Same results on AMD machine. RX6900XT. The trick that made WRC10 launch and play didn´t work either.

This game seems to use the "new" DX Agility SDK. I wonder if installing it into the prefix will make a difference.
Has any other game opted in into this MS stuff?

You can't install it.

You can't install it.

That is too bad... Wonder if dxvk has plans in supporting it since I guess the "shiny new tech" is a moving target for support.

Let's hope!

The Agility SDK error dialog is probably a red herring, since there are other games using it already that work fine. There might be something else going wrong that makes the game think it's running on an old version of windows.

I don't see anything in the prefix that points to wine reporting a different version of windows. The proton log seems to record a crash even before the game starts. I don't really know where to look. Is there any debug steps I can follow?
Already tested noesync, nofsync, gamedrive with same results.

I don't see anything in the prefix that points to wine reporting a different version of windows

Could be just different builds of windows 10, there are a bunch of different ways how games could check for the windows version. For example, there have been commits in the past like this or this that fixed games not starting in the past, it could be something similar here. But this is just a blind guess and i don't know how to properly debug this.

The Agility SDK error dialog is probably a red herring, since there are other games using it already that work fine. There might be something else going wrong that makes the game think it's running on an old version of windows.

The Agility SDK error only happens when Wine is running in Windows 7 mode. Setting it at Windows 10 prevents this error but the game doesn't start regardless.

Can someone help with the next steps for getting this forward

Anyone seen any progress/changes with this? Still can't get it working on latest proton experimental/ge.

it seems nobody is working on it.

The game still doesn't run even with the latest proton experimental which afaik contains this merge https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/2045 which should make the agility work. Perhaps the issue is somewhere else ?

Crashes  on imm32.dll if i see that correctly

It seems like it, I tried to debug it a little bit more, if I set imm32.dll to native the game doesn't even start at all(no crash appearing). Works with imm32 set to builtin(though it crashes it still launches the game/executes the game), but it does seem that the issue lies somewhere there.

Not so sure about that, if you set any dll that any game requires to native while only a build-in version exists, it will immediately crash.

Is there anything I can do?

I don't really see where it fails with imm32.dll though, might be im blind and cant read:

Log with no dll override:
steam-1953520.log

Basically it crashes before starting to do anything at all. Just opens its own crashreporter.

with xinput1_3=n override:
steam-1953520.log

This one seems to get further. Creates the window but fails to load AgilitySDK

359591.302:010c:015c:warn:seh:dwarf_virtual_unwind backtrace: 0x7f67113b8b21: /usr/lib/pressure-vessel/overrides/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnvidia-glvkspirv.so.530.30.02 + 0xdb8b21

Seems like it crashes in the nvidia shader compiler, might be invalid spirv, which would be a vkd3d-proton bug. Can you run it with vulkan validation layers or dump the shaders with VKD3D_SHADER_DUMP_PATH?

Shader dump:
wrcg_shaderdump.zip

im not really sure how do do validation layers? do i need to install vulkan sdk or something?

spirv-val fb2fc08ecc7eafd6.spv

error: line 171: Block '750[%750]' is already a merge block for another header
  %main = OpFunction %void None %3

So it is a dxil-spirv/vkd3d-proton bug. Should be reported upstream, with that shader dump archive.

im not really sure how do do validation layers? do i need to install vulkan sdk or something

On Arch Linux you'd need to install the vulkan-validation-layers package, and run the game with VK_INSTANCE_LAYERS="VK_LAYER_KHRONOS_validation", but I don't think it's necessary anymore for this particular crash.

With the latest vkd3d-proton master + PR (https://github.com/HansKristian-Work/vkd3d-proton/pull/1458) patched on top makes the game running.
Still need WINEDLLOVERRIDES="xinput1_3=n,b" %command%

if anyone wants to try: drop the 64bit dll's into the game folder:

Obey the bringer of light 🥳🫶

Nice! Compiled vkd3d-proton master + that PR and I can get into the game, navigate through the menus etc. Tried to load into a stage and the game froze up though. Did you manage to get in-game @xpander69 ?

Edit; Changed video settings all to low, tried again and got in-game. Seems to run ok-ish on my RTX 3070 / 5900x / 32GB ram at 1440p low, though the games performance isn't great on Windows either it is a fair bit lower here. Doesn't seem to like my knock-off xbox 360 gamepad out of the box, disabling steam input fixed that.

It does crash/freeze up very often and randomly at the moment, seems mostly down to luck if I manage to get into a stage.

Should be enough. Could be some specific Steam Deck bug then. I dont have a Steam Deck to confirm.

Hi!

Ok it crashes after the Nacon Logo Loading at about 12%

Maybe someone else can confirm

cheers 🥳

I hope you didn't forget the WINEDLLOVERRIDES="xinput1_3=n,b" %command% in the launch options.
but yeah other than that PROTON_LOG=1 i guess to see what goes wrong on deck with it

I added these to steam yes.

I think this is the part where it fails for you

not sure if thats it though. maybe flatpak steam issue? or requires PROTON_SET_GAME_DRIVE

Ah, it turns out that file actually was zero size. Removed it and verified. Now the game runs fine it seems

I guess there is no fix for the nvidia gtx 10xx series bad performance.. The game works really good with the fixes suggested above.

Update: somehow the logs didnt get sent.

looks like driver issue. Fills up VRAM maybe?

370.916:0110:013c:warn:vkd3d-proton:d3d12_desc_create_cbv_embedded: Constant buffer desc is NULL.
370.940:0110:0154:warn:vkd3d-proton:vkd3d_allocate_device_memory: Memory allocation failed, falling back to system memory.

The d3d12core changes made it into proton-experimental bleeding edge branch now. So no need to drop dll's anymore.

However i still seem to have loading to stage hang issues.
Its very strange. It hangs every time on first load into the stage after steam client restart. If i dont restart the steam client after the first hang, i can load like 7 stages without issues before it hangs again during loading. Restarting steam and then again hangs on first launch. Could be some nvidia specific issue as i get the Xid 109 errors.
Tried with 525.47.13 drivers and 530.30.02. both with same issues.

PROTON_LOG from the hang (~900MB unzipped)
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Y-9pXhw69B31rEe8vXQSZV4ePyHFx9Jq/view?usp=share_link

I get the exact same issue, except I've only ever managed to load into a stage a few times, out of the many times I have tried, it pretty much always hangs (often my entire system will freeze up for a few seconds as well). Also on Nvidia (3070), not sure if another log would help but can see if I can get one uploaded later today.

I have the same issue also on a 3070ti. It seemingly randomly freezes when loading. I have seen these crashes in many places like when starting wrcg and when loading stages and also when the solo career garage is shown. Dmesg always shows a xid line. Not sure if I should return the card instead. It also crashes when compiling shaders some times.

I would be very very surprised if the card was the issue - I've had my 3070 since release and have had no issues with it but I get the same freeze/crash, as does xpander apparently. If you don't have issues elsewhere with your gpu, I don't see reason to suspect it.

Amazing work by TheMaister. It seems the Xid 109 errors got fixed with this PR: https://github.com/HansKristian-Work/vkd3d-proton/pull/1484

just had 15 stage loadings in a row without any hangs.

build with that: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XSa53Ym7tUHGJr8fo7gxEKt1AUA4yZ3t/view?usp=share_link

With this fix the game don't crash anymore. It still fells quite laggy even though I sometimes have good framerate. But that might be a actual game issue

Massive work and many thanks for the fixes!

Can confirm, no more crashing and freezing with the above fix. I also get not-great performance but this is also true on Windows so that doesn't surprise me.

Hello. Did anyone get it to run on Steam Deck?

Not yet. 😩

So everything is on proton-experimental now. no need to modify/replace dll's
just still needs WINEDLLOVERRIDES="xinput1_3=n,b" %command%

Steam Deck users still seem to have loading to main menu crashes as well as some other 4GB VRAM users (RX580) it seems. So maybe it requires much more VRAM and just nopes out on those systems.

On proton 8 and latest experimental the network communication in the game is broken. Always: An error occurred with the WRC Generations server.

I can confirm this. I haven't been able to debug this yet though. But yeah online leagues/events are broken with proton 8 and experimental 8. Selecting a car makes the connection go into loop and then never connect. All works with proton-experimental 7 branch.

There seems to be other things going on also:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GYiYXGdo_LyRW_eje0j5SKJ6QpHuqzM8/view?usp=share_link

Gist:
https://gist.github.com/Nisse43/97032bbf81108b707fdf5a2a1b56cab2

I don't have the last known version that was working. However First time I upgraded to proton-8 I noticed it did not work, and then later when proton experimental(That I am currently running) was updated I am experiencing it being broken again. So the networking is working for wrcg in proton-7 all versions I have successfully started it with

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="xinput1_3=n,b" %command%

For me the game launches with the above env var set however none of my controllers work. They all show up as "Controller" in the menu (see the screenshot below) and I can't bind any inputs to them.

t300rs (https://github.com/Kimplul/hid-tmff2 driver)
Heusinkveld Ultimate+ pedals
TH8A shifter
ebay arduino based handbrake

Maybe unrelated but interesting:
Per the wine docs the env var above is trying (successfully) to use the native xinput1_3.dll and using the builtin one as a fallback. The fallback of course is the default so it fails if you try to use it.

I have been able to get WRC Generations to work on steam deck with the WINEDLLOVERRIDES="xinput1_3=n,b" %command% launch command. I also added the Ricky Physics mod and it works great. I was able to get my wheel working by doing the following (make sure to do both a and b): If you are on Steam, try to disable Steam Input (in the Steam library, right click on the game, properties, then controller and disable Steam input).

For Logitech or Thrustmaster steering wheels, you can force WRC Generations to use DirectInput, bypassing manufacturer's specific API:
a. In the Menu: Option -> Gameplay -> Configure -> Enable Logitech Wheel API or Enable Thrustmaster Wheel API
b. In the %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\WRCG\UserSettings.cfg file by settings Engine.Input.EnableTMSDK = 0, Engine.Input.EnableLogiSDK = 0

Now I am trying to install Linux reshade to work on Steam deck using https://github.com/kevinlekiller/reshade-steam-proton. It is not working and I get a game load up error. Does anyone use reshade on the steam Linux OS for WRCG? This looks like a great upgrade: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3293220256
