the game is created. Mayby someone with more experience could look into it? Maybe this helps some dev to debug the startup crashes?!
(the important stuff is at the beginning of the log, I think)

Edit: it could also be this error (also mentioned earlier in this issue):
Unhandled Exception: System.NotImplementedException: Managed.TextFormatting.FullTextLine.GetRunMetrics for MS.Internal.Text.TextSpanModifier

Same problem here, missing NPC voices, no noise from enemy gunshots. If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this, I'm willing to test pretty much anything!

Is there anyone who got it working on Ubuntu 20.04 and on Steam? For those that did, what are the exact steps you did to install the Mesa-git drivers?

I am still not able to launch the game from steam. It appears to crash as soon as it starts with no useful logs whatsoever. This was the same behavior ever since I upgraded to Proton 5.13-4. This behavior never changed when I tried using Proton experimental and when I installed the Mesa-git drivers. I just want to verify that I followed the right steps to install the right drivers.

For cracking sound problem, here the fix.

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="xaudio2_7=n,b" PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=90 %command%

Pulse latency solves cracking sound! yeeey! Still we need to wait for two things in my opinion;
1 - Ambient sounds working
2 - Better performance xD

Character creation and first level (nomad - garage) seems to somewhat work, but I was expecting a lot more from 2080ti (20-25 fps on high 4k). In other games first thing I disable is anti-aliasing (usually not needed on 4k), but I don't see any AA option in settings.

It's not possible to disable AA in Cyberpunk 2077? 😶

Same crash happens with AMDGPU-PRO

I'm running a 980ti and I see high beam usage. Till a point it fills up and the game crashes. I use low preset and the issue still persists.

Played almost 8hrs so far without a crash on Arch Linux with a Radeon VII and mesa-git drivers installed.
Thank you very much for your hard work on day 1 support for linux!
No idea, if this helps (for missing audio f.e) but maybe interesting anyway - the default executable REDprelauncher.exe
is 32bit and the actual game exe bin/x64/Cyberpunk2077.exe is 64bit. Starting directly the gameexe instead of the "launcher" seems to work fine.
Also tried to get the game to run in VR with Side-by-Side Depth3D Shader with ReShade - Reshade loads fine, but the Shader itself leads to corrupted gfx and seems to hang forever - maybe mesa-git related - so probably later.

Any clue what a line for the Launch Options would look like if I wanted to skip the launcher?

Tried running it 'directly' with STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH=./steamapps/compatdata/1091500 WINEPREFIX=./steamapps/compatdata/1091500/pfx ./steamapps/common/Proton\ 5.13/proton run ./steamapps/common/Cyberpunk\ 2077/bin/x64/Cyberpunk2077.exe - still the missing audio issue prevails

@frostworx did you do anything differently? keen to try

@kisak-valve I installed the mesa git drivers from the PPA kisak-mesa this time and verified with vulcaninfo 2> /dev/null | grep Mesa .

VK_LAYER_MESA_overlay (Mesa Overlay layer) Vulkan version 1.1.73, layer version 1:
driverInfo = Mesa 20.3.0 - kisak-mesa PPA (ACO)
driverInfo = Mesa 20.3.0 - kisak-mesa PPA (ACO)

I am still seeing the issue where the game won't even launch from steam. I don't know if this is related to the issue others are seeing where it crashes after the logo, as I don't even make it that far when running it on Steam.

It's not possible to disable AA in Cyberpunk 2077? no_mouth

No, it's not, see https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Cyberpunk_2077#Video

Haven't tested it yet, it was just an idea - maybe this could work in combination with installing xact or something similar.
To change the exe I used my steamtinkerlaunch

Where did you put the string and tried to run it "directly"? Would like to try to reproduce.

@plockator Just fire up a terminal

Change the command according to where your directory is. Default is ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/ if i'm not mistaken

@imrvelj

Thanks, didn't think it'd be that easy. But sadly it didn't help much. Game didn't start. Cyberpunk2077.exe was sleeping after several seconds.

Also tried running it directly, but still audio doesn't work.
If you curious you can add PROTON_DUMP_DEBUG_COMMANDS=1 %command% as launch option, run the game. In /tmp/proton_* there will be "run" script that you can modify. Change it, chmod +x it and run it.

What is your sound hardware?

If someone has a problem with Logitech mouse and keyboard not working in the initial menu - removing and inserting back the unified receiver in its USB fixes it.

I've been playing with building mesa from git instead of relying on a package, so I can keep the stable version for the rest of the system. For those who the launcher wont boot, make sure you have mesa for 32bits installed on your system. And if you are overriding VK_ICD_FILENAMES, include the JSON.

Kinda annoyed because of the sounds missing. Is there any issue tracker for this? I'm guessing on wine or maybe internally in the Proton team?

Collapsed, because long

Any luck running the game? I'm having the exact same issue and didn't find any fix yet...

Why are we overriding xaudio2_7?

As far as I know it's not necessary but someone suggested it and it caught on.

I might have found a way to work around, or at least improve upon, the frequent crashing on Nvidia.
I disabled Esync and Fsync, by adding these launch options PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 PROTON_NO_FSYNC=1

I had 5 crashes in my first hour of play, at most 15 minutes without one, with those disabled I've played another hour without any crashes. Could be sheer random chance, but it seems promising.

As far as I understand it, the crashes are due to the proprietary Nvidia driver not supporting this Vulkan extension yet: VK_VALVE_mutable_descriptor_type

I don't really understand what it does, but my (also limited) understanding of Esync and Fsync suggests that "mutable descriptor" might be related to them. So perhaps disabling them removes the situation where the extension is needed for avoiding the crash, that's mostly a guess though.

What I do know it that it seems to help, due to limited testing I say that somewhat tentatively.
I also didn't notice any notable performance decrease, but I wasn't paying close attention to that so there might have been a small one.

Skipping the launcher didn't fix the sound issues for me

I think that emulating 7.1 to stereo in pulseaudio would work, but I haven't found a way to do so.
It looks like the game is using spatial sound when it should output stereo. If windows users are having problems, we can hope for a patch from CDP RED or quick hack from valve/someone.

EDIT: If someone has 7.1 system working on Linux he could probably confirm that.

My understanding was that pulse audio already downmixes by default but I
could be wrong!

Any update on this?

Gentoo, NVIDIA Vulkan beta 455.46.02, Valve Proton 5.13-4, I'm seeing

[ 7011.736368] NVRM: Xid (PCI:0000:01:00): 31, pid=38362, Ch 0000004b, intr 00000000.
 MMU Fault: ENGINE GRAPHICS GPCCLIENT_T1_0 faulted @ 0x2_3d320000.
 Fault is of type FAULT_PTE ACCESS_TYPE_VIRT_READ

and then the game freezes. Performance with vsync on is quite laggy, vsync off with limited frame rate (below monitor refresh) works quite well without too much tearing.

Also, I usually need to launch the game twice: First try it launches and silently quits (or crashes), second try it usually works.

I hope we can get some better stability soon. Great work so far, game launched almost fine out of the box, no work-arounds needed.

@xioren I have played for about 30 minutes more without crashes, not enough to be certain but it solidifies it a bit.

Lot's of people seems to be able to solve sound issues in Windows following this guide:
https://steamah.com/cyberpunk-2077-how-to-fix-audio-issues/

I think that emulating 7.1 to stereo in pulseaudio would work, but I haven't found a way to do so.
It looks like the game is using spatial sound when it should output stereo. If windows users are having problems, we can hope for a patch from CDP RED or quick hack from valve/someone.

EDIT: If someone has 7.1 system working on Linux he could probably confirm that.

Well, didn't work. I managed to create virtual sink but no luck.

That's sad... think we will need to wait for CDPR to release the patch... Also, during this time i created a new character and this time started on the Corporation Path, and damn.... that is bug has hell... i saw lots of bugs that did not happen when i played as Nomad, there was NPC textures not loading(Elevator time), doors not opening and such... happen to anyone?

I haven't had much luck with a 1080ti, still appears to be crashing as frequent as before

@AnEthernetCable That's unfortunate, I now have about 1.5 hours of playtime without a single crash since disabling them.
Either I'm just lucky and will crash sooner or later, or there is something else that is also playing into it.

I'm using the 455.46.02 driver and a custom 5.9.13-98-tkg-pds kernel, I think those are the likeliest factors to matter if I'm not just having random luck.

@gcsillaz I had a few minor glitches like that as well, but I think it's not linux-specific (e.g. npc's clipping through elevator doors).

@fatino

Did you happen to mess around with "module-virtual-surround-sink" when you were creating the sink?

@fatino

Did you happen to mess around with "module-virtual-surround-sink" when you were creating the sink?

First I tried module-remap-sink. After you posted I tried module-virtual-surround-sink, but still doesnt work.
The difference is that in the first one I had to choose middle for either left or right. The second method evens out sound more. But still doesn't work for Cyberpunk

Anyone try Pulseaudio at 7.1(virtual or otherwise) with a graphical EQ running on each channel to see if there's anything coming out?

Unfortunately I've bought the retail version, which contained a GOG key and not a Steam key as expected. So I've installed it with latest lutris, but could not get it to work. I therefore added the game to Steam and use Proton 5.13-4 to run it. Mesa is from the oibaf ppa and I've compiled the latest vkd3d and installed it into the games prefix. So just you know where I come from.

Besides the audio issue pretty much everyone seems to have, it works really well on 1080p. All maxed out at 50-60fps, which is sufficient. I'm on an AMD RX5700XT and AMD 5900X btw. (System information)

But, in the second story quest with the fixer, the game now crashes always at the same spot - when you get out of the car and turn to the left street. If you don't look into the direction of the left street, all is fine. But as soon as you do, it will crash the computer - strange green artefacts, sometimes recovers to login screen, sometimes needs a forced reboot.
I can provide a save game, if anyone can use that to look into that.

Edit:
Here's the save game to reproduce the crash: AutoSave-0.zip. Turn right, turn left, park car. Follow your companion for a few steps, as soon as you turn to the left street, it will crash. :(

The game will reliably freeze for me after about 20-30 minutes of gameplay. I've tried a few launch options including PROTON_USE_WINED3D with no success. I think it's freezing during scene transitions.

OS: Arch Linux
GPU: Nvidia 1080Ti
Drivers: nvidia-dkms 455.45.01-01
Kernel: 5.9.13

@garrappachc @plockator I had the same issue as you. I installed wine-staging then moved my steamapps/compatdata/1091500 to a bkp and rerun the game.

I have my suspicions that the missing sound is any ambient sound, rather than just radio and npc conversations. Doors open completely silently, enemy guns don't make noise, no footsteps, etc. I don't know how much of that is new info, but I don't think it's just limited to the music and npc voicelines.

For those of you on Nvidia GPUs experiencing freezing & crashing, disabling "Allow Flipping" in the OpenGL Settings tab of nvidia-settings seems to have worked on my end.

Would running WINEPREFIX="/YourPathTo/steamapps/compatdata/1091500/pfx" WINEPATH="/YourPathTo/steamapps/common/Proton 5.13/dist/bin/wine64" winecfg

and then changing the sound settings from Stereo to 5.1 7.1 or any other setting there help anyone with the audio?

@jvetulani I just tried, but it made no difference, unfortunately.

This does not appear to have an impact for me, if anything creates more crashes.

I got the textures to load... I however crashed while trying to load in after character creation. Maybe my graphics card can't handle it? I'm running a RX Vega 64 (I know that is old) I fixed the black textures by doing the following on archlinux.
enabling the mesa-git repo and installing the following and the lib32 versions as well.
mesa-git, vulkan-mesa-layer-git, vulkan-radeon-git
Don't forget to reboot after installing everything.

The second time that I tried the game loaded. Must have been a fluke. I had to lower the graphics settings though even Medium settings are low FPS.

Anyone else have crackling audio issues?

Finally got my issues fixed by deleting steamapps/compatdata/1091500
Also got only one total freeze so far - when "looking into the mirror".

@slapin
ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? This worked and I have no idea why. THANK YOU!

I don't want to clog up the thread but omg that worked for me. It runs! Seems solid. Ambient sounds missing but subtitles are fine. Xbox One controller setup a little complicated. Well done everyone and thanks to wine/proton devs!

Game does not launch via Steam using an RX 570 with the AMDGPU-PRO 20.45 driver + Ryzen 1600AF with Proton 5.13-4 and oibaf Mesa PPA, using Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS.

[Hey y'all, I've got a bug that seems to be unique to my playthrough. I'm not able to pinpoint why it's happening, but essentially my game crashes during the Nomad playthrough after shaking hands with the Iguana on my shoulder and the cutscene is about to play. I can hear the audio going but it gets chopped up and the screen never turns from black. Eventually my graphics drivers die and I'm forced to restart my computer.

I've created a proton log for my game as well and the full text of it can be found here
steam-1091500.log

I really can't find anywhere else this bug has been duplicated, I don't think it's related to the avx issues because my CPU is supposed to have AVX instructions. BTW worth noting that I have mesa-git installed as well.

Edit: Some of the gems of this log that I can't find anything for on the internet are the following lines that seem to repeat infinitely

216:warn:d3d12_command_list_OMSetRenderTargets: RTV descriptor 1 is not initialized.

I thought it was a troll at first and with so many saying it worked I had to try it just to be sure. This did absolutely nothing but reset my options to defaults. Good thing I made a backup first.

Just tried the game for a few minutes. Seems to work fine on Arch + Radeon VII. Had to install mesa-git and vulkan-radeon-git. Before that, ingame screen and characters in character creation were all completely black.

Performance could be better tho, but still able to play with 60FPS.

Expanding on this, using Arch (kernel 5.9.13), I only had to install mesa-git to get the skin textures to load. I'll report back if this changes otherwise.

Reporting in with the same audio issues. mesa-git Void Linux. Had similar audio popping in Ghostrunner with DX12, likely unrelated since completely different engines.

Thanks for the tip, altough I don't know how to change vkd3d with protontricks.

There's a couple of known sound issues by now:

* No enemy gunshot sounds

* No car radio

* No background NPC dialogue

Can people still getting a GPU hang on the initial menu despite running AMD + mesa-git paste the output of the 'vulkaninfo' command? (vulkan-tools package on Arch)

These are the only issues I'm having.

What made the difference for me launching from Steam was changing my library over to Tools, finding the steam runtime soldier and changing the beta selection on that one to client_beta and restarting/reloading.

Running on RX 6800 XT with oibaf PPA, kernel 5.10, and Proton 5.13-4 @ 3440x1440 and getting "decent" framerates on high settings.

Only issue that I have had after a few hours of play is noticing that some sounds were not playing. Seems to be the case with others as well.

@fubarhouse Are you on Nvidia?

If so, then it's good to hear it works for someone else as well.
Then we have 2 people for which it seems to work around the crash issues, and 1 without any change.

So disabling them seems to do something, but there may be something else that is also a factor in the crashes.

@albin-engstrom yeah I'm using a 1650S at the moment...
I'm waiting on something bigger which should be here within the next week.

Would also be curious to know if anybody has dialog options cut off if they're too long - seems like an issue common to all RED Engine games - TW3 and CP2077 are definitely doing this - though it's not a deal-breaker.

This sounds like off topic but @fubarhouse can I know how much performance you're getting on 1650s? I seem to have some fps instability issue.

@fubarhouse Good to know. Thanks.
Hopefully some more people with Nvidia and crashing issues will test it, but with a sample size of 3 people and 2 it worked for it does seem like the chances are decent it will resolve the crashes for someone that has them.

Idk if this is normal, but my VRAM usage is really low. It's at 700 MB when using High / Medium settings and High texture quality. Maybe there's an issue with VRAM allocation that is causing all of this lag and stutter (by moving assets from the SSD and ram to VRAM)

@kaungmyatlwin it varies... it's playable most of the time but sometimes hardly.

Low detail, low preset, 1920x1080.

Examples...

• market town - ~20fps
• meeting dex - 2 - 10fps - this was agonizing...
• incident when heading back to the apartment - can't recall but it was bad... ~10fps maybe.
• when there's fewer people around - 20 - 40fps
• maelstrom mission - 20 - 40 fps.

On the whole it performs well enough to keep me happy for a few days, though I'll be doing another run with all the bells and whistles not before long.

If it helps, I'm using a Ryzen 3600 w/ Arch Linux and the latest kernel.

Thanks for the tip, altough I don't know how to change vkd3d with protontricks.

@nrobinson2000 I've successfully built vkd3d-proton from https://github.com/HansKristian-Work/vkd3d-proton and put the resulting d3d12.dll's in their respecting folder in the Cyberpunk 2077 prefix at 'steamapps/compatdata/1091500' but every time I try to run the game, my d3d12.dll's get overwritten and the wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0000000000008664 at address 000000007BC60FE0 still occurs. How could I fix that?

@plockator Steam's Proton already uses vkd3d-proton, more precisely 5.13-4 version uses vkd3d-proton built from this commit (which is new enough to run the game). And it sets Windows version to "Windows 10" by default.

but every time I try to run the game, my d3d12.dll's get overwritten

You can work around this by replacing d3d12.dll in steamapps/common/Proton 5.13/dist/lib64/wine/vkd3d-proton. But, most likely, your issue is not related to vkd3d.

@garrappachc @plockator I had the same issue as you. I installed wine-staging then moved my steamapps/compatdata/1091500 to a bkp and rerun the game.

Didn't do anything with wine, but removing that folder worked as a charm. The game runs smooth and stable, you're my savior, thanks!

no progress with sound problems?

@IDeathByte No, unfortunately, a bunch of various ideas have been tested by me and others but none that work so far.
Considering it's a game bug with a fix on Windows one would think there is something similar we could do, but who knows, perhaps not.
If we can't find a solution then hopefully the game gets patched to fix it soon.

@plockator I also had this exact same issue. If you look at the backtrace from winedbg you will see it is related to a call on ntdll.
I suspected that this library might be outdated in some way that cyberpunk is trying to call a function that is not there, or maybe is in other address.
I saw the same post you mention on phoronix and at first I also tried the vulkan-proton without success. After that I saw he was using wine-staging and I didn't had wine staging on my system, I had the stable version. So I try installing wine-staging without success.
Then I thought that recreating steamapps/compatdata/1091500 could work as it will recreate the wine structure. Glad it did.

I can't get the game to run at all, pressing play causes the steam 'preparing to launch box' to appear for a few seconds, then that disappears and a few seconds later steam stops recognising me as playing the game - I don't get any other window appearing.

I've got a Radeon VII and a Ryzen 7 2700 X. I've tried proton 5.13-4 and 5.21-GE-1 and both have the same result. I'm using latest oibaf drivers (Mesa 21.0.0-devel (git-574429f 2020-12-11 focal-oibaf-ppa)) and latest of Ubuntu 20.04.

I've tried a few of the fixes in here such as changing launch options and using the client-beta of the steam Linux runtime but none of them appear to have changed anything. Log is here:
steam-1091500.log

Anyone got any ideas

Edit: adding --launcher-skip after %command% allowed me to get to the main menu - haven't tested beyond this.

I saw the same post you mention on phoronix and at first I also tried the vulkan-proton without success. After that I saw he was using wine-staging and I didn't had wine staging on my system, I had the stable version. So I try installing wine-staging without success.
Then I thought that recreating steamapps/compatdata/1091500 could work as it will recreate the wine structure. Glad it did.

@lucmaga Thanks for getting back to me about this and happy it works for you now. I've already checked and I already have wine-staging installed, at least if I try to sudo apt install wine-staging I always get that it is already the latest version wine-staging (6.0~rc1~focal)., so it doesn't seem to help in my case. :confused:

And I already tried removing steamapps/compatdata/1091500 several times, but the error keeps persisting.

@plockator Have you tried changing the windows version to windows 10? I remember to do this also.
The guy from the phoronix post also did this.

Yes I did, that also didn't help. AND @Kron4ek mentioned that this wouldn't be needed in "our" environment, because the prefix for Cyberpunk already has Win10 set and it wouldn't change anything.

The game currently crashes after the first cutscene on CPUs without AVX instructions support, just info for those who have CPU without AVX, like i do. I guess the problem will be fixed in future versions of the game. But there is a fixed exe already (on nexusmods, for example), which you can use to avoid the crash.

@plockator one way to fix it is to disable DXVK entirely as it does not have anything to do with this game. You can do this by setting PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command% in the launch options.

A user called "KermitTheFroger" on the ProtonDB page seems to claim to have a fix for the missing audio.

The relevant parts of the report:

To get npc audio working, add "--launcher-skip" after %command% to skip the game launcher
Audio:Missing
Fixed by adding "--launcher-skip" after %command%

However, it does not work for me and I've seen several people have used that setting for other reasons and I have seen none say the audio works. That is the only person I've seen saying they've managed to fix it.

But if we assume the claim is true there might be another factor that along with that setting does fix the audio.

I'm going to redo some of my earlier failed attempted fixes with that setting now applied to see if it makes a difference.
But it would be good if others test it too.

@ruslang02 Thanks for the proposal, I tried it but to no avail, it still crashes with the same wine error.

--launcher-skip does not fix the missing audio issue, wouldn't make any sense anyway. Hopefully someone can reach out to that user and ask if they tweaked anything else that might explain how they got it working.

Yeah, it would indeed be odd if that would help. I'm mostly grasping at straws and that's the only indication of a working fix I've seen.

I wonder if they really did get it working or are mistaken somehow, and if it does work why they think that did it.

This thread is also about the missing audio, thought I'd share the link with you in case there are any updates in there

Yea, that's me. I should remove that post. Thought that it was working but it didn't...

EDIT: Created a new post with the correct info and linked to this issue. I wasn't able to remove the old post so this should be good enough 😄

Hey thanks for getting back to us, very unfortunate to hear that you didn't actually fix this :/

The game was not launching but this did it for me. To anyone out there seeing an error on the lines of
unable to read VR Path Registry

i tryed launch game by Steam runtime and native clients - no difference.
as i understand, problem have not all users. as i think difference can be in pulseaudio packages.

now i try change backend for prefix to alsa - no result

i just want to add that if i use pulseeffect i see this:

i only have 2.1 (2 channels) speakers. been looking into a way to force all channels to use only 2 but with no luck.
This is regarding the missing audio

OS: Linux / Arch

Driver/LLVM version: 455.45.01
Kernel version: 5.9.13-arch1-1
Proton version: Proton 5.13-4

RE: crashes, they seem to happen whenever the game would have to load up a bunch of new assets. For example when I'm out in the city if I stay in one small area, I'm good for an indefinite amount of time. If I travel more than about ~300 meters, it crashes reliably.

At one point while testing this last night I had a save and a destination about ~550m away marked and I crashed at almost exactly the same spot each time I tried to walk or drive toward that destination. Saving right before the area that I crashed in, then loading that save after the crash, allowed me to progress. So saving/loading frequently is a workaround, though not a great one.

I experienced similar problems traveling to other parts of the map, and once while opening up the inventory screen after gathering a bunch of loot from dead gangsters. I also got one crash between the conversation at the bar and the ensuing montage. After reloading the game the montage played (I guess it autosaved right before the montage).

I guess that something is going wrong with loading/unloading textures, LOD models, or something along those lines. None of the above tweaks impact the crashes. In any situation I can consistently reproduce them they happen no matter which changes are applied (I iterated through numerous combinations with the reliable crash above). I'd guess the reports of increased/decreased frequency with different settings are coincidental to player activity.

Re: missing audio, I fiddled with audio settings in pulse, winecfg to no avail. Also tried manually installing faudio, which did not help. There doesn't seem to be any way to reproduce the fix that windows users are applying from within wine or pulse.

I recall the Witcher 3 had a similar problem, and that it was fixed: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/articles/wine-222-is-out-with-input-improvements-xaudio-improvements-and-a-fix-for-the-witcher-3.10767

Can anyone confirm whether this problem recurs in Witcher 3 with latest proton by any chance? Maybe it's a regression?

Will fiddle more tonight after work/over the weekend and report back if I get any results.

I had similar experience - I was crashing almost on the same spot every time. After removing VSYNC completely, I managed to pass it and got much further on. Didn't have time to play more and see if this would completely remove crashes.

Disableing VSYINC completely doesn't help at my side.

tried switching to pipewire to see if that could fix this audio issue but im afraid it didnt work.

This means you have a 5.1 profile slected in pavucontrol->configuration and under output devices you picked a port for this profile which points to some different setup like headphones or front connectors only. I have a similar setup: 7.1 -> headphones

This is not a pulseaudio issue, pulseaudio does a downmix by default. The problem is somewhere in wine or the game.

thing is i didnt have a 5.1 profile selected. i had a 2.1 profile selected and it still said 6 channels on cyberpunk. but i were playing around with sound settings so it might have done something wierd.

Ping me when it successfully runs on RX5700

I get the same error as @devis350 on ubuntu 20.04 and ubuntu 20.10 with a 5700XT, Proton 5.13-4 and latest mesa-git, game won't start.

[0000000000000180:] EXCEPTION handling: System.NotImplementedException: Managed.TextFormatting.FullTextLine.GetRunMetrics for MS.Internal.Text.TextSpanModifier

Wondering if there is a way to run the game direct bypassing the launcher?

EDIT:
I got it running on my 5700xt ubuntu 20.04 using these steps from comments (particularly @slapin) further down:

* Build and install mesa-git

* Switch game to use proton-experimental (although 5.13-4 is probably fine)

* Deleting steamapps/compatdata/1091500  (this forced something to rebuild)

* Not sure it's needed but set my launch options to: WINEDLLOVERRIDES="xaudio2_7=n,b" PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=90 %command% --launcher-skip

* Forced off Steam controller configuration (although I want to re-enable it somehow for mapping) to use my xbox one controller.

Ambient sounds are missing but so far it all looks and plays fine.

Just wanted to confirm that blowing away the compatdata path worked well for me with my RX580 on Ubuntu 20.10 (with oibaf mesa drivers), after hitting this TextSpanModifier error. That seemed to be all I needed to do for the game to work. Proton 5.13-4 worked fine for me.

Thx for the pointers @dodgyville

Looking at the various fixes people have for Windows, it seems like the game might not handle some sample rates (one fix seems to be to force 96000, and the others seem to might change that by accident).

I don't think it is possible to change that in wine, but it might be possible to change the default in pulseaudio?

@xDShot It works on my 5700XT. Try mesa-git with the latest Proton 5.13-4

Game works great for me (minus some graphical glitches). However when I start the mission "The Heist" and get in the car the game always crashes at some point during the journey.

I found some logs but not sure if they're the cause of the issue or if they're a sympton of the crash.

If anybody can suggest a good way to get decent logs out please let me know and I'll post them here.

I'm experiencing a bug that causes the 3D rendering to go black in certain areas of the game. UI elements are still present and the game is "playable". Also, V's scanner still works and renders correctly, providing the only means to navigate other than using the minimap UI. Konpeki Plaza is one of the areas affected. It also happened somewhere in Watson and at Dez's place post-Konpeki Plaza mission.

@nrobinson2000 Heads up I progressed further after the intro and it came back

@sandsmark I've tried with different sample rates by changing /etc/pulseaudio/daemon.conf, sadly no improvements.

Did the same, but when running pacmd list-sink-inputs I see that cyberpunk2077.exe only has one connection, with sample spec: float32le 2ch 48000Hz. Might be that the samples for NPC voices etc. are in another format than the rest, and the playback therefore fails.

edit: has anyone unpacked the assets and checked the audio files? I'm assuming it's some wwise crap.

edit 2: wildly shooting from the hip, but since workarounds for Windows also seem to be related to number of channels, this kind of looks vaguely related (winepulse supports a maximum of 2 channels for a pcm stream, which sounds like the kind of sample playback that is missing): https://github.com/wine-mirror/wine/blob/master/dlls/winepulse.drv/mmdevdrv.c#L1936-L1938

edit 3: my cat stole my gaming chair, but another thing to test is to try to use the wine OSS output (using padsp) or ALSA one, I don't think they have the same limitations.

I am stuck at this mission. It always crashes (sooner or later on the journey). I don't know how (and I don't prefeer) to change the proton version by myself, so I hope it will be a new version soon (hope very very soon) to solve that.

@sandsmark found this while googling: https://github.com/rfuzzo/CP77Tools
Apparently, it's used to extract the .archive files that are used in the game

This is interesting becaues floating-point samples on > 2 channels was the cause of the audio bugs in witcher 3. But maybe a red herring.

Re: wwise, don't we have wwise support in Faudio? Isn't it built in to recent wine releases? :thinking:

@stuffinator just not starting?

RX6800 with mesa-git and Proton 5.13-4 starts and runs FPS very similar to Windows. Unfortunatly quite a few sound cues are missing.

@xDShot what mesa version are you using? Do you have amdvlk installed? try adding this to the launch options: VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/radeon_icd.i686.json:/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/radeon_icd.x86_64.json

@xDShot It works on my 5700XT. Try mesa-git with the latest Proton 5.13-4

@ErikReider Not working for me with 5700 XT, mesa-git and latest Proton. :(

Do you have amdvlk installed? I removed it and now it works like a charm, besides the missing sounds...

Tried solving the missing audio by changing to OSS/Alsa (results in no sound in the game), by plugging in my 5.1 speakers, by installing xact and xact_64 into the prefix, by adding an override for xaudio2_7, nothing helped there.

I just completed the entire escape/combat sequence from Konpeki Plaza using the optical scanner. :laughing: The glitch seems to be over for now.

Might be that the samples for NPC voices etc. are in another format than the rest, and the playback therefore fails.

Not trying to throw you off or anything, but if you hold tab(enter scanner mode) and talk to people you can hear what they say.

True, I didn't realize that. Very dim compared to the other sounds, but still audible.

Problem solved by removing amdvlk package, then why VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/radeon_icd.x86_64.json:/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/radeon_icd.i686.json doesn't work

@stuffinator try to do what @kisak-valve said: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/4450#issuecomment-743380229

Update re: nvidia drivers - while messing with it over lunch I found that upgrading from 455.45.01 -> 455.46.02 reduced the crashing problems. The places where I would have reliably crashed under .45 now cause horrendous stutter instead. It still crashes eventually, but I seem to be able to drive around the initial district without too many problems.

Upgrading on arch was not easy - the nvidia-vulkan packages in AUR kept spitting errors, so I used the official installer from nvidia instead. Which entailed manually removing all nvidia-* packages and then installing from terminal in single-user mode. This might be a problem specific to me. I had a lot of old cruft in there.

Hopefully this helps others a little. Still recommend saving frequently.

@nphyx Where did you get Version 455.46.02? I can't find it here: http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/

thx @bundyo I'll give it a shot

Man with all the reports of people getting it to run, there seems to be a quirk in my system I think. Guess I'll have to wait and hope for the announced Patch 1.04 to work for me finally. :confused:

@kisak-valve

Instead, please add PROTON_LOG=1 %command% to the game's launch options and attach the generated $HOME/steam-$APPID.log to this issue report as a file. (Proton logs compress well if needed.) Also, please copy your system information from Steam (Steam -> Help -> System Information) and put it in a gist, then include a link to the gist in this issue report.

Would it help if I did that too, for my issue?

@stuffinator What launch options are you running with?

I installed the ubuntu nvidia 455.45.01 drivers (running pop os) with no real change. Still stuck after launcher. Essentially I have the same issue as @stuffinator

Giving up for now. :(

I followed the steps here to compile and install 20.3 and I'd like to try it out to see if it will get me over the hump.

It's essentially the most up to date version of mesa which isn't 100% stable

A new update has been released for cyberpunk, downloading now, will report if anything has changed

Hi udev, what distro are you running? If you're running an arch-based derivative like Arch Linux or Manjaro then the command yay -S mesa-git lib32-mesa-git should get you going after it compiles for an hour. Make sure to say yes to everything these two packages remove, as long as you're doing it through yay you're safe.

Haven't tried it myself but should do the trick 😄

(Sorry if off topic at this point. Just trying to figure out how to install mesa-git to see if it helps with textures not properly loading)

@ErikReider thanks for that one. Is the meson build process not the most current? I'm new at this 🙃

@kisak-valve Thank you. I was not aware of the salsa bits. I actually cloned and built using meson from the 20.3 and staging/20.3 branches. That repo appears to mirror the freedesktop repo. I'll do some more investigation. Appreciate your help.

Just downloaded the 1.04 hotpatch and still seeing the same issue during "The Heist" mission in the car on the way to the hotel.

Flip disabled, vsync/gsync disabled.

Still get this issue: NVRM: Xid (PCI:0000:01:00): 31, pid=15243, Ch 0000004e, intr 00000000. MMU Fault: ENGINE GRAPHICS GPCCLIENT_T1_6 faulted @ 0x2_a6ba0000. Fault is of type FAULT_PDE ACCESS_TYPE_VIRT_READ

I did find this thread relating to the issue on Nvidia's forums https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/will-the-fault-pde-access-type-read-bug-in-the-nvidia-driver-ever-be-fixed/79362 which says it's on their internal bug tracker as 2432712.

Perhaps somebody at Valve could enquire about the issue and see if there is any sort of offical response? <3

Hello @typeitout, maybe these lines from your log are a hint:

948:info:vkd3d_get_vk_version: vkd3d-proton - applicationVersion: 2.0.0.
948:info:vkd3d_instance_init: vkd3d-proton - build: e2185df7de871cd.
INTEL-MESA: warning: Performance support disabled, consider sysctl dev.i915.perf_stream_paranoid=0
[...]
948:err:vkd3d_bindless_state_init: Insufficient descriptor indexing support.

Blind guess that the game is trying to run off the Intel chipset instead of the nVidia chipset. Maybe try temporarily disabling mesa/ANV with something like sudo mv /usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/intel_icd.x86_64.json /usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/intel_icd.x86_64.json.disabled and see if it has an effect. (ValveSoftware/steam-runtime#312)

Thanks @kisak-valve, I was able to boot the game. This fixed the problem. I had similar issues on 5.13 (before 5.13-3) on games, where the Intel chipset was picked up and used DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME, but that didn't solve the problem this time (and I actually don't need to use that launch flag anymore on those other games since 5.13-3).

EDIT: Though, the game is unstable and there are sound issues. Also textures have a "ghost" effect when the camera moves. As in they draw over each other.

I've got it to start. For everyone with Nvidia GPU and still getting the error: wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0000000000008664
Try with PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=1 in the launcher options. That finally worked, for me at least. Could've sworn I've tried it earlier, but that finally did the try. I've installed oibaf's PPA before, so I have the latest mesa stuff, maybe that's needed too, if hiding Nvidia GPU, I don't know.

Mangohud is not working for me though, overall performance good so far. Must see further if I've also got the missing audio issues, will report back.

Btw.: Patch 1.04. didn't do much in terms of being able to play at all, still works only if hiding Nvidia GPU.

I haven't needed to do any messing around with environment variables. Are you using wine directly or proton? I have the latest wine-staging installed rather than wine. Maybe it helps just having wine-staging installed?

I'm using Proton 5.13-4 but also have wine-staging installed. But if it's working for you that's fine, just didn't for me all the time until now.

Also want to point out that DXVK_HUD doesn't work.

I don't think DXVK is used. DXVK is for D3D9, D3D10 and D3D11. I believe Cyberpunk 2077 uses D3D12 but I could be wrong

Well, it is working for me. I had to reinstall a couple of weeks ago though.

Heh, managed to play for about an hour with 1.04. Finally froze inside the inventory, when I clicked on Stats. :rofl:

Heh, managed to play for about an hour with 1.04. Finally froze inside the inventory, when I clicked on Stats. rofl

Yeah the game tends to freeze at random, and reports so far I've seen state 20~ mins, 30~ mins, and 60 mins. Though I personally got < 10 mins once

@rlaPHOENiX You are correct, DXVK isn't used here. Vkd3d-proton is.

I'll have a substantial amount of time to test next week so if anybody wants just @ me and I'll do what I can to test stuff.

Patch 1.04 did not fix the missing audio issues.

@jvetulani Yeah, there is nothing audio-related in the patch notes and my testing have the issue remaining. Hopefully it'll be fixed at some point though as it is a bug on Windows as well, albeit just for some users.

There seems to be some stability improvements though, so hopefully it reduces the crashes on proton as well.

I have the game installed on Windows and Endeavour OS and I'm only experiencing the missing audio on Linux. Both are recently updated to 1.04.

Can anyone give feedback on GTX cards? I have a 1070 Ti and I'm not sure if I should buy the game and start tinkering

@rebelmuffin : with such an nvidia card, and assuming you follow all steps (proton 5.13-4, or wine-staging + vkd3d-proton branch 2.1 from git - I believe the later is right now being merged with master) expect the game to be playable but with GPU crashes regularly, until either 1. CDPR fixes their reliance on an undefined behaviour that is fortunately offset by AMD drivers having the VK_VALVE_mutable_descriptor_type extension or 2. nvidia releases an updated driver with the same extension, providing the same side effect (personally I'd bet on the second one). Also, you'll suffer from the same bug as everyone, including AMD users: many ambient sounds missing, which tends to put a dent into the atmosphere, and apparently the 1.04 patch doesn't fix that yet.

A bit unrelated, but if any other Linux user decides he wants to play the game through a remote desktop system on a LAN (such as through a local machine running Windows with OpenNX, Nomachine, or Parsec) until it's fully playable on Linux: you will almost certainly notice that both mouse and keyboard don't respond as soon as you launch the game from your Linux system inside the remote desktop window. That is not an issue with your setup, that is another bug in the game itself; one that a truly impressive user on reddit managed to identify through decompilation and reduce to a change of four bytes in the Cyberpunk2077.exe file: see here. Yes, it works. And not only does it work for such remote control software, it also allows many disabled people to play the game through similar software, which is why I thought it was worth mentioning.

@rebelmuffin I get the same issues everybody else does - crashes and missing audio - on my 1060 Ti. If you're willing to put up with random crashes every 15 minutes - 1 hour or so, and you don't mind the unsettling quiet or getting shot in the back without hearing the gunfire, go for it. Otherwise wait for CDPR or nvidia to patch the GPU issue and for CDPR to drop a fix for the audio problems (which also affect windows, but they have a workaround).

Following up with some more testing this evening on the new 1.04 hotfix. After a few crashes and checking dmesg, I see a variety of errors coming from GPU but the main one coinciding with the crash is this:

 Xid (PCI:0000:01:00): 31, pid=291362, Ch 0000004e, intr 10000000. MMU Fault: ENGINE GRAPHICS GPCCLIENT_T1_8 faulted @ 0x2_0db70000. Fault is of type FAULT_PTE ACCESS_TYPE_READ

Sometimes it's FAULT_PDE instead of PTE. Not sure if that means anything, but Google suggests a long-standing driver bug in nvidia with no suggested tweaks/workarounds. It eventually got fixed for several other games. DXVK dev punted in related github issues.

https://github.com/HansKristian-Work/vkd3d-proton/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#21

"The game will start and run on NVIDIA, but just like what happens without the extension on AMD, the GPU will randomly hang, making the game effectively unplayable. A game update to fix this bug would likely make the game playable on NVIDIA as well."

I couldn't in any way open the game from inside Steam. I managed to open it via command line with:
__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia gamemoderun STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH=/mnt/480GB/Games/steamapps/compatdata/1091500 WINEPREFIX=/mnt/480GB/Games/steamapps/compatdata/1091500/pfx /mnt/480GB/Games/steamapps/common/Proton\ 5.13/proton run /mnt/480GB/Games/steamapps/common/Cyberpunk\ 2077/bin/x64/Cyberpunk2077.exe

With all tests Steam is counting 3.6 hours of a game not played. I just got it working with that line and it had and abysmal performance with my little GTX 1050 mobile. 11, 20 FPS sometimes 28 (at 720p) if kept standing still. Sad but I won't be able to play it.

About sound bug:

From this comment

Sound is always output in 7.1 format even when headphones or 2.1 speakers are connected. You can check it here: Control Panel - Sound - Speakers (select from the list) - Properties - Levels - Play Control (Balance) - and you will see a list of all channels.

• I wonder if emulating a surround sound device using module-virtual-surround-sink pa module can help.
• Is 7.1 even supported by wine?

Anyone with a real surround sound setup - do you also experience this bug of no npc/radio audio?

@derlaft

I have a 5.1 setup and I'm also experiencing it - the sound works in the back speakers - I can hear some ambient sounds there, but there's no sound in the front speaker.

Just bumping to show interest. I'm running a 5700xt with Mesa git. Runs pretty much flawlessly for the exception of missing audio. It does seem like it could be exporting to multiple channels but I have no proof of it. Just a hunch.

BUMB.... I've got a 5700xt. Lots of missing audio like everybody else. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

@derlaft

Can you verify that you can hear the npc voices in the back because ambient sounds
can confused with some sounds

@Fuzzypyro Yeah, I'm running a 5700xt as well and the game runs pretty much the same as when I run it on Windows, the missing audio is the only thing that is making me boot into Windoze to play it. I tried running it through my TV via HDMI audio, but it's still doing the same thing.

• Extract .wav files. They were generated using the guide.

Please let me know if you have any luck with this setup.

winecfg recognizes this virtual sink only as a 5.1 device, so probably it is not supported at all.

UPDATE: did not work for me, no NPC sounds. Maybe something else is missing.

Am I supposed to turn atmos.tar.gz into a L .wav and R .wav with hesuvi_convert.c? The second instruction is unclear to me, but I'd love to test this before I have to go to bed.

Am I supposed to turn atmos.tar.gz into a L .wav and R .wav with hesuvi_convert.c?

No, these files are already the output of hesuvi_convert.c. You don't need to run it by yourself. Just extract atmos.tar.gz somewhere.

@derlaft
Alrighty. I tried extracting already and attempted once more after a re-download, but continue to see: gzip: stdin: not in gzip format. Is tar the right tool for this?

Additionally, pulseaudio-git doesn't wanna install because I run everything through jack (I mostly do audio work and pulseaudio-jack doesn't have an alternative on Jan Steffens' repo). I will most likely have to build my whole audio stack to test this at this point. I have to sleep early, so this will have to wait until tomorrow for me to do this.

Hoping for some positive news after work tomorrow, so that's something to look forward to.

Just tried - the file is ok:

Additionally, pulseaudio-git doesn't wanna install

I also had some problems with installing it because of some conflicts, PKGBUILD could have some improvements, yes.

Anybody noticed differences in performance in v1.04?
I haven't had the chance to check yet.

@derlaft
Oh wow, I used the wrong flags. Should've just RTFM'd. I actually used the heftig repo for pulseaudio-git to save time, but even that will require some work on my system.

Please let me know if you have any luck with this setup.

Just tried it - no NPC voices unfortunately.

I actually was more successful than most here, it appears.

I have the audio bugs others are having.
I do have a more-than-occasional crash.

Having said that, I was able to play the first couple hours of the game, up to the hotel job!

At the hotel, upon walking into the lobby, was when I first saw it, the whole screen went black. HUD elements still in place, and if I tap scan (hacking), it brings up the feature, and I can see again. As soon as I tap scan again, I'm returned to pitch black.

I managed to use the minimap, figuring it would just be the volumetric lighting effect in use, and got into the elevator with Jackie... and I was gifted with vision again.

Got through the stuff in the room, and started the raid on the penthouse. Right after that pivitol moment, the hotel is put on lockdown, and everything is bathed in red volumetric light... which... yep. No more vision. I can't see when I got outside, but manged to key through the little quicktime event.

Sadly, I can't continue from here. The hotel is in red light of some sort, and whatever the effect is causes the whole screen to black out entirely for the duration. Scan mode still works, and I can see with that... but obviously can't fight with it up.

I'd almost liken it to an 'overlay in use' type situation; so I tried disabling compositing and nightmode stuff, to no avail.

Just need the sound issue to be fixed.

@fubarhouse Yeah, I did a mission where I couldn't hear any gunshot sounds but my own and it was pretty weird experience to say the least lol

There's been discussion on missing sounds possibly correlating to the 7.1 surround. Have you guys realised there's Headset preset? I wonder if setting to that helps

There's been discussion on missing sounds possibly correlating to the 7.1 surround. Have you guys realised there's Headset preset? I wonder if setting to that helps

I tried all of the presets and nothing changed.

@typeitout
It does not. Appears to be audio EQ presets.

There's been discussion on missing sounds possibly correlating to the 7.1 surround. Have you guys realised there's Headset preset? I wonder if setting to that helps

I've tried switching between 5.1, 7.1, simple speakers, and headset. Doesn't seem to make a difference.
It appears to be on a 'separate audio channel' type of deal that's setup in DX12, and I'm gonna assume it's also going through some sorta weird filter set that DX12 offers that isn't ported/available yet.

There's been discussion on missing sounds possibly correlating to the 7.1 surround. Have you guys realised there's Headset preset? I wonder if setting to that helps

Yeah none of the presets work, HDMI out doesn't work, and apparently emulating 7.1 or 5.1 doesn't work either.

I forgot to mention earlier that I am also using a usb audio interface in duplex mode with integrated audio disabled and all other outputs disabled. And still having the same issues. If it's an issue with multichannel it would more than likely be an issue further up than pulseaudio. An uneducated guess would maybe be an issue with Faudio? I've seen earlier in the thread that it could be an issue with different audio formats but that seems unlikely to me as conversations between 2 npcs will be silent unless they start talking while you are staring them directly. Once it transfers to the next person if you aren't looking directly at them they will stay silent even after you turn to them.

For whatever reason uninstalling mesa-vulkan-drivers got character models showing up in create a character.

Hmmm, since the most recent game update I'm now seeing a slight grain effect when I move the camera. (AMD) Anyone else got this?

Frame rate seems to be pretty much the same as before.

Yes, even when I have film grain turned off. It looks kinda trippy when I move the camera.

Yeah, I'm wondering if this is on Windows, too? I assume it's a side-effect of the temporal anti-aliasing they don't let you turn off.

@megatog615 Seems so: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1091500/discussions/7/2988665684334096986/

I asked Joshua Ashton (One of the main vkd3d-proton developers) if disabling esync and fsync could potentially have an impact on the Nvidia crashes which it seems to do for some, and he said this:

Disabling ESYNC/FSYNC could help stop the race condition but that's only a side effect of things running slower (or rather, the extra synchronization needed).
Root causing it: It's just a coincidence that this prevents you running into the race condition as often.

So it can reduce the frequency of crashes, but it does not fix or fully avoid them.

In my case this has completely eliminated crashes!

It seems so for me too, although I've only played for about 2 hours since disabling them. In that time I would have expected around 10 crashes before, so it's a notable improvement for me. Although there may be a bit of random luck as well.

I have the same issue as @Skivet had a bit further up.

After a few seconds the driver crashes and I see colourful artefacts. Have to reboot after that.

Just tested another game to make sure if mesa-git even works and the game runs fine.

Edit:
After completely reinstalling the game it now works. I still have the audio issues. But graphics seems to work.
|Before reinstalling the game I tried to .local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1091500, that didn´t help.
I also checked integrity of the game files which also didn´t change anything.

I'm having this same issue too. I've tried various combinations of the launch commands listed in this thread and rolled back to the pop os 455.38 nvidia driver from the ubuntu 455.45 with no change. I also tried the proton-experimental version.

Someone earlier posted that they had a similar issue to this fixed by using the beta branch of proton 5.13-4. I don't quite know if he meant he built it and moved it into the compatabiltytools.d folder like a GE proton or if he did another method.

I can play the game alright but the performance just makes it unplayable, anything over Low preset pushes the FPS down to 15-20. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get better performance?
I am using GTX 1070 Ti with a i7 7700K and my settings are all on lowest plus %50 resolution scale which gives around 50-60 FPS

Can anybody verify with a 7.1 surround sound headset that game audio works? With this issue we are trying to find out why half the audio is missing form the game.

I can tell that I have 7.1 headphones and I have audio, but I can't tell you if sounds well as you ask :S

@hollowsaibot any radio? Do you hear NPC's when talking to them?

yes, I can hear them. Mostly Ubuntu 20.04 by default, Alsa, etc. Request anything you want. If I can check. In the thread there is my hardware in one comment and a video/bug as example on another

So confirmed it works if you have surround sound. Now to try and find a way to downmix it back to stereo.

Nah, what was your play time? If you hear radio in the car it's working if not, sorry. You can hear npcs, only the main ones.
you can try starting as nomad,you quickly get into a car that way. If music doesn't play it doesn't work.

I have the HyperX Cloud II headset, it has 7.1 surround sound and I still can't hear any the NPC voice, radio or enemy bullets.

Hmm. Maby it doesn't work than. Directly talking to NPCs work but ambient NPC talking doesn't.
Valve, please fix

Oka, then I must agree with you. For example the radio didn't work, and I don't remember listening the enemy weapons, so it provably works bad. The main characters yes at least by the moment.

Hello @derlaft, @Settyness, while I don't have an issue with the audio conversion script you were tinkering with, please do not redistribute converted game content

Hello @kisak-valve. This is not converted game content, this is something converted from HeSuVi files. I had a feeling that these are free to distribute, because the software source code is available, but the license is nowhere to be specified. Anyways, I can now see that you deleted the link.

Running the GOG version of the game, through Proton 5.13 version of wine.

@derlaft, thanks for clarifying that it doesn't involve game content, but equally unclear if it's a hazard we need to avoid.

Sure. ~Since the instruction was completely deleted~ Aww, thanks for undeleting them. I have reuploaded it here anyways: https://der.ttyh.ru/blag/post/pulseaudio-71/. No questionable files are attached.

This might be useful: maybe someone else manages to make this work. After all, such a workaround solution works under Windows. Also might be useful for debugging 5.1/7.1 sound while developing/debugging wine components.

Just checked in compatdata that there isn't an option. You can only chenge what you see in the settings menu

Can confirm the missing audio on npcs / tv / radio / gunshots as well.

Tested with optical out, stereo out, hdmi out -> tv, 5.1 analog surround out. with and without pulseeffects

Besides that working like a charm /w mesa-git

Can someone with a surround system test it again but after changing the proton/wine settings to surround as well? I think it's set to stereo by default.

It can be changed by running this:
WINEPREFIX="/*your*/*home*/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1091500/pfx"_ WINEPATH="/*your*/*home*/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Proton 5.13/dist/bin/wine64" winecfg
And changing the speaker setup in the Audio tab.

People have tried changing that when using a stereo system to no avail, but perhaps it might work if someone has an actual surround system.

I did that (with a virtual 5.1) - no luck. Unfortunately it's impossible to select 7.1 there. Some reports with a real audio hardware this setting changed are still welcome. But I think it automatically selects 5.1 for appropriate devices by default.

I just found out that NPC dialogs are actually there when you turn on the scanner with Tab button. Not exactly the solution, but interesting nonetheless

In addition to missing sounds and somewhat frequent crashes, I also had an issue after getting a little ways into the story where the screen would go black but the HUD and sounds still worked. It was very strange because it is based on where the character is standing. Takes place in a hotel and there is an invisible line down the middle of the lobby where if you stand in front of it, the screen is black but you can walk back and forth across the line restoring and losing vision. Pressing Tab to use the scanner (in-game mechanic) briefly shows the screen rendered correctly. I tried cranking the gamma but the screen is just black. After watching a Youtube video of the level, I don't notice any visual effects turning on in the locations that the screen goes black. Managed to complete the level and have not run into the issue in other levels/locations yet.

Yeah I noticed that too, might be something to do with the effect they apply to the audio, maybe adding the effect happens on a different channel?

Not sure, it VKD3D/Mesa/KDE bug, but i have periodical graphic glitches with performance drop on multiscreen config. On both screens (with game ang desktop) starts glitches with black pipelines, and stops after few time or when i return to main menu/desktop. Looks like overload graphic adapter memory.

UPD: with one display hawe glitches too

I may have found something regarding constant crashing on nvidia. Just tested this for about 1 hour so far, but no crashes (yet).
Would like someone else to confirm / deny. I added the following to the xorg.conf under "Screen" section:

Option "metamodes" "{ForceCompositionPipeline=On, ForceFullCompositionPipeline=On}"

You may have to trick a little bit if you already have some metamodes in your config.

I suppose you can also set this via nvidia-settings under X Server Display Configuration -> Advanced FWIW

small update, don't know if it helps anyone but i guess every info might be usefull:

surround sound works, however does not fix the missing audio problem

steps so far:

(https://www.reddit.com/r/wine_gaming/comments/jyzfw5/surround_sound/)

`
export WINEPREFIX="/home//.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1091500/pfx"
export WINEPATH="/home//.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Proton - Experimental/dist/bin/wine64"

winetricks xact xact_x64

wincfg
`

change audio to surround 5.1 pulseaudio

when roaming NC the background noise i.e. mumbling people in front of a club or static background noise from the streets move around correctly

Can someone with a surround system test it again but after changing the proton/wine settings to surround as well? I think it's set to stereo by default.

It can be changed by running this:
WINEPREFIX="/*your*/*home*/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1091500/pfx"_ WINEPATH="/*your*/*home*/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Proton 5.13/dist/bin/wine64" winecfg
And changing the speaker setup in the Audio tab.

People have tried changing that when using a stereo system to no avail, but perhaps it might work if someone has an actual surround system.

I have already tried this, but my surround sound system is bluetooth. It did not work in that case. Same results as @dreadkopp. Not sure if I was getting the background ambient chatter before that change, but it hasn't solved the main problem.

Edit: regarding 1.04:

• did not solve any standing issues
• i now seem to consistently crash when activating fast travel kiosks (but not while opening my map, fwiw). this was a problem before but now it's constant
• i now have a weird graphical artifact where people's faces subtly shift around while talking, and similarly some background objects seem to shift around. Like a mild hallucinogenic trip. Reminds me of ambien. Not sure if this is the patch or some combination of graphics tweaks, but it's unsettling.

I just found out that NPC dialogs are actually there when you turn on the scanner with Tab button. Not exactly the solution, but interesting nonetheless

Without knowing anything about how the game is actually coded, my guess would be that this could be an issue with positional 3D audio, or special audio effects. The game wants to play the audio coming from a given direction or with special effects applied, and relies on some underlying function to determine what volume it should play at for each channel. However, the underlying function is a stub or not working correctly, so it always returns 0, giving us 0-volume audio for all these sources. It's likely not using this routine for all audio, since we do hear a lot of ambient noise- Probably stuff the developers don't think needs to be passed through the same effect, same for personal gunshots, main character voice, caller voice and the voices of NPC's you're actively engaging- Not to mention radio.

anyone tried /wo pulseaudio but alsa as audiodriver ?

i tryed with alsa and hdmi speakers. same result

@ygaeon unfortunately it didn't work for me (crashed after 5mins of playing)

Crashes were not a big problem at first but it seems that they get more frequent when traversing NC. It got way worse after a few hours

For what it's worth I installed Windows to check and I had no missing audio issues; no workaround needed. So it doesn't seem to be hardware related. Also the performance is night and day. I was getting ~40-50 fps on medium with proton but get well over 60 on ultra with windows. I imagine part of that has to do with the game ready Nvidia driver that was released for Cyberpunk on Windows that doesn't yet exist on Linux.

I'm going to guess some API in wine is missing to play the sounds :(

@ErikReider Thanks, that solved the start crash. (I was a bit afraid I would lose save, so I just moved the folder, but it looks like saves are stored elsewhere, maybe in the cloud?)

@mnn glad that it helped. Steam stores saves of games that support the feature :)

I figured it out: I am running the latest xanmod kernel and there this hardening is enabled by default. If I launch with the standard Manjaro kernel 5.9-11 the game launches without disabling the hardening. Thts because it is disabled by default, if I enable it, game wont launch as well.

So this prolly plays no role in the crashings, cause seems like its disabled on standard kernel.

I am past the heist now in Act 2, no crashings so far. Only said audio issues.

(if this has already been found/discussed, I apologize, but there's like 400 comments in this issue and I couldn't see a mention of it)

I've cleared my cache and replaced the Cyberpunk2077.exe but the game still hangs randomly at some point during the car ride in "The Heist".
I am also getting the already mentioned kernel error

I wouldn't trust such a source... patched executables just from upstream (in this case CDPR).

Can anyone confirm this (and prove it ideally) ?

Agreed, wouldn't install an .exe from an unknown source. Could contain all sorts of malware.

The game runs fine for me, up to the point when I get to night city, when it suddenly drops to 1-2 fps. After that, it works fine in the training area, but gets back to 1fps when going back to the car

Any idea why could this happen?

Also comments on the original patched exe the poster at the Nexus link references saying it doesn't help getting past the crash in the car during The Heist, so that may just be a game bug anyway.

• i now have a weird graphical artifact where people's faces subtly shift around while talking, and similarly some background objects seem to shift around. Like a mild hallucinogenic trip. Reminds me of ambien. Not sure if this is the patch or some combination of graphics tweaks, but it's unsettling.

Indeed, this happening for me as well. And some sounds are still missing.

6 core 2nd gen ryzen, amd 8gb amd graphics card. Manjaro. Running pretty smooth at 60 fps on ultra.

Still have missing audio but I found that a mentioned steam launch option "PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60" without quotes fixed the crackling audio completely.

I also have observations to add that support the idea of a missing function call in the vkd3d code(which i think is where the relevant audio code would be). Missing sounds so far: Objects falling and general physics sounds like breaking glass that happen more than a few feet from the player. Civilians talking while not scanning them. Radios, tvs, machinery that isn't plot related. Enemy gunfire. Friendly gunfire. Grenades exploding(pins pull). Hacks have pass/faill sounds locally, but the remote effects have no sound. No actual songs have played. Only a bass/technobeat durring combat or stealth that I want to call mood music.

Could anyone out there describe in what ways directx 12 is supposed to handle these kinds of sounds that is radically different than previous versions? Bc if it isn't we may be able to scalp some code from the dx11 or earlier implementation and use it as a stopgap until the dx12 features get properly addressed? I half know what im talking about here, has anyone contacted the maintainers of the current vkd3d development?

Im sorta new to programming and don't have my pc(or my mind) set up for making my own patch. But i will if i have to.

As a small aside: this thread is the most cyberpunk thread out there right now. Running windows games on linux using open source, largely reverse engineered code to play a game about hacking, corporate greed and the desire for freedom. It almost feels wrong to play on windows and I think it would also feel wrong if they released a native linux version. Not that I would complain if they did, hah.

@Killroystyx CDPR should have made a Linux version, how can you have a Cyberpunk game without running it on Linux, come on! Haha

Anyway keep us updated on a patch if it has to come to that.

@Killroystyx CDPR should have made a Linux version, how can you have a Cyberpunk game without running it on Linux, come on! Haha

They did do this... for Stadia. They just don't want to be bothered to support desktop Linux. Most likely due to Witcher 2.

Can we split this into a "crash" thread and a "no audio" thread since the original issue listed is fixed by mesa-git? I'm not having any issues besides audio, and this thread is becoming too cumbersome. It's partly how the GItHub UI works, I have to sit there and load all of the replies just to see something 8 hours ago to follow closely.

@Killroystyx I absolutely agree, I keep getting replies of visual crashes and I'm all good on that front, the game runs just as well as it does on Windoze for me. It's just this darn audio, although the scanning thing works for NPCs but that's just ridiculous having to walk around like the Terminator scanning everyone

I'm totally for splitting this. The majority of players I have seen here that are running amd graphics, Mesa-git and latest proton don't seem to have issues with crashes or performance myself included. The spatial audio issue seems to be the biggest issue for this group. Crashes seem to be mostly tied to those who are using nvidia, lutris, etc. 

Someone more active give us a link to help divert people off of this thread and we can regroup there

The bug with wobbly face animations is now fixed in Proton Experimental. Restarting Steam and the game should let it apply automatically.

Please do not report further issues about crashes and freezes on NVIDIA GPUs on various repositories. It's currently known to be unstable.

@Plagman
Proton experimental doesn't work for me. Game won't launch at all unless its using 5.13-4

@Killroystyx try removing the prefix

@ErikReider thanks! But now the audio crackles again. Maybe a little sharper and more responsive visually, but not too dramatically for my system.

@Killroystyx launch the game with PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60 %command%. That fixed audio crackling for me and many others apparently

ehh can't get through "the Heist" car drive. still wont install windows!
EDIT: people who've managed to fix "the Heist" please reach out! drop a comment or something :D

@rebelmuffin thanks, but that's the line i removed to get the experimental proton to work. Its either smooth visuals with crackles(using experimental) or no crackles and some slight blurring/visual smoothing artifacts(using 5.13-4 + PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60).

What I'm most interested in is where in the code proton deals with directx 12 audio. I browsed the dx11 code and audio has it's own clearly labeled submodules. I can mostly follow it to as far as where it deals with passing audio sources to a filter(although I'm still way to green at this to be sure until i start compiling and breaking things). The dx12 code looses me. It just looks like a lot of low level cpu optimizations or someting beyond me like that and i can't find anything at looks like audio code.

I would love some direction on how to better bug hunt this type of thing, but not if its from someone actually fixing this issue. Take what info i can give and dont let me distract you lol.

@Killroystyx Direct3D has been a mess since its first release, what did you expect?
Also it's very weird, are you sure it's because of that option?

@rebelmuffin yes. It was the only change.
And well i guess i expected the open source implementation to be written in a readable way or else why bother with source code and just go back to writing binary by hand? Is it too much to ask for filenames to reflect the contents of the file?

@Killroystyx
Perhaps try skipping the launcher as well? My full launch option is: WINEDLLOVERRIDES="xaudio2_7=n,b" PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60 %command% --launcher-skip and Proton Experimental has worked for me since the aforementioned post.

Oh yeah, I also have --launcher-skip lol

@Settyness I hadn't mentioned it but I have also been using the no launcher option since none of the online features work for me either. But removing it never seemed to affect stability for me in any noticeable way. I tried that other option before the last update out of desperation but im not really sure what it does. Should i be looking through xaudio code to understand how dx12 handles this?

@Killroystyx Honestly forgot it had that until now. It was a vain attempt to getting audio to play properly. It has worked with some games in the past (Skyrim IIRC).

I thought --launcher-skip could be relevant, because without it, the game only launches 50% of the time for me, and will appear as a crash through Steam.

@Settyness That full line you use also lets me use the experimental branch. Visuals and audio both good!

Well, the missing ones are still missing. But this is progress.

Now to play more and see if i crash on the heist too...

Did anyone find a way to improve the game performance?

Did anyone found a way to improve the game performance?

@renanpvaz, There is one potential patch on AMD: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Cyberpunk_2077#SMT_Enable_for_AMD_processors https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/kbp0np/cyberpunk_2077_seems_to_ignore_smt_and_mostly/gfjf1vo/

@derlaft Wow, what a neat trick. My CPU shot up in usage with all cores/thread utilized. I would get dips in the mid 40s before, but now it's much more noticeably stable. Didn't even know this game used SMT, just assumed it would probably be better to disable.

For reference, I'm using a R7 3700X and RX 5700XT.

A solution to audio? https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/81
There is already a mod ding community and a mod that allows you to directly edit the game's exe options. Might be able to force stereo

I've already checked, no audio-related options. I've tried to disable lip sync and something - no luck. But it might be worthwhile checking all the potential tweaks - maybe something unrelated to audio fixes it.

Well im not one of the ones who crash on the heist.

Im skeptical a mod will reliably fix this linux issue. My bet is still on an issue somewhere in the directx12 audio pipeline to proton. It has the flavor of a linux bug, not a cyberpunk or Windows bug. Just my hunch at this point though.

Im not an expert, but what I'm going to try after some sleep is to ser up my proton drivers to output debug logs, then search that output for sound errors and warnings and then work from there? It has been a few years since I've programmed. Should be fun.

It happens for Windows users, but they at least have the ability to turn off and change the feature that the game uses to make it work. We have no such way to adjust it.

@megatog615 Ahh right. That. Well it's also possible it gets fixed first with the linux drivers if its an issue in directx12. Otherwise modding is the only option besides waiting for an official fix from on high. Or im too sleepy to think about it right. Gotta get off the phone, hah.

Does everyone else on Linux have no NPC audio? If so, I take it there is no work around other than waiting to see if patch 1.05 fixes it?

@hashwagon

Does everyone else on Linux have no NPC audio? If so, I take it there is no work around other than waiting to see if patch 1.05 fixes it?

Correct. NPC audio, car radio, and some NPC gunfire is missing in-game. It's not you. It appears to be a Linux-only bug from what I've been able to gather thus far, but I could be wrong about that.

Focus, right now, is the glitching out and/or crash issues - especially at The Heist.

I'm wondering... can anybody using stadia replicate the issue asdociated to the kissing audio?

Sounds like the sound is outputting to the wrong sink actually...

The problem seems to exist under Windows as well: https://steamah.com/cyberpunk-2077-how-to-fix-audio-issues/

Hello. Finally got it working, no more textures problem.

Thanks to all the posts and help in this thread 👍🎉

I get this issue if I use my controller to drive. The button prompts are permanently for the controller after that and the Map controls no longer allow me to float the mouse with the cursor.

@HadetTheUndying have you tried the game in Windows? Could be a game bug

Any new discoveries for getting past the heist mission crash? I managed to get all the way to the end of the car ride without a crash by opening the pause menu for around 30 seconds every 5 or so seconds to let stuff load in. I don't know if theres something specific about getting out the car that would cause a crash but it seems to be that way.
tail.log

Besides that, the new proton experimental improved performance and I no longer have the weird ghosting effect on graphics. I can play for a good 30-60 min between crashes. Audio still missing, of course.

@typeitout are you running on a hdd? There's a setting for people running hdds. Idk if it would cause the crashing but worth a try 😁

@ErikReider no i have an nvme ssd. i tried that setting earlier on a whim and it didnt change anything. however, that was before the proton-experimental was updated. Here's a log from my last attempt a few minutes ago. I personally don't know what any of it means :(

This is a bug in the game.

Waaait. I can hear NPCs. My launch options are: MANGOHUD=1 gamemoderun %command% --launcher-skip with the latest proton experiment.

Edit: I heard two NPCs talk but when I pressed "F" to make them talk, they were silent

Edit 2: So when NPCs talk to you, it works but when you interact with them, it doesn't

I'm now thinking there might be a missing audio codec - the videos have proven to be encoded via BINK and the library generally included for codecs is no longer included in the ffmpeg package. Will give it a try tomorrow and report back.

Waaait. I can hear NPCs. My launch options are: MANGOHUD=1 gamemoderun %command% --launcher-skip with the latest proton experiment set to "Next" beta.

These Launch options lead the game to not start at all. But I have to admit that I don't know what you mean with "latest proton experiment set to next beta". I only find Proton experimental. Where is the other option?

Make sure you have gamemode installed, or else - yes, the command would be expected to fail.
You can get it here - I had to install it too as I thought I already had it.

@LuFlo My bad, the Proton Experimental doesn't have a "Next" beta. But I am running the game with Proton Experimental with the latest patch

Thanks for the comments. I managed to start with gamemode, but no luck for me. I'm currently in Lizzys Bar and there is no talking or music...

i extracted the audio_1_general.archive and audio_2_soundbanks.archive to take a look and i see the sound files are .wem format
not sure what kind of audio codec is being used inside of those files but googling i find .wem format is wwise. found another game that were using wwise where they used mfplat. i attempted to install that into cyberpunk 2077 but sadly didnt do anything to the missing audio

Do you also guys cant select radio station during riding car? Sound its not working but I cant even confirm selection of radio station. (works correct on Win10)

Same here.

Can anyone confirm that patch 1.04 (from CD PROJEKT RED) for the game does not start correctly? I tried running it this morning with mesa 20.3.0-3, mesa-git, Proton 5.13-4 and Proton-Experimental in all possible combinations on Arch. The patch seems to be unplayable.

The release version of the game still works with both Proton versions and mesa-git fixes the rendering issues (only UI works, the rest is a mixture of depth buffer and global illumination).

I think that's an issue with Proton. The processes seem to start properly and nothing crashes but no window opens. I updated via GOG Galaxy 2.0 on Win10 and copied the patched version back to Arch (for the people who want to reproduce - unsure if you can get the patch on Linux somehow).

@TheJackiMonster 1.04 works fine here. Both with 5.13-4 and Experimental. I did not update anything else. I'm on a Manjaro system.

Works fine on Ubuntu 20.04 with both Proton versions. (only this sound issue.. ehhh)

@TheJackiMonster Why didn't you just download it through Lutris?

@ErikReider I downloaded through Minigalaxy but during release and I thought patching only is faster.

@TheJackiMonster sounds like that could be the problem...

@ErikReider I will download the whole game again and confirm if it works then.

Found something about installing xact to get wwise audio to work

Edit 1: sadly winetricks xact didn't work...

I'm wondering... can anybody using stadia replicate the issue asdociated to the kissing audio?

@fubarhouse I have stadia as well, Stadia does not have missing audio and I have stereo speakers. Using chromium to play stadia not the Chromecast

Signature of AVX bug is as follows:
Game crashes at and beyond these locations:
Take a seat for Corpo
Exit bar for Street Kid
After cutscene for arrival at city for Nomad   

You can do this mod yourself trivially. Simply use a hex editor on the Cyberpunk2077.exe,
and replace "55 48 81 ec a0 00 00 00 0f 29 70 e8" with "c3 48 81 ec a0 00 00 00 0f 29 70 e8". 
This simply turns the bad AVX call into a return.
DISCLAIMER: May be breaking things under the hood, but seems stable.

Probably solves the problem with hangs on Nvidia. I haven't been able to get any hangs yet. Checking.

Confirmed, still crashing...
Furthest I've gotten over the dozens of times I've tried is when V actually is half-way exiting the car.

I mean random hangs that I used to have a lot of. If it hangs in the same place every time, it probably won't help.

So the patch 1.04 as GOG version won't work with Proton. I've tried a new installation via Lutris but the windows still won't show up. Minigalaxy also installs the 1.03 version everytime.

The patch 1.04 from Steam however works fine with Proton Experimental except sound issues and other minor things I didn't notice much.

I know that it is offtopic here, but when reading about all the game issues, I wonder why Valve chose the "Proton way" instead of helping CD Projekt Red releasing a native Linux version of Cyberpunk 2077 that they already have - it was made for Stadia, but it seems to work fine on a standard Linux desktop. Unfortunately, they released it only for Stadia.

I don't know about minigalaxy issues, but for what it's worth the windows version of GOG Galaxy worked fine for me when downloading and installing the GOG version of the game, as well as updating it to 1.04, using wine-staging 5.22. After that I just had to dance around some of the known issues of Proton 5.13 which is currently bugged when used with non-steam games using the normal "proton" executable. Applying the patch found here I could use proton to run the GOG version of the game just fine.

but it seems to work fine on a standard Linux desktop

As he clarified this post was about Division 2, not Cyberpunk 2077. But, yeah, most likely Cyberpunk 2077 from Stadia would work fine too, if it would be ever released.

The log of Proton:
steam-1091500.log

It can't work with nvidia.

@vowstar it's working (with the exceptions of the audio bugs and general glitches described in this thread) for me with the following specs:

Nvidia 2080ti
Intel I9 9900k
Ubuntu 20.04
Nvidia drivers 455.45.1
Proton experimental (via steam)

I wouldn't give up hope yet, try some of the other suggested fixes in this thread such as disabling gl flip (didn't help me) and the proton envs:

PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 PROTON_NO_FSYNC=1

Good luck!

Hello @vowstar, you log has Unhandled exception: unimplemented function ^E.�3�H��`[���������������H��8^O��I�P H��t^\�^M�o� called in 64-bit code (0x000000007bc2f798). which has been mentioned a handful of times before in this compatibility report. If I recall correctly, players who have seen this worked around it by moving/removing their wine prefix (/home/vowstar/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1091500).

Thank you! It works! You have made my day.
By remove /home/vowstar/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1091500, when I click play, all things going well.

Probably solves the problem with hangs on Nvidia. I haven't been able to get any hangs yet. Checking.

Still crashing during the car ride in "The Heist".

Confirmed, still crashing...
Furthest I've gotten over the dozens of times I've tried is when V actually is half-way exiting the car.

I passed "The Heist" crash by turning down graphics and pausing frequently during the car ride. Don't ask me why that worked. I still get random crashes with this mod. Hard to tell if the frequency went down. (Nvidia 1080)

It can't work with nvidia.

I definitely starts and runs with nvidia, but you will experience random freezes during the game. Please don't spread misinformation.

@RafeMcAtee okay, i tried the heist car ride about 20 times and crashed every time... Just did as you suggested and paused the game every 5 seconds or so during the journey and it worked first time... Wtf 😂

Can anybody else test this and see if this works for them?

(No mods, proton experimental)

@jaxwilko didn't work for me. I ran proton experimental, with the launch options:

PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60 %command% --launcher-skip

Not only did it not work, but it froze immediately after unpausing. I've heard people saying it's due to a high volume of objects being loaded into the world during the ride, any way to force a reduction?

I just completed the heist issue and I didn't crash at all. The game hasn't crashed for me at all yet.
It could possibly be an issue with Nvidia GPUs as the lastest version of proton specifically mentions cyberpunk 2077 compatability with AMD gpus using Mesa Git. I'm using gamemoderun MANGOHUD=1 %command% --launcher-skip and a 5700xt with no issues so far. This is with out mods and proton stable latest

Given the amount of reports on random freezes and crashes here I'm still inclined to say, you're just lucky and yet to experience a crash. I've had a close to three hour long stable gameplay until a crash happened.
Sorry to bear bad news but only saying this to avoid giving people false hope.

Recommended music for The Heist on Nvidia GPU's: Everything Black by Unlike Pluto

If you make it past The Heist and Dex in the dark, I haven't run into any other glitched levels yet.

Everything is stable as hell, but there's one part of the car ride in the heist that is consistently freezing. Guess I won't be progressing until this is sorted... either that or maybe there's a save game available somewhere...

@fubarhouse boot into Windows and get past the ride, click F5 to quick save and then reboot back into Linux :)

@ErikReider that would require having Windows... which I do not.

If I can be bothered I'll install it this week but I really don't want to.

Edit: I removed the steam compatdata folder for the game and it cruised through without any problems.

I do not know if it was the pausing itself or a combination of factors, but this methodology worked for me to pass The Heist yesterday as well.
nvidia 2060 mobile, 455.45 driver, proton experimental branch
I dropped the resolution and field of view to the lowest settings (1024x768 and 70 degrees fov iirc)

During the car ride, I had my character look down and to the left as much as possible, this was to avoid rendering whatever was causing the crash. I also used the inventory menu to pause rapidly and inch my way through the scene.

After getting through the car ride, most of the inside of the hotel was black and I could only see using the scanner, so there went my sneaky sneaky. Was not easy to navigate but I managed to finish the prologue. Haven't needed to inch through anything else and I've now reduced crowd size as well.

While not totally stable, it is absolutely playable if you manage to tweak things right and be cognizant about when shit is getting gpu heavy.

No clue if it means anything, and probably not. But when pausing I waited for my fans to spin down before unpausing. I was pretty frustrated after fighting it for a couple hours so I just took my time and made it through.

The last major thorn in my side has been the missing pieces of audio. I attempted the xact fix for wine specified https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/99i4se/skyrim_on_linux_steam_play_no_voiceno_music_audio/ but it seems like it actually made me lose another audio stream or two so idk.

If anyone has ideas for the audio issues I will love you forever.

Long story short, minimize unnecessary gpu stuff like things that are far away or small details. Be aware of whats being rendered to try and compensate manually.

One comment ago...

Tried this earlier today and it didn't work...

Are you using the next branch of proton 5.13-4

Yeah - it works great with 5.13-4, Experimental and proton-ge-custom (if you rebuild from source). Turns out something was wrong and removing the compatdata for the game and reverifying the files fixed the issue. :)

@XDshot

Problem solved by removing amdvlk package, then why VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/radeon_icd.x86_64.json:/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/radeon_icd.i686.json doesn't work

Super late reply to a super obscure problem, but, I found the same behavior. I think it's because Proton 5.13 and up still does not yet work with that environment variable (among some others), as detailed in #4289

I have no idea why 5.13 and up broke so many things for so many users. I still can't get any version of proton newer than 5.11 to run on any non-Steam games, period.

Unfortunately I don't think solving the audio issues are gonna be quite as simple as we think. I think there's probably some DirectSound issues that need to be solved in Wine/Proton for this to work. Things that don't have any sort of API translation implemented yet. I hope I'm wrong and it's something super simple. DX12 is a god damn nightmare, and while I'm impressed by vkd3d-proton the code readability compared to DXVK is night and day.

I can confirm that the audio works fine on Stadia and Geforce Now(Though i think Geforce Now is a Windows VM)

The comment just before this one...

Yeah geforce now is a windows enterprise VM I think with some custom nvidia software sprinkled on top. I don't know why they don't release a vulkan mode. Red engine, like unity, allows them to easily port the game to other platforms. It should just be a setting in Red engine to enable vulkan then optomise it a bit. In every game I have tried vulkan has always been more stable and more efficient even on Windows and with Vulkan RT it should be used instead of DX in the future because fuck DX12

(No mods, proton experimental)

Yes, it works. Not 100% reliably. But it worked for me on the second try. Pay attention to where you are when the crash happens (look out the windows) and try to pause for about 15 seconds right before the crash.

I could not find any solution for the screen blackout during the ensuing mission though. Including using the hack on nexus that lets you toggle hidden graphics settings by editing the game's binary. I played through the whole thing blind, using the scanner to peek at the environment every once in a while. Protip: if you can tag enemies and then use a tech weapon to shoot them through cover it gets a lot easier. Same issue occurs in the no-tell hotel. There must be some kind of special "hotel shader effect" or something :<

@nphyx yeah the hotel is a pain while being blind 😂. I have a feeling that pausing regularly may just give the game extra time to release no longer needed memory and load in the new stuff.

FYI I've played maybe 4-5 hours after the hotel and have had no issues (not even any crashes which were happening frequently prior).

Hopefully that shader doesn't make a return 😂

I can't continue...

The black box issue is making progression on the heist mission impossible...

On a positive note, the sound issues are going to get looked at...

Not sure if it's helpful but I noticed under pavucontrol that Cyberpunk is listed as Cyberpunk 2077: audio stream #2

Also I can't get the game to run no matter what I try using Proton 5.13-4 or experimental but I am able to play using Proton-5.21-GE-1.

Where does it say they're looking into it?

On WIndows they appearantly can fix this issue with this Programm called HeSuVi. Has Anyone tried that out or is familiar with it? What does it do and can we do something similar on Linux?

From that sound thread on official forums:

Had the exact same issues: No music in Lizzy's Bar, no dialogue from NPC's.

The problem was fixed by NOT choosing "Continue" when I launched the game.

Instead, I manually loaded a savegame.

Tried it and it didn't work for me :disappointed: (random NPCs are still quiet)

Yeah, I have also tried that. I have seen that TK-Glitch has released a new build Proton 6.0-RC2, but sadly it didn't make a differents.

Wow, we have a fun one here. This is on an NVidia RTX 2070 Super. This is at the Relic stealing mission. When walking towards the secuirity scanner, everything goes black, and it stays black, even going through and up the elevator.

@TheChriZ, From what I get, HeSuVi emulates a 7.1 sounds setup with stereo hardware. I've tried to do that with puleaudio: no luck, the bug is still present. You can find my messages earlier in the thread.

@Zephranoid

Tow things.

This pretty much confirms my suspicion that this is Unimplemented API in Wine since we're missing an audio stream. I don't know how to progress from there someone more knowledgeable than I am is going to have to figure that out.

I do not use Linux for that, so that thoughtlessly replacing EXE files, instead of actions that take one minute.

About an hour ago the internal QA branch got updated on Steam. Can be seen here.

While nothing is certain that would suggest a new patch has reached what is likely the final step of QA testing through Steam, so chances are decent it'll be released relatively soon.

While the next console patch are said to come within 7 days the console patches likely are larger as they need to go through certification before release. So smaller more frequent patches for Windows are probable.

As the missing sound is a fairly common issue on Windows as well I'm hopeful in it being prioritized, and hopefully fixed in a way that works for us too.

My fingers are crossed it'll be fixed in this patch, while there are other issues that's the one stopping me from even bothering properly playing at all. I'm mostly firing it up to test things so far and have only played the very start. Amassing 6 hours according to Steam.

My nightmares are freezes, if they are fixed then I will enjoy game much better. I can do without sound if that is too hard to fix, but freezes on nvidia are quite annoying...

I'm considering buying an AMD GPU just to get rid of my Nvidia one. It's been giving me issues ever since I installed linux

My nightmares are freezes, if they are fixed then I will enjoy game much better. I can do without sound if that is too hard to fix, but freezes on nvidia are quite annoying...

I also experienced a lot of freezes during The Ripperdoc - especially upon leaving the car and walking towards the alley. Only fix was save spamming and turning down graphics (don't know if that made a difference) until the player character left the area again.
Everything after that particular mission has been smooth sailing so far.

Thing is, I'm running AMD with mesa-git instead of Nvidia.

I'm not sure if it means much, but all NPC voices play back when you use your scanner, and when you're looking at them through hacked surveillance cameras. Is it possible that the voices are stored a second time in a different audio format? They sound a bit different (intentionally), but I'm not sure if that's caused by realtime filter, or by loading different sound files.

@RafeMcAtee okay, i tried the heist car ride about 20 times and crashed every time... Just did as you suggested and paused the game every 5 seconds or so during the journey and it worked first time... Wtf

I found this error reported in PoE where other user claimed it's fault of drivers and/or hardware (IMO hw is unlikely in our case).

game 1.04, Manjaro, NVidia 2080ti, drivers 455.45.01, kernel 5.9.11-3 (vanilla)

doesn't work for me, tried 3 times already ;/ crashes the second I turn pause menu off

Unsure if this is helpful or not, but our setups seem similar.
I was only able to make it through by being extremely patient.

I would only unpause for maybe a second or two, then pause and let my fans all spin down to 'idle'
This did make some dialogue in the car ride difficult, but my only goal was getting through and saving.

Hopefully there are some patches in the works that make this unnecessary though, because it's a massive pita

There is this post on the cyberpunk 2077 subreddit, where OP found a configuration file, which seems to limit both RAM and VRAM usage to ~1.6GB and 3GB respectively. By changing the values in this config file, they claim to improve the performance of the game a lot.

While this does not seem to work on my computer, it might be worth a try to change the config files yourself. Some people report that this fix only works when running the game as an administrator, though I'm not even sure if that is an option when running games with proton. I also tried skipping the launcher, but this also didn't seem to have any effect.

Maybe one of you guys is able to do something with this information.

Just tried it ... can't say I noticed any performance increases ...
Still crashing in "The Heist" car though ... :'-(

I saw and tried those edits too, no notable difference in fps, perhaps smoother but I didn't test much.
But I'm already at 98%+ GPU usage most of the time which is better than most games even if that power may not be as efficiently used as it could be. So I'm not bottlenecked by anything but GPU power and I wouldn't expect changes like that to have much of an effect, there might be some benefit though, and perhaps more notable for others.

Worth noting is also that those fixes have already been added to the performance overhaul mod talked about earlier, that person is quickly making that the go-to mod for all low-level performance-related fixes.

Opening post of this compatibility report

I dont like that they are trying to scare people with nvidia cards off, it worked fine since launchday with nvidia cards too, its just the sound bug where sound is missing for music and some npcs:s but amd has the same problem.

I too don't thing the config edit does something. I am 99% gpu as well with 30 - 40 fps on the Vega 64 in 2k high settings. This is what is about to be expected and I have the same performance in Starcitizen. Only have those audio issues, besides that it's perfect.

@sciroccogti82 It crashes frequently and randomly on Nvidia cards, with the only known way of improving it to some extent (disabling esync and fsync) not doing much for most people.

I haven't had the chance to test yet, but that post is by someone running Windows. They note that to have an effect, the game needs to be run as a windows admin. Maybe we just have to run it under root? Rather sketch, but the question at least exists whether there needs to be an extra step under Linux.

@netizen-837549 Would we just have to change the launch setting to sudo %command%? I'm willing to give it a try once I know how.

Should I buy it right now or wait?

@netizen-837549 There's no situation where running Windows applications as administrator is acceptable either, it's a really big pet peeve of mine. If that becomes the "solution", then it indicates an issue with file permissions.

@VitoScalettaMafia If you're ready to maybe troubleshoot and deal with no radio, no random npc dialog and no enemy gun shot sound

I found that the game, or at least the launcher, seem to think it's running on Windows 8, even when Proton is definitely set to Windows 10. This is a part of the launcher's output when starting the game:

2020-12-14 20:05:40.817 [Information][ (0)] [TID 260][red-prelauncher]: Operating system: Windows 8 6.2 (Build 9200) (IA32)

2020-12-14 20:05:40.818 [Information][ (0)] [TID 260][red-prelauncher]: Platform identification: win8 64-bit, WINE 5.13

I don't know if this matters in any way, but considering only 7 and 10 are officially supported the game thinking it's on 8 could perhaps be an issue.

@albin-engstrom even with the ´--launcher-skip` option?

I attempted memory pool adjustment as outlined https://www.reddit.com/r/cyberpunkgame/comments/kccabx/hey_cd_projekt_red_i_think_you_shipped_the_wrong/

no sudo or su is necessary, in my case the files are user owned. previous commenters are correct about file permissions.

First attempt I set available VRAM to max (6GB for me), this appeared to increase rate of freezing (froze twice in an area that was previously okay to render). I didn't have a whole lot of time to fight with it, so I actually lowered it from the original 3GB to 2.5GB.

I have not done much testing since that last change, but it seemed more stable (no freezes).

I would like to mess around with these values more, but every time it freezes I have to reboot or else I can't relaunch Cyberpunk. Does anybody know how to clean up the processes left behind? If I can just kill a few things after each crash rather than restarting it will greatly improve my ability to test changes rapidly.

I have attempted restarting my X server, which gets me to desktop but I can't launch the game.
ps -aux shows some things still hanging around after a quit or crash, steam seems to detect something as well because the green play button in the library turns into a spinning loading wheel.

I tried killing some processes but couldn't figure out what steam was detecting, and some processes were automatically restarted by steam. If anyone knows how to clean things up so I don't have to waste time going through reboots I'm all ears.

@netizen-837549 The detail where you have to reboot between instances sounds like a reset bug, which those experienced in VFIO are well acquainted with. That would be technically a hardware problem in that case, though not necessarily unsolveable.

What GPU are you using? I most likely won't have any answers for you either way, but I expect that whoever does will need to know.

@ErikReider This is with that option (Edit: And I now tested without it, same result), the option just skips showing the launcher and the need to press "Play" the launcher exe is still started and does it's thing it seems.

The output even mentions that it's skipping the launcher due to the command line option:
2020-12-14 20:26:27.793 [Information][ (0)] [TID 260][red-prelauncher]: Skipping REDlauncher due to commandline options.

I found that the game, or at least the launcher, seem to think it's running on Windows 8, even when Proton is definitely set to Windows 10.

Confirmed, same thing on my machine

I wonder if adding the .exe's to the "Application settings" list in winecfg would do anything

Nope, it doesn't work. When I change default setting to Windows 7 it's detected correctly though. But the game obviously doesn't work

Yeah, I added overrides for REDlauncher.exe and REDprelauncher.exe and it still reports Windows 8.
And changing the global setting to 7 is correctly detected for me too.

Changed all 6 .exe's to "Windows 10" and still says 2020-12-14 20:59:25.168 [Information][ (0)] [TID 208][red-prelauncher]: Operating system: Windows 8 6.2 (Build 9200) (IA32)

When running the command below, it doesn't even mention the Windows version int the ~/cyber.txt file
WINEPREFIX=/media/nvme960Evo/Steam\ Library/steamapps/compatdata/1091500/pfx/ /media/nvme960Evo/Steam\ Library/steamapps/common/Proton\ -\ Experimental/dist/bin/wine64 bin/x64/Cyberpunk2077.exe &> ~/cyber.txt

It's the launcher that creates that output I think, so if the game exe is started directly it may not be created.

Yeah. No luck with the audio when launching the game by the exe

Same audio issues for me.

@guustflater Yeah, sadly this doesn't work (if we did everything correctly)...

Too bad, well hope it's high on the list to fix with a patch. Glad enough that I'm able to play Cyberpunk already, actually expected that it would take over a year

as i understand, this solution create virtual soundcard. on some strange reasons, some native cards not supported by game =\

i tryed my main bluetooth headbhones/hdmi/dp audio/motherboard soundcard/xonar dx... no succes

If I'm not mistaken, someone commented about using Pipewire instead of PulseAudio. Has anyone else tried this?
