Compatibility Report

Same here, the game doesn't start.

Same for me :(

Switching between DXVK and WINED3D doesn't do anything.

The game launches just fine when testing with original MS dlls (d3d11.dll, d3dx11_43.dll & D3DCOMPILER_47.dll) cp'd to the game's root or system32 directory.

It's possibly related to fixme:d3dx:D3DX11CreateTextureFromMemory not being implemented since the game crashes shortly after this message pops up.

Log file (crashing): GIST

Bug report on WineHQ

Same for me - Ubuntu 20.04

I made an implementation of D3DX11CreateTextureFromMemory on top of the implementation of D3DX11GetImageInfoFromMemory which is still on the mailing list at the moment, but the game still needs native d3dcompiler_47 because the builtin implementation doesn't support compute shader SM5

And it's working! Thank you!

I am having windowing issues with both the latest Proton-GE and regular Proton. Often the cursor is not drawn and the game content is drawn off center.

I only experience this from the second start. I am unsure how this happened. The proton logs display no errors (only about missing openxr and the wrong overlayrenderer in LD (32 vs 64 bit))

EDIT: could anyone tell me what config option I could use to force the game into windowed mode?

EDIT 2: Apparently this is an issue with the 1.1 patch of the game.

Post-patch main menu screen without mouse cursor. I cannot select anything.

Reinstalled the fixes and verified game. Game boots to load screen then crashes to desktop.

FWIW this seems to be an issue with the game itself - the dev rewrote whatever part of the game is handling input devices and it doesn't seem to play nice with Proton and some windows machines. This can be partially worked around by adding CORE_INIT_RI=false to the game's Config.ini file, which according to the dev disables the new raw input system - but I've personally had mouse control issues even with this workaround that weren't present in the initial release of the game.

From my experience, the following happens.
Proton 6.14-GE-2 Works on Nvida gpus, but not AMD. On amd it simply does not launch. No error window either.
Proton 6.3 with protontricks 1434950 d3dcompiler_47 d3dx11_43 would launch, but the game would not register any input and i could not get past the main menu as a result.

@sectoidman thanks! That's worked for me. I got mouse input problems after CORE_INIT_RI=false too, but these problems only occur in the full screen mode, I switched to the maximized borderless window and problems are gone. Game works great now!

Steps I've done:

1. Install the game via steam
2. Select proton 6.3-6 in the game properties
3. Install protontricks & run protontricks 1434950 d3dcompiler_47 d3dx11_43
4. Add CORE_INIT_RI=false to ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/HighFleet/Config.ini
5. Change the window from fullscreen to maximized & borderless in my WM (bspwm)

Can you explain how you did that? Thanks!

You have to compile Wine, it's a long process to explain it here:

https://wiki.winehq.org/Building_Wine

Still need to use winetricks/protontricks for these packages "d3dcompiler_47 d3dx11_43", as per protondb reports. Really want to just play this game without having to use winetricks/protontricks. :/

any update on this?
