When DX12 is on some objects will have black pixelated artifacts appearing around them. I had a similar issue with Deeprock Galactic and updating Mesa using oibaf ppa fixed it. However, it still happens with this game (Both DX12 and Unreal Engine if that matters.) Still happens with Proton-GE too.

Reproduction

Run the game, turn on DX12, reset, turn off Ray Tracing.

Hello @Rhiyo, can you double check your system information and what version of mesa is in use? I'm specifically interested in knowing if it's mesa 21.1.6 or newer, or a mesa main build after https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/commit/1ea156f44c7ce8d6880217ef4d46692cc7ac0219.

I'm having trouble installing the UE4 Prerequisites via Proton:

ue4_prerequisites_issue

ue4_prerequisites_log.txt

Error extracted from screenshot: 0x80070538 - Invalid ACL.

  • Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS
  • Proton 6.3-5

Resolution: The fix for me was to force the use of Proton Experimental.

@kisak-valve glxinfo returns:

OpenGL version string: 4.6 (Compatibility Profile) Mesa 21.3.0-devel (git-d9a4a0a 2021-07-30 hirsute-oibaf-ppa)

Rrbjorklin 2021-08-02 github

The game freezes up for me on almost every single world/region transition. I just get a black screen for a long time and then I finally get this pop up:

steam-hardware.txt

EDIT: Just wanted to add that it takes about 1 minute after starting the game until my controller is picked up and starts working.

The Ascent DX12 has real bad stutters, crashes often

Compatibility Report

  • The Ascent
  • Steam AppID of the game: 979690

System Information

  • GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT (SIENNA_CICHLID, DRM 3.41.0, 5.13.9-051309-generic, LLVM 12.0.1) (0x73bf)
  • Driver/LLVM version: OpenGL renderer string: AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT (SIENNA_CICHLID, DRM 3.41.0, 5.13.9-051309-generic, LLVM 12.0.1)
  • Kernel version: 5.13.9-051309-generic
  • Link to full system information report as https://gist.github.com/eitch/7eac05d3ca61a0c4ba802199df462343
  • Proton version: 6.3 and also tried 6.13-GE-1, 6.14-GE-2, 6.15-GE-2

I confirm:

  • [x] that I haven't found an existing compatibility report for this game.
  • [x] that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available.

Symptoms

Game runs quite alright with DX11, even though it has micro stutters quite continuously. Nothing that is too annoying.

Changing the game to DX12 let's it start, but usually won't allow me to enter a game. The main menu loads, has very high stutters, even though the FPS overlay says i have over 100 FPS-

Reproduction

Start the game, change the driver type to DX12 from DX11 in the graphics settings, restart the game and see the bad stutters.

Nnickistre 2021-08-31 github

I'm seeing similar when running using DirectX 12. The black (and sometimes multi-color) pixelation shows up on edges of most characters in game in Manjaro Linux

Info:

No problems that I can detect when I switch to DirectX 11.

Hhakzsam 2021-11-24 github

Are you still able to reproduce this with a more recent Mesa?

Rrbjorklin 2021-11-24 github

Game seems to work fine under DX12 now and isn't crashing on every world transition either. I have no videos on startup though and I think I did in the past?

  • GPU: RX 480
  • Driver/LLVM version: Mesa 21.2.5-2.fc35
  • Kernel version: 5.14.18-300.fc35
  • Proton version: 6.3-7
Hhakzsam 2021-11-25 github

Anyone with a RDNA1 (Radeon RX 5x) or RDNA2 (Radeon RX 6x) can confirm ?

Eeitch 2021-11-25 github

I've been running The Ascent on my R6800XT and it is running quite well. Sadly no Ray Tracing. I'm using Pop!_OS 21.10 with Kernel 5.15 and kisak-mesa PPA for up to date mesa drivers. Also running DX12

Hhakzsam 2021-11-25 github

Thanks, greatly appreciated.

Sscrewylightbulb 2021-12-03 github

I tried playing this recently using both Proton Experimental (bleeding-edge) and Proton 6.3-8 and in both cases I have a situation where the controller does not work, and the game character ignores the mouse position, only looking in one direction.

Works fine with Proton-GE-21.

Tried with Steam Input enabled and disabled.

I'm on Manjaro KDE. Kernel 5.15. Don't think GPU is relevant here, but it's an RTX 3060Ti.

Vvlur 2022-08-27 github

This game experiences constant random lockups and crashes with my new hardware (AMD Ryzen 5600, RX 6600) to the point that it becomes borderline unplayable. Crashes usually occur during a transition to a new area (elevators, buildings, etc.) but have also happened just pressing the fire button, or in the middle of a cinematic. The video output freezes for a few seconds, and then I am unceremoniously dumped back to the desktop.

OS: Void Linux
Kernel: 5.18.17_1 and 5.18.19_1
Proton Experimental / GE-Proton7-30

No difference with either of the kernels or Proton versions.
