Compatibility Report

In addition to that, the game doesn't launch at all on Intel Arc. I don't see anything obvious in the log that would make it conclude DX12 isn't supported.

The game starts, I can play several minutes of the introduction but when it reaches a certain part before I can control the character, the image freezes and only the audio is heard.

I have to force the game to close since no error message appears, it just freezes.

@JCDentonCore I couldn't reproduce the issue locally. Please try with the stock kernel and mesa, and try with proton 9. If the issue persists, upload new logs please.

No, same issue with proton 9 and kernel stock 6.9 from arch linux, mesa 24.2.0-devel(git-2740d92e3d)

I am using KDE 6.1 beta now, before I used version 6.0.4 stable, always under wayland, never try to start and test the game with Xorg

I'll try to try a session in xorg to see if there is a difference.

Next week I will finish building my new PC, keeping only the RX 7900 XT graphics, we will see if there are any changes, I will keep you informed, thanks for your hard work!

Anyone else seeing weird black square artifacts particularly on NPC hair? It sometimes also appears on waterfalls.

Here's a video showing what I mean:

It even seems to appear on Senua's face due to her tiny skin hairs that dot her face. It is less obvious than the previous example, but it still manifests as weird white shimmering all over her face:

Another issue that I am experiencing is poor performance when playing Hellblade 2 after resuming from sleep. I get around 39fps compared to the usual 45-50fps when I play right after a fresh boot. This is reproducible every time with Nvidia 555.42.02 drivers with Kwin Wayland + Explicit sync patch. No other game seems to exhibit the same performance degradation. When this happens, GPU usage hovers arouind 75 percent instead of 97-99.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Restart computer
2. Play Hellblade 2
3. Note performance
4. Quit Hellblade 2
5. Suspend system
6. Play Hellblade 2 again
7. Notice a 5-10fps drop

I gave the intro a shot with RX 7600 and wasn't able to reproduce any freezes with that, at least, after testing Mesa 24.0.8 and 2740d92e3d, x11 and Wayland, 6.9.2-arch1-1 and 6.9.2-zen1-1-zen, and different graphics presets.

Maybe it's a problem with the nvidia drivers, in mesa 24.2 devel it doesn't happen when activating VSR but I do notice a slight flickering in certain parts of the hair, only in photo mode.

What I do have is a serious problem with mesa 24.1, part of the mapping disappears, I updated mesa to the development version 24.2 devel and it was solved.

I have updated my PC and now I can play, the freezing error I had before was with a PC from thousands of years ago, so maybe it was a thing of the i3 processor or the low amount of RAM, although it is curious that the game always stops It would freeze at the same point and the game would run.
