Hi, using Proton-Experimental [bleeding-edge] fixed the initial crash that also used to happen for me.

Also, after the logo's screen, the following error happen:

Using VKD3D_DISABLE_EXTENSIONS=VK_NV_low_latency2 in the game's launch options on Steam fixed it, and now it works normally.

Now is just to wait for the open beta to be properly released.

Using VKD3D_DISABLE_EXTENSIONS=VK_NV_low_latency2 in the game's launch options on Steam fixed it, and now it works normally.

From what I understand this is a driver issue. I created an issue for it as well in the vkd3d-proton repo, though, if it can be fixed there.

Game is crashing KDE Plasma on my end, and flickers in fullscreen. Same issues encountered on Dragons Dogma 2 since recent update, been unable to find a fix.

EDIT: Unlike DD2, running with Gamescope seems to fix the issue.

Hi, I can confirm that. Constant flickering and KDE crashing

Confirming the findings noted in https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/8206#issuecomment-2450622534. Requiring use of self-built bleeding-edge, error after Re-Engine's splash, fixed with VKD3D_DISABLE_EXTENSIONS=VK_NV_low_latency2. Linux Mint 22, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 550.120, Linux 6.8.0-48-generic x86_64

Slightly different results for me, I had to switch to Proton Bleeding Edge in Steam, which allowed the game to start and compile the shaders and reach the "could not connect to servers" screen (as expected since the servers aren't up for another 4-5 hours) without any errors, no need to change any launch options. I'm also using KDE/Plasma and not seeing any flickering.

I'm on Bazzite 41, Linux bazzite 6.11.5-307.bazzite.fc41.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Mon Oct 28 15:13:19 UTC 2024 x86_64 GNU/Linux, with Nvidia driver 565.57.01 (current beta driver I believe, I guess the default on Bazzite, I haven't intentionally changed that) on an RTX 3080 Ti.

Using VKD3D_DISABLE_EXTENSIONS=VK_NV_low_latency2 in the game's launch options on Steam fixed it, and now it works normally.

Tried this plus the bleeding edge experimental, with Void Linux, NVIDIA 550.127 drivers. Still crashes with the same error after RE logo.

EDIT: I just forgot to put %command% lol, fixed. It boots fine now.

My game renders the menu HUD, but not any 3D. Its just a black screen with HUD.

Disabling the upscaller fixed it.
Both AMD FSR 3 and XeSS dont work.

Disabling the upscaller fixed it. Both AMD FSR 3 and XeSS dont work.

Played around with the settings. FSR 3 does work, but only when I set the upscaling mode to "AMD Native AA". It was also the only mode that let me see what I was doing in the character creation menu.

Experimental - bleeding edge/AMD RX6500

Once in the main game, the graphics are, to say the least, "not so nice":

Broken textures everywhere. Proton Experimental bleeding edge. NV 3060Ti, Driver version 560.35.03/565.57.01.

Can confirm that I'm having the exact same issue on the same drivers with an RTX 3080.

Adding to the above images, these aren't texture problems they appear to be widespread vertex/geometry shading problems. For the near-terrain geometry turning the appropriate settings down to low gets the terrain to actually appear on Nvidia cards (565.57.01). The most notable difference between the settings that I could notice at least by eye was possible displacement mapping which may have been disabled on low settings. Other effects that cause heavy artifacting are fur shading, and animation breaking for any skeletal meshes they are attached to, which can lead to detached limbs and vertex explosions in the most extreme cases.

If there's anything you would like me to try to grab such as API traces please let me know.

Can confirm the same artifacting and performance issues on an RTX 3090.

Tried on Proton Experimental Bleeding Edge as well as GE 9-17

Setting that option to down did fix the terrain artifacts.

Running into an issue where game the crashes and completely locks up my system. Running Arch 6.11.5-arch1-1, AMD RX6800XT, mesa 1:24.2.6-1, proton bleeding edge, and running the game in gamescope. The crashes seem to happen randomly, sometimes after 5 minutes, the longest being after 30 minutes. From the proton log I'm getting a VK_ERROR_DEVICE_LOST. I've removed vk_image_aspect warning lines from the log as it seemed to be generating them every frame. The original log was 500MB.
steam-3065170.log

I also experienced really bad artifacting and performance issues with RX6500XT and Proton Experimental, GE 9-16, and GE 9-17 on Ubuntu 22.04

I also had the beta completely crash my computer, below is a cut from my journal.

After some further testing I was also able to get a similar crash in another game (SCP:5K) using vkd3d. The only difference between the two is in SCP:5K the system would soft recover eventually.

I can confirm both @N4gtan and @Doomguy1364 Issue on my end, The game will sometimes start to stutter so much that it will freeze my computer. One thing I had notice that repeats is that before it freezes, my monitor goes completely black and then the pc freezes, audio keeps playing and I'm forced to hit reset button, no way to recover. (Could this be maybe a GPU leak issue)

The most worrying part is the issue not being able to be properly fixed before the beta ends, hopefully capcom ends up extending the time period for it cuz even on the windows side it's rough.

Can confirm the terrain issues reported, even with all settings turned down to the absolute lowest. I agree that it appears to be an issue with terrain "chunks" having their vertices... misplaced. Gameplay objects - particles, characters, decorations, etc. - appear to be unaffected. Also, it might just be my system configuration specifically, but I'm not getting menu effects or certain dialogue.

Like with others, I had to use VKD3D_DISABLE_EXTENSIONS=VK_NV_low_latency2 to get the game passed the opening logos. Based on similar experiences I've had trying to get Monado working, I'm going to guess that this is a problem with NVIDIA either poorly implementing or outright not implementing features in their Linux drivers.

I managed to catch AMD GPU hang on Steam Deck:

For anyone trying to troubleshoot the terrain/vertex issue, the setting which seems to affect it is called "Surface Quality", and it appears ONLY when accessing graphics options via the main menu.

If you access the graphics settings menu while loaded into the world, this option will not appear.

@minecraft2048 The sdma0 ring hanging is most likely unrelated to the game, that issue should go away if you update to SteamOS 3.6.

(To be clear, this is a different issue compared to the other GPU hangs where for example "ring gfx_0.0.0" times out. These gfx ring timeouts might not be fixed in 3.6, but the SDMA timeout is.)

I get identical amdgpu crash (page fault in thread vkd3d_queue) as https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/8206#issuecomment-2451340128. Graphics freeze after a few minutes while changing settings in main menu. Sound was still playing normally (not frozen or looping).

I can recover the system using Alt-SysRq r e i to kill Xorg, but after such crash it's safer to reboot anyway.

I'm having the same issue. Game crashes after a certain amount of time, be it 5-30min. Engaging the monster seems to speed up the crash. It doesnt lock up my desktop, its able to recover from the crash.

Some of comments about GPU Reset, soft recovery is most likely not related to the game as mentioned. Due to Kernel reports that shows those problems occurring on other instances.

It seems the newest kernels (6.10.5+) have this problem setting up Memory Clock, Boost, Power Capacity way beyond the specifications. I myself had to rollback Linux Kernel to stop from random AMDGPU resets/recovery, it was happening playing WoW and I do have a good machine that would not warrant such problems. But most of them I can only say for AMDGPU users like me.

Like this Issue in the Kernel/AMDGPU Gitlab

I am also reporting that updating to the new MESA (24.2.6-arch1-1 which I did couple of hours ago), and also playing on Sway the game is running smooth! Unlike yesterday at launch which was a stutter mess and random crashes.

Did not upgraded Kernel as of yet due to my comment above.

Not saying you're incorrect, but there definitely has to be something deeper than just a power overdraw/clockrate issue; I was able to play through the entire Silent Hill 2 remake on kernel 6.11.5 without any crashes.

The game maxed out my GPU for the entire 16 hours I played it, during two long play sessions of about 8 hours each, there wasn't a single GPU hang nor crash of the game itself.

You are completely correct, but we do have different GPUs, if I upgrade my Kernel back to latest it is set up as 7900XTX, which are way beyond my actual GPU which is Pulse 7900XT.

Both our cases are anecdotal but I wanted to leave the possible cause here, what may work for me, may not work for you, but if it helps one person out there, then its worth.

Good hunting friend, may we cross paths in Hope.

Does somebody knows if there is some issue with VRAM usage with Proton or something?

Game settings says game should by around 6.64Gb and some other stuff is filling 1.06GB with a total usage of 7.70Gb but MangoHud is reporting 11.7 GiB Vram usage...

I know that unused ram is wasted ram, but I'm not sure if that happens here too

also just got this error, though it was actually ingame. Will try that fix, had only come here to report the error myself, and report back
EDIT: Getting a playable game

[#8206 (comment)](https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/8206#issuecomment-2451484663)

I had this GPU reset problem on my system too (XFX 7900XTX tested on kernels from 6.1 to 6.11), and using corectrl to force specified clocks made the system completely stable.
Give it a try :)

Yet Wilds gives
kernel: amdgpu 0000:03:00.0: amdgpu: ring gfx_0.0.0 timeout, but soft recovered
and is the only game that gives this error, so it could be something specific to Wilds.

Also I noticed that GPU reset comes sooner as graphics settings go higher, and a reset can come within a few seconds on Ultra.

Thanks, though it still crashes on my end.

It's crashing on my machine as well.
It used to crash the entire OS, but now it's only crashing the game itself, sometimes KDE. I haven't seen anything that can relate to memory leak or temperature problem.
I don't think I have done much to explain why it doesn't crash the OS anymore though.

I'm using vulkan-radeon latest version. I used to use amdvlk, but changing for either of them doesn't seem to have any impacts.

I had several issues, most of them have been resolved :

• [x] Setting FSR on will display a black screen, except for the GUI which is unaffected.
  • "Solved" by setting the upscaling mode on "AMD Native AA"
  • Further solved by this PR on vkd3d
• [x] The terrain's vertices are unhinged and rendering sudden spikes, holes, walls and whatnot.
  • "Solved" by setting the terrain quality to "Low"
• [ ] Streaming the game on Discord (well, Vesktop) will severely impact the performances, and even crash the game at the second the screenshare is active. Streaming the monitor itself has the same effect.
  • It seems to be related to radeon-vulkan actually, as I don't remember having such problem with amdvlk.
• [ ] The game will crash after any period from 5 to 30 minutes
  • What I tried so far :
    • Using LACT and similar tools to impose another profile, limit the power consumption and GPU clocking, to no avail (tried 2430MHz and 2106MHz, without seemingly any impacts)
    • Using Proton Experimental, both stable and bleeding-edge releases, using Proton GE 9.15 to 9.18, without much difference, except older Proton versions might end in a crash on game boot.

I'm looking forward to test with Mesa 24.2.6, as well as for updates on Proton Experimental.

Still, it sounds promising to me, seeing how the game is fluid otherwise, and demanded little tweaking to get it to boot to actual gameplay.

Former bug about the terrain vertices rendering

Former FSR-induced black screen bug

Edit :
Small precision about the streaming thingy. It only makes a huge drop in fps when the game is in focus, AND when it's in fullscreen. When out of focus or windowed, it runs just fine.

Edit 2 :
Forgot to say ! I had somewhat of a similar experience with Hitman 3 a few days ago, the game crashing the whole OS after 30-60m of gameplay. This might be related, meaning it wouldn't be specific to some Capcom tech.

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/8206#issuecomment-2452177205

Yes, I spoke a bit too soon. Same symptoms and tests, game crashes after 5 mins beyond. But no graphical glitch by any means.

The crashing seems very similar to how it was in Dragons Dogma 2.
After a seemingly random amount of time hyprland just died completely.
Fortunately amdvlk didn't suffer from that so I just played the rest of DD2 with it.

I'm gonna try playing on the lowest possible settings, windowed mode, and see how far it goes.

By the way, I just found out about that NVidia Reflex setting which seemingly forces GPUs to overclock, or something like that ? I don't know. Thing is, it was activated by default, and it can't be good on AMD hardware :eyes:

Let's see how it goes

Edit : It went quite well for a while, but eventually, it just crashed. So no chance on this side either.

Using gamescope I was able to configure the game, but only got to the title screen. Right after that my whole screen freezes and if I don't stop it, my GPU crashes. I can reproduce this with Proton Experimental and GE.

Update: switching to amdvlk cannot help. It crashed again.

I switched from radeon to amdvlk. The full screen mode freezes and only window mode works. However, it looks somehow more smoother.

No crash during my play time. I didn't play it for a long while. Not sure if amdvlk solves the crashing issue or not.

I switched from mesa to amdvlk and while it did let me play for longer, I still had a total system lock up/crash on the chatacabra fight, just more like 5 minutes in instead of 2 minutes in. I did not use MangoHUD or gamemode when trying it out.

The crash manifested as all my monitors going black for a second then they come back but nothing updates, no sound, couldn't do anything except hard reboot.

All settings were set to high, on a 1440p monitor. Turning Surface Quality to Low made the weird graphical glitching in the environment go away but the crash remained.

Switching to amdvlk did resolve some issues but caused brand new ones, it actually let me change settings and stopped plasma from crashing, but it introduced a lot of new graphical artifacts, and the crashes are less frequent but instead of just closing the game, they now freeze my whole system.

Also getting crashes, seeing GPU hangs, as well as one system lock-up within 30 minutes of playing. Running high settings FSR3 at 1440p.

Had to switch Surface Quality to low.

I had similar issues on Exoprimal and DD2. This is some RE Engine thing.

The game keeps capturing the cursor even if not being the active window. I'm not sure if that's a game issue or a Linux issue.

I'm having severe artifacts problems with this game, models either disappearing for a few seconds or polygons being stretched into oblivion (had to do the first hunt completely blind because the screen was covered by just stretched pollies from the monster, but then game crashed after killing it so lost even that little bit of progress as well).
Also experiencing frequent crashes. I tried recording the game but it just makes it crash even faster (in the first minute or so), here's the few mins I was able to record.

I'm on nvidia and tried both driver versions 560.35.03 and the newest 565.57.01, as well as proton-experimental bleeding edge and proton-ge 9.18.

I also had this, but after loading latest bleeding-edge now, it just crashes now (instead?) after ~1-2min.

Been messing with this all evening here. Couldn't launch at first, until I tried Proton Experimental with bleeding edge. GE-Proton9-18 was worse, some models didn't render. Had to switch surface quality to low to get the ground to render properly, which can only be done in the settings from the main menu. Random polygons would still appear. Then I was stuck with occasional freezing, every 5-30 minutes my whole computer would freeze, before recovering after some 30 seconds, but the game would be stuck, although sound would be playing normally. A warning from the Kernel would appear in my log:
kernel: NVRM: Xid (PCI:0000:01:00): 109, pid=352215, name=MonsterHunterWi, Ch 000000ca, errorString CTX SWITCH TIMEOUT, Info 0x5c0c2

This is where I am now, lowering everything to the absolute minimum, with FSR on ultra performance seemed to actually improve stability, letting me play an hour before freezing, enough to actually do some content. After that, next attempt did not end in a freeze, but the random polygons would get so intense my whole screen started flickering leaving me unable to see anything. At first just whenever I looked in a specific direction, but soon it appeared no matter where I was looking and I could only navigate by minimap. Here's a not so helpful picture, as it doesn't convey how awful the flickering really was, but at least you can see how impossible it was to tell what was actually going on.

I don't know what about the settings actually made a difference (Just FSR?) or if it was even just a fluke. Out of 2 runs, it did not cause a lockup within 30 minutes.

Whatever this crash is, it seems to only affect AMD GPU's, also no video quality configuration seems to affect the behavior. I didn't test with gamescope but I also don't expect anything different.

The way to reproduce it is to pass enough in-game time, and then move the camera (technically, is that something that wasn't in frame now becomes in frame, but moving the camera usually achieve the same results).

Hello im quite new to linux and i have the freeze and audio issue already described here as well.
Game works for like 5-15 mins and then goes into a full freeze for me although I still hear the sound and my friends talking on TS3 and they are also hearing me, my display is completely frozen and does not allow me to click on anything hence I have to restart my PC everytime that happens.

So I guess somehow the GPU context breaks?

Here's a log from another crash. I removed all the warning logs about VK plugins that fill almost the entire file, like vk_image_aspect_flags_from_d3d12 and d3d12_pipeline_state_init_graphics_create_info, and truncated to get only the logs starting from the second the game froze.
It was a complete OS crash, this time, by the way.

This block specifically sounds important, as it could point out to an issue with Mesa :

I've found several issues on some other games/unrelated projects that may point out that there are issues with tensors calculation or smth. So I guess, FSR may be problematic ? idk how it works, i'm just linking words together with my poor knowledge :eyes:

This might be worth trying, too :
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/2496

Update : I could get almost an entire hour of gameplay, yipeee. But it crashed eventually, even ith that AMD_DEBUG thingy. Game was on High settings, FSR disabled.

if you are using amd gpu
you can try to use RADV_DEBUG=syncshaders with latest proton experimental bleeding edge

This at least got me out of a ten-minute crash, even at the expense of a considerable fps drop.

I can finally play the game normally :)

Aside from running the game at 20fps, it didn't prevent it from crashing 10 minutes in.

I was able to finally finish the doshaguma fight with this... but it wasn't worth it lol. It was running at 40fps the whole time with frame generation ON and all settings on lowest, so it felt and looked absolutely terrible. I also can't say for sure this command stopped the crash because previously I was able to go 15-20 minutes running around exploring and stuff without a crash, then it would just crash randomly. This was abotu 20 minutes also. But first test seems like it works - I won't be doing more testing with that though because it feels awful haha

8206 comment

I'm sorry I couldn't help, I tried to tell you more about my other settings
spec
archlinux with mesa-git
rx 7900xtx

1. Use windowed mode (this also means turning off VRR)
2. Turn off vertical sync
3. Turn off NVIDIA Reflex

I just got through the first chapter and am trying out the multiplayer

I was able to finally finish the doshaguma fight with this... but it wasn't worth it lol. …..

I have to turn off frame generation . FSR 3 only.
low fps isn’t good with it …

I tried it with and without... it felt about the same either way haha. I think 20fp is going to feel bad regardless of generation or not sadly :P

This seemed to help, as I've been able to play for much longer (although with fairly poor performances). But I eventually hit the same issue:

This seemed to help, as I've been able to play for much longer (although with fairly poor performances). But I eventually hit the same issue:
kernel logs

One of the odder solutions I found was to build a debug version of vkd3d-proton, dump those DLLs in the game folder, and put RADV_DEBUG=syncshaders VKD3D_CONFIG=breadcrumbs WINEDLLOVERRIDES="d3d12,d3d12core=n,b" %command% in the launch options. For whatever reason, this has fully prevented driver and game crashes for me, at the cost of some occasional severe stuttering and performance weirdness.

I tried starting the game after uninstalling everything driver related except mesa and xf86-video-amdgpu drivers, running on proton experimental.

The game got to the stage the stage where it tries to connect and then crashed my CPU

Show something about failing to set up vulkan before the crash

This at least got me out of a ten-minute crash, even at the expense of a considerable fps drop.

Can also verify that this works but with big emphasis on fps drops. I had to put everything on lowest and got 30-45 FPS in a hunt. With all the settings at lowest the visual clarity was awful so while it was playable it wasn't very fun :sweat_smile:

Replying to https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/8206#issuecomment-2452926521

Issue isn't FSR but the game doing some weird things with sparse mappings apparently. The crashes happen with or without fsr. There's an issue on the mesa tracker that the vkd3d Dev opened on it. https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/12103

Tldr... Beta be a beta

Just wanna share regarding polygons going everywhere (which seems like it might be Nvidia gpus only) and game freezing within ~30 minutes of starting.

So it seems restarting my computer makes both of these problems temporarily go away if I have my settings set to minimum (though my specs are not ideal for this so others may be able to use higher.) I am also using AMD fsr 3 with AMD Native AA mode (not sure if there's a difference between this, the intel alternative, or no upscaling with AA).
Doing this, I've been able to play 2 long sessions (2.5h and 1.5h) without any major graphical artifacts, though they both eventually ended with the familiar freeze. I might test later to see if higher settings cause it to freeze sooner or have artifacts.

This was with proton experimental bleeding edge, though GE 9-17/GE 9-18 worked about the same for me in previous testing. Oddly the workaround with UAV compression doesn't seem to work for me so render scale and upscaling are still broken.
Another thing with the polygon artifacts, it seems to deteriorate more over time, affecting fur or similar dynamic parts more often. It'll just start with a part of one creature, then as time goes on it happens to more and more creatures/sections (including the player model). Increasing the model quality setting temporarily resets most if not all such artifacts, though they typically come back quickly for me.

with RADV_DEBUG=syncshaders & latest proton experimental, I'm still crashing just as often, but now with worse frames :p

a slight difference, the first time it hung, it recovered, which it had never done before, but then my entire OS had to be restarted when it happened again a few minutes later (as was happening before)

I was able to hunt all the available monsters on the first day.
Solo hunting. Base camp online features work but did not test party hunting.

Dunes, bushes and other foliage cause some graphical artefacts.
Needed to turn surface quality (from main menu only) and ambient occlusion down for being able to see in front of me but some glitches still remain.

Certain areas cause performance hits. Playing with max settings (minus the previosly mentioned) and 2160p resolution.

Hi, using Proton-Experimental [bleeding-edge] fixed the initial crash that also used to happen for me.

Also, after the logo's screen, the following error happen:

Using VKD3D_DISABLE_EXTENSIONS=VK_NV_low_latency2 in the game's launch options on Steam fixed it, and now it works normally.

Now is just to wait for the open beta to be properly released.

Worked for me, thank you!

Monster Hunter Wilds Benchmark did not crash my GPU, even though the first beta did crash my GPU frequently.
This is obviously no guarantee for the full game to run well.
In the previous beta I had to use performance crippling launch options such as "OFF_RADV_DEBUG=syncshaders" and really reduce my resolution to just play long enough to finish the available content (with multiple restarts).

Proton Experimental [bleeding-edge]

I ran the benchmark twice with Graphics Preset Ultra (FSR Quality, RT off, Frame-Gen off) to make sure the first one wasn't a fluke:

I would like to report though that I am unable to enable Ray Tracing - the setting is simply greyed out and not configurable:

I tried launching the benchmark with "STEAM_DECK=0" too and the setting remained non-configurable.

The game should know that I'm not on a Steam Deck, since it knows my CPU and GPU by name (and shows it during the benchmark, as well as in the results screen). It also shows 24 GB VRAM in the settings menu, which the Steam Deck would not show.

Restarting the desktop manager brings up the system again. This also happened in the previous beta tests.

@braiam That change is already in Proton Experimental (bleeding-edge branch) so you can give it another go.

I had to test myself as I have the EXACT same set up as you; Alias, the benchmark does crash my GPU. I am only using regular proton experimental, so I assume there's some sort of fix in the bleeding-edge version of proton that isn't in the main build yet.

~~Is the lastest bleeding-edge branch of Proton Experimental include the fixes. https://github.com/HansKristian-Work/vkd3d-proton/pull/2329?~~

Edit:1 ran again with high setting. the workaround is working. but still crash if vram usage is more than the card's.

Just chipping in with my experience as another data point...
I had crashes every minute or so when beta 1 was happening. I've been able to run the benchmark tool 3 or 4 times now. But I do have a new PC (same GPU though) so it might be that I'm not getting them as frequently.

Tested with both proton experimental and ge-proton 9-23. GE gave marginally better results in multiple benchmark runs, both stable for the period I ran them.

I expect the CPU is doing better (my previous build was a Ryzen 3900XT) and that I'll still get crashes but less frequently. I'll try some extended benchmark loops tomorrow. Hopefully this is something that will be resolved during beta 2 or sooner now that we have the benchmark access :)

For anyone, try to turn OFF Steam game recording when running this benchmark/game, for some reason it tanks performance here.

FIY the second beta will be the same build as the first beta essentially, so the performance will be worse than the benchmark, if that makes sense

Did you try stable or non-bleeding edge.

Everything works fine in the benchmark tool except for the framegen. I have tried many presets (with or without FSR, lowest or ultra, several different screen refresh rates, Proton Experimental or GE) with success and framegen seems to be the only option that consistently crashes the game. I only had a run out of 10 with it enabled that finished without crashing.

CPU : AMD Ryzen 9 7900X
GPU : AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT
Driver : Mesa 24.3.4-arch1.1 (LLVM 19.1.7) stable

Maybe this information could be of use, but other games with FSR built-in framegen like Starfield do not crash.

With Proton Experimental I was only able to complete the benchmark by switching down to high graphics settings (from Ultra) and disabling frame generation. After switching to Proton Experimental bleeding-edge, I was able to complete the benchmark with both ultra and high graphics settings, and both with FG enabled or not. Whatever magic there is in bleeding-edge seems to have worked.

Did you try stable or non-bleeding edge.

i think i fixed it
swapped off of nvidia-open-dkms and onto nvidia-open and its working now

but in response to your question, i had tried stable, hotfix and non-bleeding edge and they were all giving me a black screen before

It seems the latest build of Experimental fixed the crash when using framegen. Thank you very much !

My game launches but after selecting the language the game crashes/laggs to an unusable state with a black screen and only the cursor showing.

(Sorry about missing Kernel and GPU Driver, I'm at work atm and can't check versions)

Benchmark: No freezes after switching to Proton Experimental-Bleeding Edge. I'm getting around 19600 Points with High Settings and Frame Generation on Balanced, with an average FPS of 115. Drops into the low 80s and even 70s during the beginning of the second scene. But it does run, and for more than one pass as well, so I'm hopeful for the open beta tomorrow.
I think my CPU might be bottlenecking, since I'm still on AM4. FPS and Score don't change much when going to Ultra.

I'm still getting some vertex artifacting in the desert after the scene with the chatacabra. Same setup as my original post.
Performance is good otherwise. Getting 20k points, 58fps avg using high settings, dlss4 performance.
I did update the dlss dlls to use dlss4.

Was actually able to play the beta this time with no crashes. Without bleeding edge, I would get a total freeze (audio stills plays but nothing graphical would happen, couldn't even switch to tty, had to hard reboot). Didn't notice any graphical artifacts and FPS was reasonably stable at 60 (capped) though it did dip to around 45 or so in some fights. Playing at 1440p. Frame generation was turned off.

Can play alright, performance is shotty at best. Game crashes after about 10-15 minutes, I've played around with the settings quite a bit as well (I am not using frame gen, as that insta crashes my game). I got some insane graphical artifacting, don't really know why, but ONLY fighting the Doshaguma will cause the artifacting (or just looking at it after a few minutes). I've included all my crash reports if that is of any help.

Game launches fine, the UI loads but nothing 3D renders. After loading into game everything is black except for UI elements. I've tried several different launch options, different Proton versions, changing pretty much everything in graphics settings, and I can't find anyone with my issue or a possible solution. I've attached proton logs + screenshot showing my issue.

My mistake I should've included I tried VKD3D_CONFIG=disable_uav_compression, both FSR & Intel XeSS are borked as soon as I disable them rendering in the background works.

Update: Bleeding edge + VKD3D_CONFIG=disable_uav_compression worked. Even frame gen works, turn controller vibration off or you'll get really bad stuttering.

Crashes seems to match the timing of a pagefault GCVM_L2_PROTECTION_FAULT_STATUS, whatever this may means.

I will probably tweak settings and keep testing for the beta duration

Edit 1:
Tried with Proton Experimental Bleeding Edge and VKD3D_CONFIG=disable_uav_compression and had a 20 minutes+ session with upscaling and frame gen without a crash. Had a lot of artifacts but I mostly did not notice them unless while actively looking for them.

Proton Experimental-Bleeding Edge

Just tried the Beta and was able to play for a few hours, so the issue with it just completely crashing immediately does seem to be fixed with Proton Experimental Bleeding Edge.
Frame Generation still doesn't work though, since it requires Upscaling, and upscaling makes it so nothing gets rendered (except the menus).
That DID work in the benchmark though, so hopefully it will work in the base game as well.

@NTrixner
add VKD3D_CONFIG=disable_uav_compression %command% to launch option to fix upscaling.
This was added to vkd3d workaround when open beta 1 then removed shortly after. https://github.com/HansKristian-Work/vkd3d-proton/pull/2184 https://github.com/HansKristian-Work/vkd3d-proton/pull/2203
as the workaround is not need for the benchmark. I doubt the full game will need it.

You are an absolute lifesaver, that fixes the issue and now I'm getting ~100fps even at main camp. Thank you!

This is a Beta issue not a proton issue, FSR works fine on the Benchmark as does Frame Generation. The Beta build is older and uses a much older version of FSR that doesnt seem to be implemented well at the point this build was forked from the main code base. It has black screen issues and abysmal ghosting which simply arent there on the benchmark.

For me it's an amdgpu timeout:

What I found is that after some recent update the driver is detecting a max clock much higher than expected (2639 vs 2454). Manually setting max clock seems to have resolved my issue.

Update: Still crashing even under-clocked.

Has anyone had any luck with the beta relaunch being able to create or join sessions.
Im on the latest ProtonGE (Not Bleeding-Edge) & ive tried experimental, but I am not able to join or have friends join me.
The game itself connects to the server just fine and you can load into 100 player lobbies, but you are stuck playing so due to a " unable to join/create session" error

Currently i can play for around 2 minutes before the game crashing and often taking the whole DE (Hyprland) with it.

I was able to play with others just fine, both through sending an SOS flare in my own quest or through joining other players' quests in-progress. I was playing on Proton Experimental bleeding-edge.

I'll have to find a way to get the logs, but a friend's Linux Mint 22.1 system with AMD Ryzen 5 7600X and RX 7700XT, and we've determined 'sprinting' seems to cause their crashes. The Suggestion for FSR fixing did work, but even with bleeding-edge, it doesn't appear to resolve the crashing problems. Using a controller also does not resolve the problem (in case it was related to the desktop environment having some hidden binding we weren't aware of).

For anyone running an AMD Graphics card, here are my findings.

Kernels:

• No difference in stability between kernels. Tested on the Cachy (forgot version), Xanmod (6.12.9), Zen (6.13.1) and normal 6.12.12

Mesa Version

• 24.3.2 seems to have ~4-7% increase in FPS over 24.3.2? However a few users also report that 24.3.2 causes a crash.

Proton Version

• TKG Proton: Doesn't work. Immediate crash on launch.
• Proton Experimental - Bleeding Edge: Worked until I updated ~ 1 hr ago, now it causes the game to get stuck on a grey screen
• ProtonGE9-23: Works consistently on my system.
• ProtonGE9-22: Very likely that this version is unstable for MHWilds. On a different system, I observed that GE9-22 would immediately crash upon loading the initial Chatacabra fight, and was immediately fixed by switching to GE9-23.

Common Bugs
FSR Upscaling not working (Beta)

• Seems to work with ProtonGE9-23 / Proton Experimental when you set the launch option VKD3D_CONFIG=disable_uav_compression. Be sure to set Upscaling Mode to AMD Native AA.
• Works without the launch options in the benchmark for me.

FSR Framegen doesn't work / causes crash (Beta & Benchmark)

• I kind of have it working on the lastest Proton Experimental Bleeding Edge. There are some very noticeable artifacts, but it feels smooth enough to be worth it.
• Hasn't crashed yet, will report back if it does.

Grey Screen on launch (Beta)

• For me, removing mangohud from the launch options fixed it.
• If that fails, try ProtonGE9-23.

Game doesn't launch (Benchmark & Beta)

• If you are using gamescope, try launching without.
• Otherwise, its probably related to your proton version (again, GE9-23 works best for me) and/or your graphics driver versions.

Desktop Environment crashes (Beta & Benchmark)

• This just seems to happen, I haven't found a way to fully fix it.
• Enabling FSR Frame Generation will make it happen faster.
• There is a issue on the Mesa Gitlab tracking this issue, but it hasn't had any correspondence from the team.

Other

• Steam launch option VKD3D_DEBUG=none was basically required for debugging on the benchmark (not required for beta). Otherwise, your logs would be filled with debug warnings.
• Hyprland 0.47.x causes a graphical bug, where the desktop/wallpaper flickers. Reverting to 0.46.2 resolved the issue.
• GPU Dropouts seem to be common, anyone saying their DE fails, or their screen freezes before being sent to their DM is likely experiencing a GPU dropout.
  • The GPU dropouts in journalctl -p 3 look like this Feb 07 23:32:24 viceroy kernel: amdgpu 0000:03:00.0: amdgpu: ring gfx_0.0.0 timeout, but soft recovered

Crashes are reduced for me with bleeding edge but I still ran into a couple, seemingly when under high load/after the game has been open for a while. Sometimes it's just the game, sometimes it's the whole Plasma session including the discord call I'm in.

I'll have to find a way to get the logs, but a friend's Linux Mint 22.1 system with AMD Ryzen 5 7600X and RX 7700XT, and we've determined 'sprinting' seems to cause their crashes. The Suggestion for FSR fixing did work, but even with bleeding-edge, it doesn't appear to resolve the crashing problems. Using a controller also does not resolve the problem (in case it was related to the desktop environment having some hidden binding we weren't aware of).

While i disagree with the idea of running Mint on new hardware considering it tends to lag behind substantially, you would be better served to not guess what the issue is and see if perhaps running newer kernel,mesa,etc. might help. Assuming mint isnt building their own mesa but using ubuntu or debian mesa it could be as old as an entire year out of date or at best a few months.

I just played for 5hrs straight and in total these past 2 days about 20hrs without crashing on Arch with latest mesa stable, kernel stable, and proton experimental with a Ryzen 7735hs and RX7700s laptop.

Now this is interesting, you are running similar software stack to me on arch. The entire session indicates a GPU reset but bleeding edge should be working around that. Does this happen if you run the benchmark on a loop?

Lets keep in mind that the beta is in fact about 8 months old and has a number of issues. Its being used to simply test the networking of the game. Please use the benchmark to report issues graphically as it is far newer and more representative of the final product and doing fixes for the network beta is kinda of silly when it wont be around in 2 weeks.

I'm just basing it from their observations. We had 2 hour sessions working fine, but then had another crash happen and they observed they were once again sprinting.

That said, Mint just released an update for Mesa 24.3.4 (Latest release), which I'm actually kind of shocked to see since I agree that it is usually held back quite a bit or at least delayed significantly. That said, the only selectable kernel is 6.8... which has me scratching my head, since I know that's not LTS. Oh well, I'll ask them to run an update for at least the latest Mesa. I have my own system to tinker with (Manjaro), so I can give that a try later (NVIDIA based, but eh... more fun for everyone).

EDIT: Nevermind, it was a flatpak. The latest package that did just come out is 24.2.8. Not too bad, honestly.

@FlameSoulis
if the kernel is on 6.8, may be the crash is cause by this?

Try manually setting your gpu clock speed.

Oooh... I did see that mentioned a few times in other discussions but I didn't think about it that much. I'll have to look more into it and see if I can explain an easy way for them to try it. All other games they've tried have worked fine so far (Proton or otherwise).

Thanks for the swift response. I'll update if anything happens.

Game runs "fine" (cpu screaming for help), but I can´t join anyone posted quest or post any of my own, works fine if I'm on single player online, but the only way I can do anything is walking from camp to expeditions. The issue is not happening on Windows on my pc. Anyone got through this already? Erros R31A6-0-0:3 when I'm posting a quest, or R35A6-0-0:3 when I'm trying to join a quest (this include party link or environment link).

I was getting crashes with GE-Proton9-23 and Proton Experimental. After switching to Proton Experimental-Bleeding Edge, I was able to do an hour long run, first a hunt with NPC, then joined an SOS flare hunt. Also enabling FSR framegen no longer cause crash.

I've also run into this issue with being unable to do any quests online. Turning off crossplay (in the settings at the main menu) allows me to post/join quests again, but obviously greatly reduces the number of players I can play with since most people are going to leave crossplay on.

I'll also report that I still get pretty severe vertex artifacting (AMD 5700x3D, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 570.86.16, Proton Experimental (not bleeding edge)).

The only thing i havent gotten to work is private lobbies, trying to join one doesnt work but otherwise all the other multiplayer options have worked for me. My friend on windows has the same issue so Im not sure its a proton thing or not

Installed manjaro on an SSD and downloaded the game, simply installed steam game and discord, game runned fine, even quest posting and joining friends sessions, booted back on my arch, issue is there yet, so maybe is something missing in my arch installation? I'm comparing packages between the two, if anyone else want to try something similar.

When it comes to the hyprland issue, I can approve that I'm also having the same experience, background blickers in an out, especially visible while windowed. If you have created an issue on the hyprland repo, please link it to me, so I can also make a report.

Secondly, I basically have the same system as you (7900XTX). The game doesnt crash on my end, but I've been experiencing some weird frame time hitching / stutter that werent there when I first booted the game in the second beta. Are you experiencing the same issue?

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/8206#issuecomment-2643683108

So I tested it on my windows partition, I can run the game on medium settings with frame gen on averaging somewhere between 90-120 FPS. On my Arch setup, Lowest of low settings, Frame Gen on or off + FSR, I get TERRIBLE stuttering issues every few seconds mixed with almost half the frame rate my Windows version gets making it unplayable. My windows drive is a cheap 240GB SSD, meanwhile Linux is running on an M.2 SSD.

What's also odd is I'm not getting other issues others have posted about like hyprland, I get no flickering running the latest hyprland. I'm lost on where I might have messed up to make the game run smooth on Arch. I've tried everything @trm109 listed in their post but to no success.

I just played with steam overlay disabled and without VKD3D_CONFIG=disable_uav_compression and my frame times were for the most part stable again. With steam overlay and the env var, I was getting massive frame time spikes every few seconds.

I'm not using FSR or frame gen and with a mix of ultra and low I'm getting around 60-80 fps (bountiful season drops my fps to 60). Arkvelds fight though feels rather bad, since at times it can drop to the mid 40s. Try disabling Steam overlay and removing the env var.

I still had some system crashes on my AMD (GPU and CPU) system even on Proton Experimental bleeding edge branch. Seems to be a separate issue than the one that was fixed? The crashes are much rarer now at least.

tried amdvlk and amdpro, same problem

Additionally to the mentioned issues above I have these fun strechted texture artifacts:

I'm not sure if this is useful for anyone, but I was using Proton Experimental bleeding edge and still got crashes after a while. I did all these as a troubleshooting attempt: I used a X11 session, used the Arch-packaged Steam instead of Flatpak, disabled my second monitor, disabled Frame Gen and used lowest settings, after this I was able to play for another 3 hours without any crashes.

I'm not sure if any single change would have fixed the problem and I don't plan on playing the Beta much more, but perhaps this could be useful for someone who still experience system crashes.

Note after reading the comment below:
I was already using LACT to limit my GPU Clock to 2510 MHz in 3D_FULL_SCREEN mode. It's a 7900 XTX Nitro+. I still had crashes between 0-30 minutes playing, some crashes happening just after leaving the base camp.

System info: Arch Linux, kernel 6.13.2, mesa 24.3.4, vulkan-radeon, using "steam" package (not steam-native-runtime), CPU: 5950x.

Crashes were happening with the Flatpak version of Steam as well, I did not test if it stopped crashing after disabling X session, second monitor (HDMI) and so on.

I could play the game without crashes on a Windows VM with GPU passthrough in the previous betas, had all settings on Ultra with frame gen for long hours (in other words: I think my hardware is fine).

Just reporting back, could not reproduce any of the error codes after I did a clean install of manjaro and arch, tried everything I could think off, almost giving up and deciding to do a Full reinstall of my main system, decided to do steam file check on the game, 1 corrupted file, no more errors posting quests. If anyone is facing this errors u can try this also.

With the crashes, there's one issue with the kernel bosting GPU frequency above the gpu BIOS Max boost causing a page fault wich crashs the entire session, you might wanna try to limit the boost frequency using lact If u are on AMD. This also helps with Dragon's Dogma 2 crashes (this and using most recent proton for the cache issue). U can read about the click boost issue here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/3131

Dont ignore the lact suggestion, at least try, It really works for the crashes wich kill the entire DE.

This essentially makes the GPU behave like its overclocked, causing instability, just use lact and set the Max GPU frequency to the manufacturer specs of your GPU.

For the Black screen on menu either go for proton bleeding Edge or disable fsr/set fsr to Native AA.

If the menu is bricked and u cant click on anythin or it behave like the Arrow keys are pressed u can change from amdvlk to radv.

Games works "fine" after this adjustments, of course It still need optimizations on the game side, but at least is playable.

Sorry to hear the lact isn't helping, your setup does look similar to mine, except stronger.
I'm on dual monitor RX7800xt with a R7 3800x
Using both on Display Port.

Does your crashes behave like I described? I mean killing the DE session?

Player 5 full quests yesterday, no issues. Maybe It's worth mentioning this game might suffer from a cache bug related to re engine and amdgpu, there is a workaround in vkd3d-proton tested a few days ago, i'm using proton-ge 24, can u teste with that?

Have you tried downgrading your kernel? I was crashing non-stop until I downgraded my kernel to 6.1.0-31-amd64 (Debian 12) and mesa drivers 24.2.8-1~bpo12+1 I've read 6.6 works too.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5950X
GPU: AMD Radeon 6900XT
Kernel: 6.1.0-31-amd64
Drivers: mesa 6.1.0-31-amd64

Edit: Game still crashes but it takes considerably longer time to do so.
Edit 2: Current debian kernel (6.11) Env variable MESA_DISK_CACHE_SINGLE_FILE=0 and GE-Proton9-25, zero crashes.

Here's a video with frame generation enabled (FSR3 with native upscaling also known as no upscaling) ultra settings with my setup: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SaBYJVzUeo

Release Edit: MESA_DISK_CACHE_SINGLE_FILE=0 and GE-Proton9-25, still no crashes (91 min session).

Replying to https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/8206#issuecomment-2661088886

I had full system crashes with GPU timeout, requiring a power cycle using sysrq to power off.

Possibly related: my setup suffers from the "reset bug" when using VFIO/GPU Passthrough, it rarely recovers when anything goes wrong with the driver. And it's also affected by the GFX_OFF bug that causes system crashes seemingly randomly when its enabled. Note that this GFX_OFF bug didn't happen before a certain kernel version, I think it might have been around 6.7?... I can't recall, but I've decided to just use the known workaround (disable it with ppfeatureflags) and update my system despite the higher idle power usage.

I had tested Proton Experimental [bleeding-edge] and Proton GE 9.24, both had system crashes before trying X11 session and everything I mentioned before. It seemed to crash even if settings were at Lowest, and Frame Gen seemingly made the system crash faster.

Replying to https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/8206#issuecomment-2661310307

I did not try to downgrade my kernel as I had tried that in the previous beta and still had crashes. I cannot recall exactly what versions I had tested but I'm quite confident I've tried 6.11 and 6.12, maybe 6.9 and 6.10 as well. This was before the cache fixes from bleeding-edge though.

I did try to downgrade mesa, but any version older than 24.3 would break my desktop session, requiring a reboot into single-user mode to upgrade the package again to fix the system.

Well, considering that:

• It'd crash no matter the in-game settings
• It'd also crash when using Arch's packaged steam instead of Flatpak

It seems likely that what fixed my system crashes was one of these:

• Maybe disabled VRR since it wasn't available on display settings on X11 even with mutter's experimental-features flag (Note that I did set Option "VariableRefresh" "true" in the Section "OutputClass" on my /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-amdgpu.conf, but did not test if it worked or not - it might have been enabled as I didn't notice the usual issues with a 50 fps game on a 140 Hz monitor.)
• Using a full X11 session instead of Wayland
• Disabling the second monitor (HDMI, 60 Hz, 1080p, no VRR), keeping only the main monitor (Display Port, 140 Hz, 1440p, VRR)

I'll try to test these before the Beta ends but I cannot guarantee I'll have time to do so.

Try doing what this person says here with LACT, fixed my crashes if on AMD. FSR and frame gen are still borked though.

Reply to https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/8206#issuecomment-2662015697

I did try LACT, it kept crashing the same as always. The only thing that stopped them for me was adding MESA_DISK_CACHE_SINGLE_FILE=0 to the launch parameters.

I literally killed all monsters in a single session with the variable (I did not remove LACT though or disabled overclocking though), After "beating" the beta I removed it to try something else after that and it crashed within 5 minutes. You can see some people had the same result from disabling the shader cache in the Dragon's Dogma 2 bug report.

Disabling the shader cache is the next thing to try if latest proton, downgrading kernel or LACT don't not work.

Edit for @SleepingLifeAway: I was adding to your reply since lact did nothing for me.

Reply to [#8206 (comment)](https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/8206#issuecomment-2662015697)

I might've messed up but I was suggesting LACT to @rfsc-mori sorry if so.

Replying to https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/8206#issuecomment-2660690543

For me, the thing with LACT isn't that I underclocked my 6900XT — quite the opposite, I boosted it to 2700 MHz. What actually stopped my game from crashing, at least during the beta, was undervolting by about 40mv. I went further than that afterwards, but 40ish is what made the game not crash at all. No other changes made any difference to stability.

Nice! My suggestion isnt to underclock, but to set the Maximum to manufactor Spec, wich kernel is "not respecting" in some cases, 7600xt from xfx is where this problem really sucks, the board can barely stay stable for 20 min game sessions If u dont do this. Maybe, as the system is non intentionally overclocking undervolt is one way to get stable, makes kinda sense I guess. Nice to know!

It was probably because Capcom didn't click go until after the official launch time by accident, just retry and it should at least launch

Thanks guys, I checked some forums and it seems a lot of Windows users were also getting hit by the anti-tamper. I did the verify files and restarted Steam, booting up now.

I wonder if we were just too fast.

You don't know how hard my heart sank when I saw that message pop up, after all of getting to see the demo and benchmark working properly.

Game is crashing within 10 minutes and random textures are stretching. Attempted Proton-Hotfix, Proton-Experimental, as well as Proton-9.0.4

Game crashes GPU during intense scenes. LACT underclocking and undervolting, MESA_DISK_CACHE_SINGLE_FILE=0, and bleeding-edge has seemed to mitigate the issues. Before, I was only able to play a few seconds of the first seikret part. Now, I can get all the way to the first monster fight before my GPU dies. Still not playable. 6700 XT, Arch.

How are you guys able to get pass character creation? For some reason I'm unable to name my character, since the naming field fails to pop up, resulting in me getting stuck.

Edit: Apparently enabling FSR allows me to name my character.

Game is crashing within 10 minutes and random textures are stretching. Attempted Proton-Hotfix, Proton-Experimental, as well as Proton-9.0.4

I did not have any crashes but experienced the textures stretching, too. Applying PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=1 fixed it but now I can't use DLSS, only FSR (expected since the game now thinks I have an AMD GPU).

I have the same issue, apparently denuvo takes every version of proton as it's own device, meaning you either reached the 5 machine activation or the servers are getting hammered

from what I've seen online your best bet is just waiting until denuvo servers decide to let you in

Same, I locked myself out of the Denuvo check by changing prefixes too many times while trying to get Dualsense haptics to work.

Otherwise the game played fine on Proton Bleeding Edge when I tried it before I got locked out. That being said, I guess using Bleeding Edge or otherwise changing Proton versions is unadvisable with this game because of the Denuvo activation limit.

Guys stop spamming that you have the same issue and just posting "same" with your pc specs, this is cluttering the thread and making it harder for people that are actually trying to look into this to follow. Read the whole thread, if you find someone has the same issue as you react to it that's what those are for, no need notify 80+ people with the same thing someone else said before.

Completly crashing my Gpu driver

If it was 4:20 in the morning, maybe between 3 and a half to 4 hours? If it happens again, I will note a more accurate time.

I was around the begining area right before the quest where you head to the forest I believe. Maybe a few quests before. I cannot remember the exact location. I do remember getting back on and checking to make sure I didn't lose anything at base camp so it may had been near there.

Getting to the forest takes maybe 1-2hrs mostly due to cutscenes but if you just skip most of them maybe an hour of play. Its one of the first few quests in the game to visit there

VRAM is also an issue and lowering textures and meshes to High resolved. Compared to Windows VRAM usage is ~3-4GB higher.

Getting crashes somewhat consistently in the Scarlet Forest, during the Uth Duna fight. Was getting crashes intermittently, roughly once every 30 mins prior to that. Possibly the water/rain effects during that fight hitting the VRAM limit?

Cannot test any further due to the Denuvo error message popping up now but will update further once I can get back in and experiment a bit more

Need more testing, but someone points out this pull request https://github.com/HansKristian-Work/vkd3d-proton/pull/2363 and it seems to fix my crashes in the forest.

I've had random shader glitches and I have to recompile the in-game shaders each time I launch it

1. Nvidia 4070
2. arch linux 6.13.5
3. hyprland with Wayland

I was able to solve frequent crashing by downgrading my kernel from 6.9.3 to 6.2.0-39. Using GE proton 9-25 (though experimental was also working.) I cannot say why this worked but i thought it would be valuable information to add. This is on pop! OS with a 7900XT GPU.

@Stryder0 Look like cause by this issue
Try manually setting clock speed.

The game shows abnormal levels of vram usage. (The only app open is steam and the game)

Try using an application that shows what's using your VRAM usage. I use nvidia so I'd use nvidia-smi. I'm not sure what to use on AMD, but reddit comments say radeontop or radeon-profile. I had a similar reading and I'd accidentally left ComfyUI running in the background.

The benchmark for this game worked fine but the release seems to be causing a GPU crash on launch and I end up having to reboot the system . Seems to be some type of page fault.

Journalctl of the crash: https://pastebin.com/4kMk3PEm

If it makes anyone feel better. It seems Windows users are crashing too. I had a buddy crash on discovering the forest, and randomly after that too.

So far the game has been relatively stable, but I did crash on the forest and scarlet forest areas. These crashes were hard crashes, my 3 monitors were showing artifacts and it wasn't recovering requiring a forced reboot. The 2nd time around, KDE Plasma tried to recover and restart the shell but it wasn't very stable there.

so i did some testing with the VRAM stuff and noticed something weird.

(recorded with amdgpu_top, RX 7900XT so 20GB of Vram)

without anything running i have 3.4 gb ram used.

When i initially start the game, the game says the vram usage is 6.1gb for wilds and 13.63 for others. (after letting it idle in the menu a bit.)
In amdgpu_top it says the Vram usage is 14285mB, thats almost the same as reported for "others" in game (might changed a bit between the screenshots i took).

after being in the game for a short amount, the game says it over the budget for vram. MHwilds at 6.1GB and other at 17.83GB. Meanwhile amdgpu_top says overall vram usage is about 18gb and wilds itself at about 15gb, 3GB is still the system itself.

So whats reported as others INGAME is also wilds itself. and wilds is increasing its vram usage.

after letting it run for a further amount wilds took ALL the vram and the game came to a crawl.

I tested this with amdvlk, Proton bleeding edge, and latest linux drivers stuff

edit: this issue is not seen in Windows at all. also currently WAY better performance on windows

I was having problems with crashes while playing last night, could only go about 20-30 minutes before crashing. Today I switched to Proton Experimental (bleeding-edge) instead of Proton Hotfix and haven't crashed once. I do get the occasional micro-freeze, like it did right before a crash, but it gets back to normal within a second again.

I do however need to restart the game every now and again, I suspect it's the vram issue many people have reported.

My specs:
AMD Ryzen 5 7600X
AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT
32 GB RAM
Manjaro w/ 6.13.1-2-MANJARO Kernel

After fixing the xid 109 error by getting the latest beta of nvidia drivers the game starts.
With proton experimental bleeding edge it now runs with HEAVY glitches. The game is not functional but runs. glitches, massive tearing and other stuff. Starts and character creation and menus works. But once you get into the game, textures start popping but it is mainly shader glitches I would say. The texture popping would make the game playable if it was the only thing that did not work.
No proton commands, just vanilla experimental bleeding edge.

Was stable most of the day, now started crashing with this

I got a crash against the Uth Duna. My build should include HansKristian-Work/vkd3d-proton#2363

logs of the crash

I was having a good experience with bleeding edge, but I can't get beyond the Uth Duna fight now. It crashes at the same point in the fight every time. I tried a bunch of different proton versions, different linux kernels, disabling PBO and other stuff, but got myself locked out due to denuvo's stupid authenticate limit. Until the Uth Duna fight I had one crash in about 7 hours and that was just a once off but now its crashed in that same fight every time.

What's happening here is Wilds doesn't seem to recognise it's own memory usage. It'll always show your total system usage as "other" and add it's own projected usage on top. As for anyone having issue with the memory usage passively going up, I found that changing your texture settings resolves the issue. I flipped from Highest to High and back to Highest and my GPU memory usage went down and hasn't gone up since.

Running with default command line, maxed settings, NVIDIA scaling and frame gen creates stretched textures, crashes, and other random visual issues.

Some slight visual artifacts here and there still though.

AMD settings without hiding the NVIDIA GPU do not fix the issues for me.

Running at 2160p, 60Hz, AMD Native AA scaling, and maxed out settings sans the DLC high res textures. Only camps and other more intensive areas make the fps drop under 60.

I've gotten past Nu Udra fight so far.

This hints that there are some issues with NVIDIA cards specifically.

Some times in the 3rd biome, my fps drops to 20 and my gpu usage stuck at 99%. I can cause this by returning from 3rd to 2rd biome. Seans to be a bug with unloading/loading texture and models.
Happenned too during Black flame fight.
The strange part is that even if I go back to game's menu, my GPU still at 99%. The only way I find to "fix" is to restart the game.

I was having consistent crashes during Uth Duna with mesa 25.0, kernel 6.12.9 and proton bleeding edge.
I swapped to amdvlk and no more crashing. Unfortunately the performance is poor due what feels like constant shader stutter.

I was just able to complete the uth duna quest using amdvlk - you are a wonderful human being! Fortunately performance on amdvlk is about the same as mesa for me (maybe slightly less, but more than playable). The shader compilation on amdvlk took over 30 minutes but worth it if I can play haha

Edit: spoke too soon - back at base camp and its stuttery af lol. Going back to mesa now that Uth Duna is done and hoping for the best lol

Further edit for anyone else trying to get this all working... I went back to amdvlk, set mesh detail to medium (instead of high) and set textures to medium and it seems to be stable now. I was originally using the high rest texture pack, but as others have said - something is very wrong with the VRAM usage in this game and I would run out of vram despite having more than enough according to the game. Even on high textures this would happen. Medium has it running nicely. Textures look terrible on medium but at least its playable.

Hello 👋

I am happy to not be alone in difficulties 😊

The game in beta works "well" but now I have a freeze on languages selection. Fortunately, I can do an alt+tab to close the game with steam (click on "stop" button)(so only the game freezing and not my entire computer)(waiting a little does not change anything)

I use the nvidia-driver-535 (proprietary) on this computer

I try with proton hotfix / experimental / bleeding edge, and without and with those args

PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=1 PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 VKD3D_DISABLE_EXTENSIONS=VK_NV_low_latency2 __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_SKIP_CLEANUP=1 MANGOHUD=1 %command%

VKD3D_DISABLE_EXTENSIONS=VK_NV_low_latency2 (I try this one also with the driver-550, because I have an error about low_latency (like this one https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/8206#issuecomment-2450622534) but it didn't work)

Reply to https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/8206#issuecomment-2692598179

Thanks for the sharing! Switching to AMDVLK works on my end. When using radeon, the game will crash from time to time, which also makes my window manager freeze. After switching to AMDVLK, the game will only freeze for several seconds, instead of messing everything up.

However, due to the freezing, the experience of online gaming is terrible. X<

I'm reporting back that amdvlk works for the crashes in my experience, I couldn't play enough to confirm the stuttering others report but in my system it works flawlessly

I believe the GPU timeout is caused by upscaling, while testing and when I finally just gave up, decided to make the game look as good as it can at least, and when I put it at native res without using the upscaling part (no matter if fsr3 AA or leaving the render res at 100%) the game will just freeze for a few seconds, this freeze is only on the game, and I can continue using my pc or any other program, alt tab and all, the game will recover, altho disconnecting me from the online session.

I got to play for 6 hours without gpu timeouts and only a few freezes, no crashes and all in one sitting. Using the radv driver, mesa 25.0.0.

While the freeze happens my gpu goes to 100% during the freeze. My guess is that when this happens during the game, if you are upscaling from a lower res it will timeout the gpu for some reason.

Just passing by to register a sprite related bug happening to some of us on AMD, apparently.

Quoting the user BuzzyWasaBee on Reddit:

Monster Hunter Wilds is running surprisingly well. Much better than the beta did. Unfortunately there is an issue I didn't have before that you can see in the screenshots.

The weapon bars on the top left are messed up. There is this big blue thing on the screen when a new quest starts. The item selection on the bottom right is also garbled.

On the second screenshot you can see "quest fail" after a successful hunt.

Not shown, but there are also heavy artifacts around the targeting rectule and also the quick menus corners.

So far I have not seen anyone talk about this. It looks like the graphics for some UI elements are all stacked on top of each other.

Some screenshots I took myself:

A friend of mine (who is playing on Windows) shared this last night: https://steamcommunity.com/app/2246340/discussions/0/596268233570403298

Config file is at steamapps/common/MonsterHunterWilds/config.ini

under [Render], change these two:
ParallelBuildProcessorCount=16
RenderWorkerThreadPriorityAboveNormal=Enable

That thread also suggests fixing a typo in the MinimumStreamingTextureResolution value - I didn't notice any benefit; texture streaming seems broken either way. But changing the two Render settings seems to have made everything else significantly better.

Before changing them, I was able to get close to ~30fps with low-medium settings, except in camps with lots of NPCs, heavy rain, etc. It felt a bit uncomfortable but playable. After changing the config file, I get ~30-40fps with ~high settings and it at least feels much better. Turning on FSR/framegen puts me around ~80fps on average. Camps etc are still a bit worse but much better than before.

Also, previously I was getting very heavy stuttering when starting the game, entering new areas, seeing new monsters (per session, it got better over time). That stuttering seems to be either significantly reduced or completely gone with the config changes.

I'm reporting back that amdvlk works for the crashes in my experience, I couldn't play enough to confirm the stuttering others report but in my system it works flawlessly

Have you tried Proton Experimental Bleeding edge? so far 3 hours into (from Uth duna to several runs of rey dau)

Looks like the Dragon's dogma bug workaround for vkd3d-proton made it into bleeding edge.

This seems to have helped me, turned off upscaling (or I put it on fs3 AA) and it's been stable, can even have textures and mesh on high no problems.

That thread also suggests fixing a typo in the MinimumStreamingTextureResolution value - I didn't notice any benefit; texture streaming seems broken either way.

thats not a typo, thats the correct value the application is expecting if you grep the values the application recognizes.

Are anyone succeed to play with DLSS on nvidia card?
With provided dlss I got a missing textures and artifacts, with updated manually (with .dll) and VKD3D_DISABLE_EXTENSIONS=VK_NV_low_latency2 I don't have an artifacts, but got crashes every 15mins.

For now I'm playing with PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=1 and FSR, so it's fine, but it's lower FPS and kinda blurry.

All of this on experimental bleeding edge, other versions doesn't work good for me.

Well amdvlk was working, but after the most recent update (which wasn't meant to be anything to do with stability/performance) I can't get it to launch without using mesa, and still getting crashes in certain places with mesa lol...

I also have the issue with amdvlk 2025.1, game does not start at all, it was working with the previous version.

With RadV, I got some crash from time to time but it works most of the time.
Will try without upscaling to see if it's better.
Uth Duna was not doable, crashed everytime I got into the fight, passed it with amdvlk 2024.Q4.3.

Disable upscaling with mesa works on my end. Thanks for sharing.

Yo, just jotting down my experience so far.

Distro: Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS
Kernel: 6.8.0-54-generic
RAM: 32 GB
GPU Driver: 4.6 Mesa 25.0.0 - kisak-mesa
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6750XT 
CPU:AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core

Proton version: Experimental (not bleeding edge)

Current Steam launch parameters:
VKD3D_DISABLE_EXTENSIONS=VK_NV_low_latency2 MESA_DISK_CACHE_SINGLE_FILE=0 VKD3D_CONFIG=disable_uav_compression __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_SKIP_CLEANUP=1 gamemoderun %command%

In game I have everything set to low with FSR and Frame gen OFF. I can sometimes play for HOURS without issues and other times it crashes within 10 minutes. The crashes cause a full system lock-up which forces me to hard reset the PC. I've also tried playing with FSR and Frame gen ON but the crashes remain the same. They seem to be random and unpredictable. I haven't had consistent issues on 'x' fight like some of the other posts here.

(side note: even with everything on low it still doesn't run that good)

Gotten a new issue since I've gotten into High Rank, sometimes while playing the graphics goes black while the HUD is still visible. I can still control the game but I can't see anything since the game world itself is all black.

Are you using Upscaling? Sounds like the same issue we had in the beta.

Reply to [#8206 (comment)](https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/8206#issuecomment-2695208287)

Not using upscaling

Are anyone succeed to play with DLSS on nvidia card? With provided dlss I got a missing textures and artifacts, with updated manually (with .dll) and VKD3D_DISABLE_EXTENSIONS=VK_NV_low_latency2 I don't have an artifacts, but got crashes every 15mins.

Mmmm, this evening I tried to play with DLSS again (with updated version 310.2) and it was smooth - I mean no lags and texture issues.
Just launched it with only mangohud without any parameters. Framegen and reflex were also enabled
Strange.

There were game shaders update (idk, just steam downloaded 200mb of precached shaders) and proton (experimental bleeding edge) update today.

After 1.5 hours I got shutters and some texture bugs after that, but I suppose it was because I launched the game without LD_PRELOAD="" (it's an issue for me with steam games - without empty ld_preload it starts shuttering after 30-90 min).

I'm also getting wildly inconsistent crashing (sometimes very quickly, sometimes after some hours), with no clear culprit. Thankfully, my system's generally been recovering ok (at least enough to let me log back in), though sometimes it needs to be force-rebooted.
I've tried both RADV and AMDVLK thus far-- the experience doesn't feel much different between the two, but given the inconsistency of the crashes it's hard to say. I've been playing with proton experimental, but not bleeding edge; the latter seemed to crash pretty quickly each time I tried it (alone or in conjunction with other tweaks).

While this build's a few years old now, by all indicators it should be able to comfortably run the game on medium settings, give or take, and the game does seem to perform pretty well... when not crashing.

As a diagnostic measure, I tried playing with amdgpu_top running; interestingly enough, when I hit a crash nothing was visibly maxed out. The game was using a significant amount of VRAM, but not all, with use increasing at a manageable rate (and occasionally decreasing as well).

EDIT: Tried disabling upscaling per the comments here; results are promising thus far!

I've also had regular page fault errors with radv, Nothing seems to really affect it (graphics settings, proton versions), other than the first few hours of the game were more stable. It can crash within a few minutes to an hour. Seems more often due to intense effects during fights but has also crashed just sitting in menus. I also didn't notice anything weird about GPU usage/VRAM on crash, despite the game warning me it was maxed out.

Using amdvlk (2024.Q4.3-1) it was also crashing. Also weirdly unstable when launching the game - if I try to do anything else while it's launching, I'll get a page fault, and it can take about a minute for the game to actually boot. The intial shader compilation for amdvlk took about 30 minutes compared to 5 or so for radv. I haven't had a crash with amdvlk since turning off upscaling/FSR. Also as someone else noted, the game won't launch for me with amdvlk 2025.Q1.2-1. Using amdvlk also seems like it solves the bug of the VRAM being maxed out in the in-game menu.

When radv works, the performance is actually pretty good. Amdvlk runs slightly worse but still more than acceptable.

Edit: I was able to get the direct storage dll upgrade working. I simply symlink the new ones into the games root directory and then the old ones into the system32 directory of the games prefix. Finally I added a wine override for the two new dlls. I used symlink, since I dont like having external files pasted into the games directory, makes it easier to clean up.

I'm reporting my experience with the game.

I've been able to play through the entire base game without any crashes or other such issues. I do experience the VRAM leak when running the high texture pack, but on high textures this no longer seems to occur.

The main issue I experience are some rather bad frame pacing, where every second or so a small spike can be observed, this mainly happens when the GPU isnt fully saturated and is also observable on windows, running a 4090.

Additionally, I run the reframework dll in order to fix ultrawide grey bars, this might help with stability. I also tweaked the ini files to increase thread count and set render thread priority. I tried to swap the direct storage DLL, since the ones included with the game are broken, but this results in the game failing to start.

I'm currently running at a mix of high, ultra and low settings, with FSR set to quality and frame gen active at 5120x1440@120hz. I have VRR disabled since otherwise I experience flickering with frame gen on.

The only other issue I experienced was caused by steam overlay, which resulted in my frame times exploding after half an hour, but this is an well known issue with steam.

Here is my setup:

• Proton version: Experimental Bleeding edge / Proton 25
• Mesa: 25.1.0-devel mesa git
• Kernel: cachyos 6.13.4 lavd scheduler
• Compositor: hyprland 0.47.2 git
• CPU: 7800X3D
• GPU: 7900XTX
• RAM: 32GB CL 30 6000MHZ

Here are the arguments I use:
hyprTweaks -p; gamemoderun mangohud ENABLE_VKBASALT=1 WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8, dstorage, dstoragecore=n,b" %command%; hyprTweaks -r

Hyprtweaks is a tool I wrote to set specific hyprland options. I tried disabling rebar but I cant say I noticed a difference.

Replying to https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/8206#issuecomment-2695938293

explain this more what else needs to be done dstorage, dstoragecore=n,b" cause adding this the game does not start

reply to https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/8206#issuecomment-2696005446

First copy the old DLLs into the system32 directory located in the games prefix.

Then replace the old DLLs in the games root directory with the new files obtained either from the official release on nuget, or from nexus mod.

Then add the launch argument with the dll override.

That said, you only need to do this, if simply replacing the DLLs in the games directory doesnt work.

I experimented a bit with my settings yesterday evening and wanted to share my overall impressions:

What I found for me is that it is hugely AMD FSR dependent. When FSR3 was active I had consistent crashes after a few minutes into a Odogaron Fight. Didn't matter how much I tweaked my settings. I was using Mangohud to monitor my VRAM usage. On 2560x1080p (lower than native) with High resolution texture packs and overall high graphics settings, it showed consistent 5-6Gb of usage. Which should be managable with a 16Gb GPU. Still crashed.

I tried the Process count and priority fix via the config.ini, seemed to help a little bit with loading assets, but raisung CPU temperatures by 10°C while doing so. Going back into the game it crashed again after a few minutes.

Switching back to native resolution (3440x1440) and dropping my Texture resolution to medium and tweaking a few other settings had about the same VRAM usage, maybe 6-7Gb, but I got the game to run at ~40FPS in the Camp and about 60 in the Scarlet Forest and other areas. Here I got a good game session in of about 3 Hours. When I picked up a item in the scarlet forest it suddenly crashed - oh well it was just about time to go to sleep.

I mostly get hard crashes where I have to restart my PC, sometimes I get crashes where my Debian KDE /w Wayland resets back to desktop - here I noticed a lot of times that there were still Steam services running and even some MHWilds related tasks (checked with htop) and when I tried to start up the game again, it wouldn't start. While rebooting it showed some process termination timeouts from steam-related processes.
Rarely I could get back to fighting after a few seconds where the graphics driver seemed to have recovered.

I was running on Proton Experimental the entire time. I will try and get a log and System information in next time.

TLDR: I think my crashes are still VRAM-related even if I only get a reported 50% Memory usage at max. I will try radeontop today and monitor my memory usage this way.

I think this game doesn't handle VRAM very well anyway.
I used Proton bleeding edge and turned down the graphics settings considerably, but it still consumed almost all of the 16GB of VRAM. Probably, there is a VRAM leak.
Nevertheless, I was able to continue the session for a reasonable length of time.
The longest session I have ever been able to run continuously was about 4 hours, and the settings and environment at that time were as follows

Kernel: Linux 6.13.5-gentoo
Mesa: 25.0.0
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT (16GB VRAM)
Memory: 64GB

Proton: experimental (bleeding edge)
Game Resolution: 1920x1080
FPS Limit: 60
Texture Quality: High
Upscaling: none
Vulkan Driver: RADV

and using gamescope (embedded mode)

FPS was generally 60 fps, but often stuttering.

If FSR is enabled, it crashes frequently even if I'm using only anti aliasing.
If I'm not using FSR, I can often continue for about one mission.
Also, I'm not sure if it's because of the changing Proton version or the crashes, but being locked out for 24 hours by anti-tamper is very stressful.

I have not tried amdvlk yet.

Replying to https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/8206#issuecomment-2696028554

Hi,

Just to confirm that this solved MOST crashes for me too (99%).
As an explainer: what this is is an update to DirectStorage 1.2.3 (apparently current version shipped with the game is 1.2.2). On Windows people did that as a fix to the stutter and freezes that plague the game and in turn it seems to prevent those gpu timeout crashes we do get on linux (if I understand correctly this thread).

My system;

Operating System: CachyOS Linux 
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.2
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.11.0
Qt Version: 6.8.2
Kernel Version: 6.13.5-2-cachyos (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland
Processors: 12 × AMD Ryzen 5 7600X 6-Core Processor
Memory: 30.5 GiB of RAM
Graphics Processor 1: AMD Radeon RX 6800
Graphics Processor 2: AMD Radeon Graphics
Manufacturer: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd.
Product Name: MS-7D78
System Version: 1.0

I used the default AMD driver on CachyOS

The procedure I followed using @neon-grim comments

1- download dll upgrade from nexus mod "DirectStorage 1.2.2 Upgrade to 1.2.3 - IO Stutter Fix"
2- copy from steam/steamapps/common/MonsterHunterWilds/ dstorage.dll and dstoragecore.dll to steam/steamapps/compatdata/2246340/pfx/drive_c/windows/system32/ 
3- unzip the upgrade dll into steam/steamapps/common/MonsterHunterWilds/
4- make sure to disable any upscaling and framegen generation in the graphic options AND do not use the hi-res texture pack (I set texture quality to high for my 16GB VRAM GPU)

I used to crash quickly and reproducibly everytime, in the first 20s of gameplay in the tutorial and now I played a couple hours and also noticed a big stability improvement to the framerate (I also played a couple hours on release without crashes, the crashes started after the update 2 days ago).

I still get crashes here and there but at least I did complete the tutorial.

Update: not a placebo, new dstorage.dll does seem to load but dstoragecore.dll does not, I think if you just replace the dstorage.dll in the game exe folder with the new one and leave dstoragecore.dll alone it would have the same effect as following the above guide

I believe the above posts relating to the directstorage dll's are a placebo
Placing the new .dll files into the same directory as the game's EXE without any further commands is sufficient to have wine prioritise using these dll's rather than any wine provided builtin .dll as this is the default behaviour
However, doing so will result in the game not launching as it fails to load these new dll's and wine doesn't provide builtin options for these to fallback on and so the game won't launch
If you copy and paste the old .dll files shipped with the game to the system32 folder in the prefix these dll's then function as the builtin fallback
So by setting WINEDLLOVERRIDE to n, b you are telling the game to first load the native dll (the new dll you have provided) and then if that fails (which it does) load the builtin (the old dlls you copied to system32)

So, you're not using the new dll's at all, if the new dll's worked you could just drop them in the game exe directory and launch the game.

sry if I got anything wrong but pretty sure that's how it works and is what's happening

Replying to https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/8206#issuecomment-2697268578

I'm actualy not using the WINEDLLOVERRIDE as you can see my description of the procedure I followed. Could you explain why you think the new DLL would fail to load?
For a test and using your comment I did try right now launching the game twice with WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dstorage, dstoragecore=n" %command%, so I believe this prevents from falling back into the wine builtin libraries since I'm using only the n flag as you explained correct? It launches without issues. This could still be anecdotal evidence of course.

However I had 100% crash in the first 20s to 30s of gameplay for the last 2 days (probably tried to play 20 times overall) until I did this dll upgrade. This is without changing anything: I did not update anything in my system nor did I change any of my in game settings (the ones I described). This seems to prove that this absolutely alleviate this issue in my scenario. I still had 1 crash over the course of 4 launching of the game and 3 hours of gameplay but at least it's now absolutely playable.

@TomateSoft could you please delete the old dll files you copied to the prefix system32 folder and then let me know if it still works? I think even if you set winedlloverrides to just n it will still fall back to b. If the game still works with no dstorage/dstoragecore in system32 then I guess it's some other issue on my system.

Replying to https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/8206#issuecomment-2697268578

I used to not be able launch with the new dlls, so I tried using the launch option + copying the old dlls in sys32 as explained above, which did indeed fix it. What's weird is that removing those doesn't make it not launch, but I think this is simply because the files in the directory gets reverted to the ones pasted in sys32, as repasting the new dlls in the directory make it fail to launch again.

Looked into this a bit more, I think the ones in system32 still count as native rather than builtin, not sure, but the load preference is definitely exe folder first, then system32, more info here.

When checking the proton logs, I can see that the game loads the new dstorage.dll seemingly without error however fails to load dstoragecore.dll and falls back to the one in system32 (at least on my system)

1196.587:0128:01f4:trace:loaddll:build_module Loaded L"Z:\\transistor\\magoo\\steamapps\\common\\MonsterHunterWilds\\dstoragecore.dll" at 00006FFFF6150000: native

so it's using the new dstorage.dll (1.2.3) but the original dstoragecore.dll (1.2.2) and there is some change which could explain why its alleviated instant crashing for some, apologies and will edit my original post

I've also been suffering from intermittent amdgpu page fault crashes so hopefully this helps

Replying to https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/8206#issuecomment-2697502770

Yes that's it! I tried removing the dlls from system32 as you suggested and indeed it couldn't launch (black screen). When I added the old dstoragecore.dll back into the folder it finally launched and if instead I add the new dstoragecore.dll instead it black screens too...
So that's a pretty crazy situation, we run with mixed versions but at least it does work for now.

Bleeding Edge proton from yesterday(March 3) fixed most of my crashes. It only crashed for me after hours of playing when entering a new area instead of randomly crashing during fights so it's much better. I haven't changed anything else so I'm assuming it has to do with fixes pushed to proton.

Kernel: Linux 6.13.5-zen1
Mesa: Mesa 24.3.4-arch1.1
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 3900X
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT (16GB VRAM)
Memory: 32GB

Proton: experimental (bleeding edge)
Game Resolution: 5120x1440
FPS Limit: 60
Texture Quality: High
Upscaling: FSR3
Vulkan Driver: RADV

Added the new dll, proton experimental with bleeding edge, FSR3 but put on AA Native. Constantly crashing on high rank Uth Duna fight.

After latest crash the game refuses to go full screen, if I try to full screen it via plasma it just disappears.
Edit: Rebooting solved the fullscreen issue

Edit 2: After rebooting I could do the Uth Duna fight without crashing, guess something needed to get flushed out.

The story missions for Uth Duna and Rathalos were the two that crashed me constantly. However, I have had very few issues since then. Proton GE 9-25 and even RE Framework. I am gonna try the new dll, but I doubt it will make a change.

They did just release some patch notes which included this:

Performance & Stability

Screen Rendering and Force Quits: Addressed issues causing screen rendering problems and force quits under certain conditions.
Fixed game crashing issues.
Fixes various glitch.
Added stability and gameplay performance improvements.

I think the new dll made the game more unstable for me, crashed about 3 times in an hour when it's been quite stable for a couple of days.

not sure if anyone else has reported this same issue, but my game will open and run fine for a while, but eventually VRAM usage overcaps and the game tanks down to single digit FPS. only fix i could find is restarting, where the cycle repeats.

RX7900XT and 5800x3D

RX7900XT and 5800x3D

Same for me : let the game ran all the night, VRAM didn't move that much, but it seems that when you're moving around (when you're doing streaming asset), you're feeding more VRAM than you free it. Textures set to high, I've reached my 16gb VRAM cap. No issues on windows.

It seems that there is a VRAM leak on linux

@Miyazono1 @gouineblade
Did you downloaded the high texture pack and using highest texture setting ?
Try lower the texture setting to high.

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/8206#issuecomment-2692705428

I finally manage to launch the game with proton bleeding edge, nvdia drive 550 and those args
PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=1 VKD3D_DISABLE_EXTENSIONS=VK_NV_low_latency2 __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_SKIP_CLEANUP=1 %command%

I can play in medium at 60 fps, but I have some artifacts...

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/8206#issuecomment-2700051964

@Miyazono1 which gpu driver are you using? I have the same card running on Mesa 24.3.4, kernel 6.13.5 and Proton Experimental and although VRAM usage gets quite high with the high resolution texture pack (sometimes almost 18 GB of VRAM is used) this did not break the game (or the computer) yet on my side.

Something that may be helping in my case is that my monitor is plugged in the Ryzen 9900X builtin GPU instead of on my RX7900XT. So all the desktop stuff that would be using GPU memory is running in the integrated card instead of the RX7900XT that is being used only by the game. What frees some additional memory to it.

I'm not sure if this one instance of "try reinstalling the game" was a fluke — but I was consistently unable to progress past a HR monster, and no matter what I changed, it crashed every hunt, 20+ times minimum.

Reinstalled the game and I didn't crash once for the rest of my play session.

Perhaps something with Capcom's internal shader cache or proton's got corrupted? I saw someone on Windows had to purge the Shader cache, a few days ago.

Edit: now that I'm thinking about it, upon the fresh install and allowing proton to compile the Shaders, capcom's "compiling shaders" screen never showed up even once.

There does seem to be something weird going on with the game's VRAM usage. The game displays VRAM usage for the game itself as well as "Other Applications", but only the "Other Applications" number seems to reflect reality.

Over time total displayed VRAM usage keeps creeping up, up to a point, and then it yo-yos around that point. Turning down the texture quality from highest down to just high improved the situation for me and the displayed VRAM usage no longer goes above my system total VRAM. I was able to play up to and past the credits with bleeding-edge Proton. Before this the game would eventually lock up for several minutes before recovering in a degraded extremely low-performance state.

Besides this VRAM issue the game has been working nicely for me. Only in one instance I ran into a problem where the whole world went black, except for white lights coming out of the spots where particle effects are supposed to be. I managed to blindly enter the tent (which I suppose loads another scene in game engine terms) and that fixed the issue, and I haven't seen it since. This could very well just be a bug in the game.

The game shows abnormal levels of vram usage. (The only app open is steam and the game)

CPU : r5 5600; GPU : RX 7700XT; Proton : experimental bleeding edge; Mesa : 25.0.0; Kernel : 6.13.4; Nobara 41

To add to this issue:

• If I use Steam installed via pacman (so it uses system libraries, such as MESA 25 and vulkan-radeon 25), there's this VRAM issue.
• If I use the Steam Flatpak, which uses it's own libraries, it doesn't, it has normal VRAM usage.

As a temporary test, I've downgraded MESA and vulkan-radeon to version 24, and the VRAM issue is gone.

Similar results for me as well. I did go a bit further and cleared:

• ~/.cache/mesa_shader_cache*
• Steam compat directory for Wilds: 2246340
• vkd3d files in game folder

After removing those items I verified game files, installed the updated dstorage.dll, and installed latest REFramework. It's been stable for a few hours with FSR completely disabled and using TAA instead.

Update: I enabled FSR Balanced and Frame Generation midway through my session (about 3hrs) and haven't crashed yet after about another 3hrs. It does stutter and sometimes temporarily freeze for half a second when switching zones.

I've managed to get past the Uth Duna story fight (which in ~5 previous attempts I would crash within a few minutes) by uninstalling and reinstalling the game and doing most everything that @calvinkatz did as well. That said it still wasn't perfect, there were many micro stutters which is suspect was some of those deleted cache files regenerating themselves. I also had multiple seconds long freezes which I suspect would've disconnected me had I been playing multiplayer.

A small note that REFramework seems to require the updated dstorage.dll (which I installed by simply replacing the one in the game files directory), otherwise the game crashes on boot with a wine C++ runtime assertion error.

The game has done nothing but crash on boot on my setup. I’ve tried a good few proton versions (Hotfix, Experimental, GE, Experimental Bleeding Edge) and some launch options tweaks to no avail. Specifically, I have tried PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=1 VKD3D_DISABLE_EXTENSIONS=VK_NV_low_latency2 __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_SKIP_CLEANUP=1 %command% and a few variations that consist of one or a few of the commands mentioned.

I think the crash reporting tool is also crashing, as the only thing I find in the crash reports are folders with "MiniDump.dmp.tmp" files. Unfortunately, I am having trouble getting the file off of the machine so I can upload it here; I will update this comment with the attachment if I can figure out how to get it. (EDIT: It appears I cannot upload a .tmp file to a GitHub comment and the terminal woln't let me zip it either)

Trying to run this in Steam-Headless running in Unraid, so I can stream it to my Steamdeck on the only better hardware I have available. This setup ran the Open Beta Test and Benchmark Tool fine, so I'm not sure what changed that is making it crash.

That is likely a Mesa 25 issue as running Steam Flatpak with mesa-git also results in the same abnormal VRAM reporting.

@Miyazono1 @gouineblade Did you downloaded the high texture pack and using highest texture setting ? Try lower the texture setting to high.

My textures are set to high

That is likely a Mesa 25 issue as running Steam Flatpak with mesa-git also results in the same abnormal VRAM reporting.

Seems like this is the same issue : https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/12686 ? The last known good version is Mesa 24.3.4, so yeah seems to be Mesa 25 issue.

I have the following drivers installed for the System:

mesa 1:24.3.4-1
mesa-utils 9.0.0-5
xf86-video-amdgpu 23.0.0-2

The Kernel that I am using is 6.13.5-zen1-1-zen.

The issue that I am having is, that the game just freezes whenever I play with other people. Singleplayer is completly fine.

Seems like the latest Blending Edge version of proton fixed the crashes for me, run for 7 hours without encounter them! Before it took only 5 minutes into a hunt to cause a gpu driver timeout.

Hopefully this lands soon for normal experimental.

Replying to https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/8206#issuecomment-2704592642

Pretty positive thats a big nothing burger, UMIP prevents certain things executing in user space and wine fixed issues with it some time ago. This is likely just noise in dmesg.

You can try adding clearcpuid=514 to your kernel launch parameters to disable UMIP to see what happens and it will clear up dmesg

Seconded. I luckily got a 9070XT today, ran with the same settings as my previous post and no issues other than the same stuttering every now and then. FSR and Frame Generation all worked without crashing.

So after my last post I tried a few things:

I still had consistent crashing after a few minutes into fights in Ruins of Wyveria and Scarlet Forest - VRAM reported normal usage. (7-8Gb out of 16Gb). So I got a little desperate.

Tried the directstorage.dll - fix. Seemed to have helped with texture streaming. But no help with my crashes.

Tried the CPU-count fix in (already reported that last time) setting it from 8 to 16. Apparently helped with some of the stutter but no guarantee, can be placebo too.

Proton Experimental bleeding-edge - no real improvement for me.

I then installed the latest REFramework from NexusMods found here: https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterwilds/mods/93
Just drag and drop the .dll into the MHWilds game folder, it starts automagically with the game.
I feel like the game was running a bit smoother and it has a fix for the ugly bars on the sides of a Ultrawide monitor, and apparently fixes some of the issues with Capcoms Denuovo , but no fix for the crashes.
Still would recommend installing it.

amdvlk 1.4 on mesa 22.3 didn't work me, Game wouldn't even start.

After that I tried going to Debian Trixie (Testing release) from my currently Debian 12 stable - because of the updated 24.3.4 Mesa drivers. Lo and behold - without me doing anything extra after the update I got a message for Vulkan shaders - which I didn't turn on myself. Like other reported it took an eternity to do the preshader-caching. Game started up as usual. Trying a few hunts and for what seemed to be the spots where the game usally crashed, I got a lagspike of about half second to a second and the game recovered fine - multiple times. VRAM usage the same as before, running on 3440x1440p.

Haven't tried out FSR yet.

Anyone who can confirm what I found? (Mesa 24.3.4 update)

Is it possible that when you were crashing, you didn't have the fix commited to proton-experimental yet?

As far as I remember I switched over to Proton Experimental Bleeding Edge shortly after my last post and didn't switch back since then. (3 days ago)

I am going to update this evening againg as I am not 100% certain if I have't reverted back to non-bleeding edge while testing...

Replying to https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/8206#issuecomment-2706201391

Yup just checked, had Proton Experimental Bleeding Edge for the entire time, so it was still crashing for me yesterday, even with the latest fix...

Of course, this requires a few more hours of testing, for which I am happy to sacrifice myself for the common good :p

A follow up on https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/8206#issuecomment-2702687569

I managed to get my crash report if anybody is interested. I generated this crash report today, running Proton Experimental Bleeding Edge, with no launch options: MiniDump.dmp.tmp.zip

I also just went and ran MHWilds with PROTON_LOG=1 %command%, same Proton version, to generate this log: steam-2246340.log

I've been going crazy the last couple of days trying to find other reports of this behavior in the Mesa and vkd3d issue trackers and not finding anyone mentioning this specific behavior with VRAM. Didn't think to check here until now; so glad I'm not the only one experiencing this.

To add on with my own observations, I noticed this immediately after updating to the 20250305 openSUSE Tumbleweed snapshots, coming from a 20250130 snapshot, which meant going from the same last-known-good Mesa 24.3.4 to Mesa 25.0.0 as others have.

To clarify, unlike some others in this thread I am not experiencing any crashes, so I think there are two separate issues at play here affecting different sets of people. I fortunately haven't experienced even a single crash, but the VRAM exhaustion ends up effectively the same.

• OS: openSUSE Tumbleweed
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700X
• GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT (GFX1100/Navi31)

Unfortunately, I don't know what precise Proton Experimenal builds I was using at each time, but I had been using the non-bleeding Experimental since launch day.

The game did not over-report VRAM and did not exceed the maximum amount of my card (20GB). If anything, it appeared to vastly under-report usage as observed in Mesa#12686; I recall MHW only reporting about 8-10GB total when btop reported around 18-19GB used. The grey "Other Applications" bar in-game was quite low.

Since the game never overshot my total VRAM (as far as I know), it never ended up doing the cascading VRAM spilling into GTT which causes the eventual indefinite performance drop-off as has been an issue ever since Mesa PR 6833 and well-reported over the years: 8763, 5902, 9371, 12713, etc.

The game played with its usual stuttering and performance issues, but it never had the VRAM overflow issue. I could (and did) play for several hours at a time without ever crashing, restarting, or experiencing any launching issues.

Mesa 25.0.0 Observations (Bad)

This is when the VRAM over-reporting began. Right when you get to the start screen, VRAM is already reported much higher in-game than it ever was before, with the characteristic huge value for "Other Applications" as shown by @MattyPixels in https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/8206#issuecomment-2701814872.

Playing the game for even 10 minutes while moving through areas and loading in different textures/effects, VRAM rapidly climbs with the in-game VRAM usage showing upwards of 25.8GB for me; well over my actual 20GB capacity. Using amdgpu_top, I can see that once all of my VRAM is allocated, GTT allocations gradually rise higher and higher. Once GTT exceeds around 4-5GB on my system, the infamous massive performance degradation happens, GPU usage stays pinned at 100%, and framerate drops to an awful, inconsistent 16-20FPS.

I never experienced a crash on either Mesa version in 41 hours of playtime on Proton Experimental (95% of that time was on Mesa 24.3.4). I'm hesitant to believe that this particular issue is Proton-related, but I wanted to add my findings here to help others with the same issue that happen to find themselves here.

Replying to https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/8206#issuecomment-2707746551

Can confirm, I think the Mesa 24.3.4 update is the way to go

For me at least.

I just stopped a longer session on my part - game was running really good, well apart from the MHWilds-specific stutters of course. Game would get lag-spikes from time to time but always recovered. I tried FSR Quality and got a little improvement in framerate (from 55-60ish to 65-70fps) Even Frame-Gen worked and it bumbed my frames to 100-140 depending on the location, but it seemed to have more lag-spikes now....

I could play the game for 4 hours non-stop without it crashing once, before it would crash regularly. (Even had a crash in a loading screen once :/ )

So we could argue that is more related to a driver-issue than Proton?

I'm getting pretty bad audio crackling on my copy using bleeding-edge. Can't say much about performance yet because the audio is so distracting.

Edit: Fixed this by adding PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=30 to the launch options.

Regarding the stuttering and temporary freezes in my situation I was able to resolve. I use ZFS and at some point I had changed the primarycache and secondarycache properties. Resetting those to all eliminated almost all the stuttering/freezes I have. Default is all but might be worth double-checking.

The game appears to use around 6-7GiB of RAM so having 16GB or more for extra page cache may alleviate some of the stuttering. For reference I have 64GB of RAM and ARC (read cache) is using ~38GB with just Discord and the game running.

My experience has been the opposite.

Currently on Debian 12 with Mesa 25 (from kisak's repo) with proton bleeding edge with no crashes so far. I crashed often with Mesa 24 (I may have crashed with 25 when I was testing stuff but it may have been proton updates what fixed the crashes).

I have the same vram usage with 24 and 25, not looking at whatever MH shows .

I confirm i also got a memory leak since mesa 25 update, causing double the size of VRAM on MH:Wild (but no sign of this on corectrl for example)

Im not sure its a memory leak as much as VRAM being misreported as on Mesa 25. VRAM usage for me was roughly the same but Wilds just thought i was using obscene amounts of VRAM that wasnt being used. It almost seems like its reading system memory usage as VRAM usage vs actual VRAM usage.

Well, I don't know about that. What I can say, at least, it's the fact having the same setup of kernel config and all with Mesa 25 is causing my computer to freeze entirely during the game, but I downgrade Mesa and since then no issue with last proton experimental bleeding-edge.

So maybe it's more on Mesa side, dunno.

its definitely on the mesa side, this isnt a proton issue as far as i can tell. Hopefully it can be sorted out for 25.0.1 otherwise going to have to reproduce and make a report of the mesa tracker.

So I've been having no issues earlier this week on proton experimental (bleeding edge), but as of yesterday (March 7th) I started having crashing randomly after starting any investigation. These aren't consistent crashes though.

My machine was freezing entirely even on Mesa 24.3.4 until I turned frame gen off. Shame since I only get 65 FPS without it.

@kisak-valve I think this issue is worthy of the Mesa drivers label, as the reported issue with VRAM reporting has been confirmed to be a regression in the Mesa driver, which has already been bisected.

A fix just merged to fix mesa 25 vram regression. MR
The fix should be included in 25.0.2
Which scheduled to release at 2025-03-19

@minecraft2048 You'll need to disable Split lock detection/mitigation. (Arch wiki)
You can also

sudo  bash -c 'echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/split_lock_mitigate'

or

sudo sysctl kernel.split_lock_mitigate=0

if you want to disable it in run time but don't want to use gamemode for some reason. (Kernel docs)

Well, I don't know about that. What I can say, at least, it's the fact having the same setup of kernel config and all with Mesa 25 is causing my computer to freeze entirely during the game, but I downgrade Mesa and since then no issue with last proton experimental bleeding-edge.
So maybe it's more on Mesa side, dunno.

My machine was freezing entirely even on Mesa 24.3.4 until I turned frame gen off. Shame since I only get 65 FPS without it.

I'm also experiencing random freezes when using frame gen, everything seems to be working fine when I turn it off.

Hi, just passing to add, I'm just downloaded GE-Proton26, and using gamemoderun %command% /WineDetectionEnabled:False was able to enable Ray Tracing, and it worked on dragon's dogma 2 also.

And it actually worked.

That said, after the last patch I now see a message saying I need an ssd for the game to run properly, and the performance seems to have worsened, not sure if it's a placebo. But the game is on 3500Mb NVME m2 drive.

Any ideas about this?

Performance and stability has gotten a lot better for me with mesa 25.1 and the latest version of proton, but it seems that my GPU pagefaults are still around albeit rarer. Just crashed during a second late-game hunt:

reply to https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/8206#issuecomment-2716033200

I can confirm that the vram leak seems to be fixed with the latest commit. I had to wait a bit for chaotic nyx to get updated to a commit which includes the changes, but after testing the game seems to run a loot smoother on my 7900XTX. That said, running the HD texture pack DLC still causes asset streaming issues, so I recommend just playing with textures on high.

BTW, to anybody with Nvidia GPUs who have been using PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU, it seems another way to mitigate the vertex/texture issues and hangs is by setting the DirectX feature level to 12 instead of 12.2 like VKD3D_FEATURE_LEVEL=12_0. I hadn't seen this posted on the discussion forums or here, but somebody mentioned this in an issue on the vkd3d-proton repo as helping, and it absolutely does. There are still a select few spots in the desert esp that feature messed up textures, but monsters, etc. no longer seem to start exploding after 10 minutes. I played around an hour without any major issues besides the desert as prev mentioned. Directly south of base camp in the plains, I found it pretty laggy depending on the direction I was facing, but YMMV. I've been able to use DLSS and frame gen totally fine. My full launch params are below, but feel free to remove the dll overrides and the frame rate cap. This is running with Proton Experimental bleeding edge, flatpak Steam, and with a 3080 on driver ver 570.86. Mesh quality is high as changing it to medium did not seem to change or otherwise affect the severity of the instances there was issues (desert). Surface quality is on low, and I did not test how setting it to high affected things.

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8.dll,dxgi.dll=n,b" VKD3D_FEATURE_LEVEL=12_0 VKD3D_DISABLE_EXTENSIONS=VK_NV_low_latency2 VKD3D_FRAME_RATE=164 %command% /WineDetectionEnabled:False

Edit: Starting from 570.133.07 and kernel 6.14, it seems I'm running into GPU hang issues again and these options don't work anymore at least for me :(. I have to use PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU again to fix the meshes freaking out

I've found a weird bug with this game and it's stupid link party feature. Though it isn't much of an issue, just thought I'd post it just in case.
I am using GE-Proton9-26 since it has the fixes from experimental build that fixed the usual gpu crashes. I also have REFramework installed and the dstorage.dll 1.2.3 from nexusmods (without dstoragecore.dll). In REFramework, I'm using the skip intros, unlimited character edits and persistent glow removal mods.
Throughout the entirety of the game, it's been fine and playable. However, recently I discovered that whenever I join a link party and load into a quest while in that party, I start to stutter like crazy and then eventually run into gfx timeout crash. Whenever I play solo, through SOS or by joining lobby members, I don't get this problem.

Other than this, the game works as intended.

I have an odd find to report, as I mentioned I've had random freezes when using frame generation; lately I've tried using the /WineDetectionEnabled:False parameter to see how ray tracing looks in the game and I've found that when RT is enabled I don't get the random freezes from using frame generation, I've tested with disableing RT again and the freezes come back; I'm not sure why that the case or what I could do to gather more useful data but for now I've been playing with both on for a few days and the freezes are completely gone.

It would be interesting to see if other people experience the same thing.

I've had the game crash on me only while playing with a friend but couldn't figure out what's causing it, I'll have to test if it's indeed the party link feature.

Getting major performance issues and lots of "PSO compatibility hash mismatch" in my proton logs in Oilwell Basin. 7900XTX

I think it's recompiling shaders in a loop or something. It can be somewhat resolved by putting settings on low.

Game run very badly with my Nvidia RTX 4080 / i5 14600k.
Tried all the tinkering suggested here and it still run bad with lot of fps drops, meshes explosions etc...
Is this a proton issue or Nvidia linux driver problem?

im getting serious shader issues, the fps is fine but it looks like this:
has anyone else been getting anything like this?
im using a radeon 6600, proton bleeding edge (tried various GE versions too but with the same results) nobara linux and mesa 25.0.2.
does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

Did it ever look normally at some point?
If it actually is a shader issue you could try deleting the game cache from the game install folder and it will rebuild it, hopefully properly this time.

The files you want to delete should be shader.cache, vkd3d-proton.cache, and vkd3d-proton.cache.write; On the next game start it will rebuild the shaders.

@matthewh626 I have the same card but the game looks normal to me, tried on proton experimental bleeding edge with mesa git and mesa 25.0.2 with the same result/, I'm curious if it happens to you in the main menu as well as that also shows 3d models.

If you add this to the game's launch parameters (right click on game in library and select properties): PROTON_LOG=1 %command%. You'll get a new file in your home folder called steam-2246340.log after you run the game, upload it as it might have relevant information.

If the menu interface is visible, also try sharing your graphics settings.

As of today's update, game is not working at all, even after reinstalling. Boots to a black screen which freezes the system for several minutes.

Tested on latest mesa / proton bleeding edge on a 7700XT.

I'm seeing the same thing. It does seem to eventually launch if I wait long enough... We'll see if it works after the shaders update

Update: Graphics are very broken and very psychedelic

My computer locks up instead of "eventually launching up." Seen on reddit of the game having extreme graphical issues after waiting for the game to actually launch.

I was also having the instant Mesa page fault crash with the latest game update. After deleting all the cache files inside steamapps/common/MonsterHunterWilds the game was able to launch.

Tried deleting all storage files, game still failed to launch.

• Replaced direct storage files with v1.2.2 I acquired from NuGet
• Game now launches and works
• Re-replaced the v1.2.3 direct storage files, game fails to start
  Sounds related to the new direct storage files maybe?

My game started after some waiting like others said, but I have shader issues and the game doesn't look right. On latest mesa, latest proton-tkg, and latest kernel. 7900XTX

My game initially launched once then had the same mesa crashes until I applied your fix, thank you. This worked on my 7900 XTX, I am getting a friend to test it on his 6950 XT as well.

EDIT: Confirmed the above works on his 6950 XT. I have tested on both Proton Experimental and GE-Proton 9.27 (under Arch, friend has tested under Fedora), the older DirectStorage DLLs work. No texture or rendering issues.

This works for me as well. Downloaded and copied dstorage.dll and dstoragecore.dll 1.2.2 from NuGet using dotnet and the shaders look fine.

Can confirm this indeed fixed the issue for Mint 22.1. Issue was getting the files without dotnet (ran into the annoying Error: [/usr/lib/dotnet/host/fxr] does not exist situation), but the nuget files opened fine with the archive manager, and from there, just a case of rename the older files in the game's root directory and then swapping them in _storage_ as well.

@FlameSoulis _storage_ is created by reframework afaik.
I think we better backup those dstorage dll in case another update broke it again.

Uhhhh can somebody help me out so that I can get my game running again? I kinda need to figure out to download v1.2.2 of the direct storage file.

@XaratosS https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Direct3D.DirectStorage/1.2.2

How the hell did I not see that...Thanks. I think I need coffee right now.

(If you use ark, it will open it up without needing to renaming it, the link above is exactly what I used.)

I am playing on steam deck. I was able to get it running with the fix but it's consistently crashing more than before, which I never really crashed at all besides 2-3 times in my ~90 hrs. Any tips?

Just replacing the dstoragecore.dll with the 1.2.2 version was enough to get the game running again after the update.

Okay, so now I'm getting an error message, here's the image. What the heck is going on? I purchased the digital deluxe edition.

If you've been swapping Proton versions to try and resolve this issue, each one counts as a new activation against Denuvo. And because of that you're unfortunately locked out since you get 5 activations per 24hrs.

Ahh gotcha. Is there any chance it will take less than 24 hrs?

Not that I'm aware of. You might be able to contact Denuvo support and explain the situation but chances are that'll take longer than 24hrs too.

Ahh gotcha. Is there any chance it will take less than 24 hrs?

From my own experience, it's 24 hours from the first of the 5 activations. So if you logged in yesterday and then switched proton versions 4 times today (for example), you're in luck and should gain access again soon 👍

Also, for those still wanting to use DS 1.2.3, this mod still works. There's a stickied comment that explains how to enable it on linux, tried it myself and it works!

On my Nvidia 4080 it’s worse…
Will try to post proton logs later

@simifor
the main menu has the same issues
im using the lowest graphics preset but changing the graphics setting, enabling or disabling any frame gen/upscaling doesnt seem to make a diffreance
it generated a log file but its 6.7GB so i obviously couldnt upload it

Valve should ban this shitty DRM from Steam.

Post title update 1 I'm getting reports that DirectStorage needs to be downgraded to get the game to launch. I can't actually test the fix since I ran afoul of everyone's favorite anti-tamper solution while trying to figure out why I was crashing.

https://www.reddit.com/r/MonsterHunter/comments/1jrgqpk/no_longer_able_to_launch_wilds_linuxsteamos/

Also, for those still wanting to use DS 1.2.3, this mod still works. There's a stickied comment that explains how to enable it on linux, tried it myself and it works!

I followed these instructions but used the games original dll files and it also worked. Used the dstorage files from NuGet in system32 however.

I just extract the nupkg for 1.2.2 and replace both dll on the game's folder, worked, no command changed whatsover.

I wonder if I do anything wrong but after title update 1 I did not experience any crash, presumably already using DirectStorage 1.2.3. Did not modify anything apart from the launch command. How come mine does not crash while everyone else does??? Or does it happen due to the fact that I hid Nvidia as AMD GPU with PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU?

My launch command:

PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=1 PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 VKD3D_DISABLE_EXTENSIONS=VK_NV_low_latency2 __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_SKIP_CLEANUP=1 prime-run mangohud %command%

EDIT: yep, it's 1.2.3, confirmed it with the sha256sum 882d95c3012aa4e49bee48fe7e2305dbf3aa06df001e431a6606aec756feff6c dstorage.dll

EDIT: My setup:
i7-12800H
RTX 3070 Ti Mobile
Linux 6.13.8
nvidia-open-dkms 570.133.07

@gregory112 May be it's only on amd( radv )?

Nvidia driver usually more resilience against shader bug, amdvlk too.

Looked a few post, most of the player who provided gpu name,
all are amd gpu, and/or steam deck.

I replace the files with 1.2.2 and it worked.
Here's detailed step of what I did:

1. Download the nupkg file from link above.
2. Unsip the file, after unzipping, go ti native/bin/X64, there are 2 files, dstroage.dll and dstroagecore.dll
3. copy and file and replace the file with the same name in /home/USERNAME/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/MonsterHunterWilds
4. launch the game

System info:
Arch Linux
AMD 6750XT
R5 7500F

PS. don't worry about messing things up, you can always verify file integrity in Steam to undo your changes.

I seem to have finally figured a way to use DLSS while avoiding the current Nvidia issues. It's held strong for a few separate launches and a couple hour session. By reporting your GPU to Wine as an AMD card, but with DXVK reporting it as an Nvidia card, it'll allow enabling NVAPI features. Currently my launch parameters are as follows:

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8.dll,dxgi.dll=n,b" PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=1 DXVK_CONFIG="dxgi.hideAmdGpu=True;dxgi.customVendorId=10de" DXVK_NVAPI_GPU_ARCH=GA100 VKD3D_DISABLE_EXTENSIONS=VK_NV_low_latency2 %command%

WINEDLLOVERRIDES is for REFramework and DLSSTweaker to utilize the aforementioned dlssg to fsr3 mod. I'm reporting my GPU as Ampere as it's what I have, but you can use AD100 for Ada or GB200 for Blackwell. I'm also still disabling Reflex via VKD3D_DISABLE_EXTENSIONS since afaik it's still broken and causes inconsistent frametimes, but that isn't necessary to add. Hopefully this works for others on Nvidia hardware too.

Edit: FG flicker issue was due to a post-processing mod I forgot I had enabled. Fixed by disabling, and removed mention.

Thats interesting, can you provide wich proton version?

For some reason, I am also not afflicted with the crash, using AMD gpu. I even removed my prefix and remade it, and it still works fine

9800x3d
9070XT
Mesa 25.1.0-devel (git-248edb43c3) RADV
Proton experimental bleeding edge, but I tested using 9.0.4 and it also worked
Linux 6.13.8-arch1-1

Verified that it's using Dstorage 1.2.3 via sha256, and verified integrity of game files as well.

Nice going to try mesa-git then

Edit: No dice, 1.2.3 crashs the system, even with Mesa 25.1.0-devel (git-78c73a4aeb)

Can save the system crash if I stops it on time.

This might need some patches, games will probably come with dstorage 1.2.3 in the future.

Thats interesting, can you provide wich proton version?

It's Proton Experimental, last updated at 5 April 2025.

@gregory112 May be it's only on amd( radv )?

Nvidia driver usually more resilience against shader bug, amdvlk too.

Looked a few post, most of the player who provided gpu name, all are amd gpu, and/or steam deck.

Last I checked at https://www.protondb.com/app/2246340 the ones getting borked are all AMD though, but there might be some people that do not get crash with AMD so I am not really sure.

Replying to [#8206 (comment)](https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/8206#issuecomment-2727151906)

I seem to have finally figured a way to use DLSS while avoiding the current Nvidia issues. It's held strong for a few separate launches and a couple hour session. By reporting your GPU to Wine as an AMD card, but with DXVK reporting it as an Nvidia card, it'll allow enabling NVAPI features.

I think I will try this too. With my current setup, I still get stutter frequently, especially when (presumably) loading textures for the first time. After a while of experiencing stutters here and there I begin to get smoother FPS a little bit. With MangoHUD I see that during stutters my CPU/GPU usage goes down, meaning that it is probably I/O issues, which probably are related to DirectStorage.

Replying to https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/8206#issuecomment-2781348291

Well, I must say that after using this command I am able to use DLSS without getting vertex explosions. I have also combined it with some other flags that are said to disable DirectStorage (?) not sure if this is possible. However, I have got the best FPS with lowest stutter (still exists sometimes) with these tweaks:

1. Use REFramework, it disables Capcom anti tamper and eliminates 90% of my stutter, enabled with that dinput8.dll setting, I'm not sure that it is even playable without this mod at this point
2. Hide Nvidia GPU to work around vertex explosion issues, pyroveil didn't help for me
3. Disabling Reflex as others have mentioned (VK_NV_low_latency2)
4. Use DLSS, but not frame generation
5. Adding some settings regarding ReBAR, I believe through VKD3D_CONFIG=no_upload_hvv,force_host_cached. Some use no_upload_hv, I think this one is a typo, it's no_upload_hvv in VKD3D_CONFIG. But due to the fact that with typo settings some people can get it working, probably adding that does not add anything, so you may be able to just use force_host_cached probably. Haven't tried with reflex enabled.

Here is my command:

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8.dll,dxgi.dll=n,b" DXVK_CONFIG="dxgi.hideAmdGpu=True;dxgi.customVendorId=10de" DXVK_NVAPI_GPU_ARCH=GA100 PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=1 PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 VKD3D_CONFIG=no_upload_hvv,force_host_cached VKD3D_DISABLE_EXTENSIONS=VK_NV_low_latency2 __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_SKIP_CLEANUP=1 prime-run %command% -noDirectStorage

I use Proton Experimental, Nvidia driver 570, RTX 3070 Ti mobile.
EDIT: DXVK_NVAPI_GPU_ARCH should be GA100, supported values are here: https://github.com/jp7677/dxvk-nvapi/blob/master/README.md

Here is my command:

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8.dll,dxgi.dll=n,b" DXVK_CONFIG="dxgi.hideAmdGpu=True;dxgi.customVendorId=10de" DXVK_NVAPI_GPU_ARCH=GA100 PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=1 PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 VKD3D_CONFIG=no_upload_hvv,force_host_cached VKD3D_DISABLE_EXTENSIONS=VK_NV_low_latency2 __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_SKIP_CLEANUP=1 prime-run %command% -noDirectStorage

Friendly reminder PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI does not exist anymore since Proton 9.0, and NVAPI is enabled by default when possible unless explicitly disabled with PROTON_DISABLE_NVAPI.

Also where did -noDirectStorage come from? I couldn't find reference to it anywhere and I don't think forcing CPU decompression would be advisable anyways if you can utilize direct storage GPU decompression which I'd imagine would be much faster.

@shrublet
Probably placebo.
no noDirectStorage string in the exe.
sed -n -Ee '/no[dD]irect[sS]torage/p' MonsterHunterWilds.exe|hexdump -C

Also where did -noDirectStorage come from? I couldn't find reference to it anywhere and I don't think forcing CPU decompression would be advisable anyways if you can utilize direct storage GPU decompression which I'd imagine would be much faster.

Well, I saw it in protondb. Out of desperation, I tried to just combine all the flags and ENVs. -noDirectStorage was probably used in some other games so perhaps people just put it there. I did not try to remove the flags, just wishful thinking that it might work. Also how do you get GPU DirectStorage? As mine always said CPU in the option. Read somewhere that the game will always show CPU, do you guys get GPU there?

However, here is my take: I used REFramework but did not use DLSSTweaker, therefore I do not put dxgi.dll file in the game files. Presumably adding "dxgi.dll=n,b" causes it to load native dxgi first. I wonder if this can instead be removed when not using DLSSTweaker mod.

Now, for DXVK_NVAPI_GPU_ARCH, I read that it supports some values. Previously I mistakenly placed GA104 there, and my stutters are gone. However, when I put GA100, my stutters went back. I was afraid of tweaking these flags or switching Proton versions that Denuvo might soft ban me. However, I believe by putting GA104 there the env probably does not do anything that it can be removed completely, or probably it makes some DXVK components falied to load, but it does remove 90% of the stutters for me. Nonetheless, same as you I also use Ampere.

Some discussions about DirectStorage I found here: https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterwilds/mods/127?tab=posts

@gregory112
Apparently you can install Special K to verify if GPU decompression is working correctly. I currently don't have my game installed on an NVME drive anyways, so I wouldn't expect it to say GPU.

You don't need to include dxgi.dll in your WINEDLLOVERRIDES and I only included it for context of everything that may/may not affect the results I was personally getting. It won't do any harm having it since it'll just fall back on built-in, but its totally unnecessary.

DXVK_NVAPI_GPU_ARCH may or may not be needed, and I haven't tested without since I had spent the evening a/b testing a bunch of stuff already. I wasn't sure how reporting as AMD and then as Nvidia affected the architecture it is reported as, since by default, the dxvk-nvapi documentation says it reports as Pascal for other vendors, and I wanted to ensure DLSS features would function correctly. I'm not sure about what could cause stutters, and I'm wary to make performance claims generally. But, if it seems better for you, then by all means. I'd try to verify on multiple runs what seems to be affecting performance though to eliminate margin of error/external factors.

@shrublet
I did some testing myself. Mine is in an NVMe drive. I kid you not, after removing some flags and testing with them DXVK_NVAPI_GPU_ARCH=GA104 removes 90% of the stutters for me. GA104 is not even on the list of valid values. Tried removing it, or using GA100, got stutters. I think for now I will stay like this for a while until anyone got better flags. For now what I am aiming for is to eliminate stutters, as they are very annoying. Your flags have allowed me to use DLSS and I got better FPS for this, but the sttuters are very well annoying.

Working here!

I'm experiencing way more crashes today than I have been in recent days after installing the fix after update. Has anything been changed?

Tried stable and unstable versions of mesa / linux / proton and I experience stuttering in oilwell bason no matter what I do

I noticed GPU utilization drops massively to around 70% when there are more than 2 hunters battling a monster. My CPU is never above 40% average/single core (5900x 5ghz). I also have a 5700xt, Kernel 6.14, Mesa 25.0.2.

@codebam Are you using hd texture pack?
Those known to cause stuttering.
also mesa 25.0.1 have problem with vram usage, try at least update to 25.0.2.

I was using HD textures, but it happens with them off as well, and I was mistaken I actually tested with 25.0.3

Since last update on Proton Hotfix (04/09/2025), my directstorage issues are fixed.

Using a Nvidia RTX 4080 I can now play almost as good as my Win11 partition using those launch options:

PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=1 DXVK_CONFIG="dxgi.hideAmdGpu=True;dxgi.customVendorId=10de" DXVK_NVAPI_GPU_ARCH=AD100 %command%

Check the DXVK_NVAPI_GPU_ARCH value here for your NV GPU:
GK100 (Kepler)
GM000 (Maxwell Gen1)
GM200 (Maxwell Gen2)
GP100 (Pascal)
GV100 (Volta)
TU100 (Turing)
GA100 (Ampere)
AD100 (Ada)
GB200 (Blackwell)

EDIT 1: After playing a few hours. I still have problems with huge stutters when I relaunch the game after it compiled the shaders.

If I delete the shader.cache2 file from the game folder, and right after the in game shader compile screen, with the launch options I mentionned before, the game run perfectly fine.
If I close the game and launch it back, even after rebooting my computer. I have huge stutters.

So I compared the shader.cache2 file from my Win11 partition and Cachyos (Arch) partition.
Linux Cachyos: file size is 63,6 MB (63 569 624) (each time it recreate the file, it's always around 63,6 MB)
Windows 11: file size is 885,3 MB (885 252 320)

So i'm wondering, when closing the game properly on Linux, it doesn't write the shader.cache2 properly?

EDIT 2:
I took the shader.cache2 file from Win11 and copied it to Linux, same result and when I closed the game, file size was 63,6 MB again.
So copy / pasted again the W11 file to Linux, but this time changed it to read only:

❯ ls shader.cache2
.r--r--r-- 885M naj  8 avril 23:12  shader.cache2

And no more stutters >_<... game is very responsive, around 110 FPS with DLSS and FG.
Some minor vertex explosions are back on the Plains map, but nothing unplayable.

My Linux setup is:

Using Proton Hotfix.

I hope it helps

I believe I used to get stutters here and there and while stuttering, the game seems to be trying to recreate/recompile some shader caches every time. For now, I am almost stutter free. You might want to also try __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_SKIP_CLEANUP=1, although I am not sure this works for your case, as this removes the shader cache size limit as Nvidia seems to be pruning shader cache from time to time.

Also, do you have Vulkan shader cache setting enabled on Steam? I didn't before, but now I do, you might also want to try that

My final current setup that is still working for me (almost stutter free):
Proton Experimental bleeding-edge
3070 Ti Mobile, driver version 570 (nvidia-open)
Vulkan shader cache enabled, it has been downloaded and has been processed
DLSS Ultra Performance, but no frame generation
REFramework mod (dinput8.dll), might try to remove it later
Disable Reflex, might also try to remove it later
Command:

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8.dll=n,b" PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=1 DXVK_CONFIG="dxgi.hideAmdGpu=True;dxgi.customVendorId=10de" DXVK_NVAPI_GPU_ARCH=GA100 VKD3D_DISABLE_EXTENSIONS=VK_NV_low_latency2 __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_SKIP_CLEANUP=1 %command%

Hello,

You might want to also try __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_SKIP_CLEANUP=1, although I am not sure this works for your case, as this removes the shader cache size limit as Nvidia seems to be pruning shader cache from time to time.

Tried with that, same problem :'(

Also, do you have Vulkan shader cache setting enabled on Steam?

Yes it was enabled.

For now i'll use my ghetto fix with the shader (the game one, not vulkan) from w11 :/

Switching from bleeding edge to proton hotfix seems to have helped with my stuttering, haven't tried building shaders from w11 or anything, running with ReFramework.

In case anyone also experiences the game getting stuck on "Initializing Network" when starting: For me, it was because of using Proton Hotifx, it also happened when using the version 10 beta. After going back to 9-27, it worked again.

@Grausiga Could you provide some more details about what system you are running into this issue on?

In the current default setup (no monkeypatched dstorage etc.., no custom defined Proton version) it's still stuck on "Initializing network" for me. Don't even see 9-27 in the list of available Proton versions, but I've tried various combinations of Experimental, Experimental(bleeding-edge), Hotfix, 10.0-1-beta, and 9.0-4; all with and without changed dstorage. Changing the Proton Versions also triggered Denuvo eventually, so was locked out for 24h. All other games work perfectly.

EDIT 1: After playing a few hours. I still have problems with huge stutters when I relaunch the game after it compiled the shaders.

I had the exactly same issue, and it might related to shader cache not cached correctly, causing shader recompiled every time the game boots.

EDIT 2:
I took the shader.cache2 file from Win11 and copied it to Linux, same result and when I closed the game, file size was 63,6 MB again.
So copy / pasted again the W11 file to Linux, but this time changed it to read only:

But I failed to use the W11 shader.cache2. It cause in-game shader compilation every time the game boots.

Finally, I solved it by specifying __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_SKIP_CLEANUP=1 with __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_PATH="/absolute/path/to/custom/directory". The cached shader is around 2.2GB. No more stutter.

My finally options (Ryzen7700, RTX4070, Proton9):

I should've been more specific, I used Proton-GE and installed it myself and I can confirm the game still works using Proton-GE 9-27 on my system.

I have been experiencing crashes frequently after the first title update.

Checking the proton log it seems that a division by zero happens but I'm not that familiar with .NET nor proton/wine to investigate further than that.

Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon with AMD Ryzen 7 5700X and Nvidia 4060TI with 570.153.02 driver. Using Gamemode %command% switch on Experimental branch, the game loads and runs, but when exiting using the in-game menu, it freezes and superuser key must be used to get back to desktop. At that point it remains 'running' in Steam until force stopped. Both with and without __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_SKIP_CLEANUP=1 , shaders have to be compiled again at every game start. (I'm assuming this is related to the failed game shutdown.) I tried checking all files after install and deleting the crashreport dll and exe file as well. Nothing results in successful game closure and the game always requires shader compile.

As of June 2025 I'm still getting vertex explosions after ~10 minutes of gameplay every time. It starts like this:

They get worse the longer I play, quickly making the game unplayable because they obstruct the entire screen.

But I failed to use the W11 shader.cache2. It cause in-game shader compilation every time the game boots.

Finally, I solved it by specifying __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_SKIP_CLEANUP=1 with __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_PATH="/absolute/path/to/custom/directory". The cached shader is around 2.2GB. No more stutter.

My finally options (Ryzen7700, RTX4070, Proton9):

I tried using these two options with a similar hardware configuration, but in the end shader.cache2 was not written correctly, causing severe stutters the next time I booted up.
(__GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_PATH specifies the absolute path to where shader.cache2 will be created)

In my case, I had no choice but to either delete shader.cache2 every time and make it take 30 minutes to boot up, or copy compiled on Windows 11 to Linux and make it read-only.

I can confirm that if I delete shader.cache2 and let it rebuild every launch, the stuttering disappears. No command line arguments. If I allow vulkan shader caching, the rebuilding takes just ~3 min for me. I think deleting `shader.cache2' before every launch is an acceptable workaround for me.

Compilation times were similar even with vulkan shader pre-caching enabled. Do I need to allow background Vulkan shader processing in Steam's settings?

For me pre-caching makes the shader compilation progress bar much faster: from ~20min without pre-caching to ~1min with it. So yes, I do have it enabled.

Game has unplayable stuttering if you manage to fully load in to the lobby. Often crashes shortly after you join a lobby. Guaranteed crashes if you attempt to forge or change equipment if you launch the game without it compiling shaders.

Tried the shader cache fixes listed above, but neither seems to do anything. Copying a compiled shader pack from Win11 just forces the game to recompile shaders every launch.

Using Proton Experimental, which has worked in the past, I recently hard crashed Wilds as soon as I killed the Seregios in the story quest in the recent update. I can fight Lagiacrus no problem and do the whole fight with Seregios, but as soon as Seregios dies, I crash to desktop immediately. Otherwise I got no stuttering and a clean 60 FPS (no frame gen) at 1440p in most places (sometimes goes down a little in the Scarlet Forest).

Did you also swapped AMD FSR's dll to SDK 2.0.0 ( FSR 3.1.5 and 4.0.2 . Latest optiscaler ship with those).
Try reverting it back to original or SDK 1.1.4 ( FSR 3.1.4 )

A previously fixed issue with incorrect VRAM usage reporting has reoccurred.
Since this issue started occurring, sessions have started crashing randomly.
However, the session crash only occurs when playing Wilds and has not yet been encountered while playing any other games.

The VRAM usage misreporting issue occurs in all of the following Proton versions:

• GE Proton 10-10

Just to be sure, I replaced dstorage.dll and dstoragecore.dll with the 1.2.2 version and tested it, but the problem remained unchanged.

I tried deleting it and then reinstalling it, but that didn't change anything.
I tried using the latest version of REFramework available on github, but there was no difference.

Still get major vertex explosions on NVIDIA hardware no matter which Proton version I use and no matter how many times I clear shader caches (not just the shader.cache2 file, but also the vkd3d ones and the entire shadercache folder for MHW inside steamapps).

Also get major stuttering throughout any subsequent session following an initial session with shader cache compilation. In other words, the first launch of the game (with the initial in-game shader compilation step) experiences smooth gameplay (with the only caveat being vertex explosions, especially noticeable in the Windward Plains), but any game session (subsequent launch) where a shader cache was already present (i.e., no in-game shader compilation step on startup) experiences constant stuttering when going through every area, almost like it's trying to re-compile everything on the fly as I play, seemingly not actually using the original cache at all.

I have shader pre-caching enabled in Steam. I always wait for the pre-caching to complete before playing (after a first launch, I am never asked to wait for pre-caching in Steam though).

No mods are installed (fresh game installation). In-game settings are set to Ultra preset, but same problems occur even on Low preset. Frame generation is working fine. Upscaling is working fine.

Game works perfectly fine when the in game shaders are compiled. But any further launch causes the game to crash on a black screen before anything loads. (Clearing the shaders and verifying game files resolves it, but requires to regenerate shaders every launch)

@Puppy2Git this sounds similar to issues I've encountered on other games recently, can you try launching with PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command% and report if that works around this particular issue for you?

Attempting to run it with the argument causes a message to appears saying that it was an unsupported graphics card. Also it triggered the anti-tamper and I am locked out for another 24hours...

@lorentzforces Out of curiosity what size is your shader.cache?

Well... I deleted the config.ini and it booted.

Proton Experimental Bleeding Edge

Since today's Title Update 4 I'm experiencing crashes within 5 or 10 minutes of otherwise normal gameplay. It was working flawlessly yesterday.
It does not seems to be related to frame gen or upscaling.
No mod, deleted various cache file I found, tried a full reinstall.

Journalctl is showing a page fault GCVM_L2_PROTECTION_FAULT_STATUS that seems to match the timing of the crashes.
Sometime the crash break the whole desktop environment.

After updating to Nvidia driver 590.48.01, the game now boots properly.

Unfortunately, it is plagued by visual glitches as seen here.

Disabling DLSS reduces (but does not eliminate) the amount of visual glitches.

Does anyone know the state of Haptics in this game? I was trying to play it while wired and I'm pretty sure it treats some kind of 4th-5th audio channel as haptics rather than the actual intended vibration cues in the game (so-called Menu items should vibrate the controller and such)

I saw that @ClearlyClaire tried earlier in this thread but I don't see anyone else making an attempt to make haptics work.

i've got a weird issue where the game allows me to alt tab, but repeatedly crams focus back to it. i will have to spam click my browser for a solid 30 seconds to wrestle focus back from the game. help

Ray tracing no longer works, you can enable with the parameter /WineDetectionEnable=False, but the game just crashes now on loading if ray tracing is enabled.

I'm having the same issue, the videos work fine at first but after some time they just stop loading and if you open the menu the game crashes.
There are also some video tips during specific fights (i.e. the new gogmazios fight) that have the same issue but they don't cause the game to crash after one stops loading.
Every other video seems to be working fine.

I am getting random network disconnects on long play sessions, which the friend I play with, who uses Windows, does not suffer. It seems to be a Linux only issue.

currently getting repeating crashes on multiple versions of proton, including

• proton experimental [bleeding edge]
• proton 10.0-4
• proton 9.0-4
• proton GE 10.29-2

game crashes since version 1.040.03.00 till 1.040.03.02

the crashes still occur without any overlay or launch options on every proton version listed above

I believe I may have isolated the issue, but I'd like to confirm with the community. Can everyone on an AMD GPU share what their Anti-Aliasing setting is, and if it is not already off, try turning Anti-Aliasing off?

I noticed that when I turned it off, certain blur effects on many cutscenes such as Depth-of-Field began working correctly for various objects, most noticably the ones closest to the camera (example: the glowing blue lizard on the tree during the cutscene where you first enter the forest was blurred properly with AA off).

I have seen issues with Anti-Aliasing before in other games, most infamously in Phasmophobia after a botched update, and I know that certain types of AA can cause issues on AMD GPUs via Proton specifically.

After disabling, the crashes similar to the ones you all have posted here stopped happening. I was finally able to make it through the forest cutscene, and despite the jagged edges, the rest of the visual fidelity increased.

@Semperverus I'm closest to the quematrice cutscene where it's chasing some palicos carrying a big piece of meat, I disabled upscaling to have control over AA, but with FXAA+TAA I didn't really anything off. How noticeable is the issue? or does it depend on the cutscene itself?

@simifor for me it was causing the crashes to happen pretty frequently, mostly on cutscenes (the forest entry was the most consistent and repeatable), but occasionally in the open world. Once I turned off AA, the problem stopped.

Not home so I can't test but the crashes disappeared at some point, didn't change anti aliasing, may have been something that was updated in the meantime.

I do also remember changing some CPU settings back to defaults, but I'm not certain that was what stopped crashes for me

I'm also getting the Crash on Preview Video Playback, e.g the small embedded videos in the weapon menu.
mesa 26.1, proton-cachyos 10.0.20260207-3

Some videos play, but after some time only a loading icon is displayed. This is immediately followed by a crash.

I know Mods should only be used as a last resort, however disabling the Embedded Videos using reframework nightly and this mod at least lets me play the game.

@carloscarucce Thank you for the report! Unfortunately we've been unable to reproduce this failure so far and the log doesn't have any significant hints, which makes it nearly impossible to triage without further information. In order to try to narrow down the source of the failure, could you try dropping in dxvk and vkd3d-proton from the working Proton version (presumably Proton 10.0-4?) into the failing Proton version to see if that fixes the problem/changes the behavior? If Proton is stored in the default location, you can just:

cp -rf ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Proton 10.0/files/lib/dxvk/* ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Proton 11.0/files/lib/dxvk/.
cp -rf ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Proton 10.0/files/lib/vkd3d-proton/* ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Proton 11.0/files/lib/vkd3d-proton/.

After testing, you can simply delete the contents of Proton 11.0/files/lib/dxvk and Proton 11.0/files/lib/vkd3d-proton and use the Steam properties -> Installed Files -> "verify integrity of tool files" feature to redownload the correct Proton 11 files.

Thanks for the suggestions @alasky17

Just re-downloaded the game today along Proton eleven and updated the nvidia drivers.

Now the game is working as intended with much better performance, compared to proton 10

Hello,

Installed back the game after almost 1 year, I don't have weird artifacts, vertex explosions or stuttering but almost 50% of the time I crash when the game load to a new zone or a cutescene:

I use latest cachyos LTS kernel, RTX drivers and proton 11.

Thanks

I'd like to contribute another reproducible case involving Intel Battlemage and the xe kernel driver.

My system:

• GPU: Intel Arc B570 (Battlemage)
• Driver: Intel open-source Mesa 26.1.4
• Kernel: 7.1.3-2-cachyos
• Desktop: KDE Plasma 6 (Wayland)

Proton versions tested:

• Proton 10.0-4
• GE-Proton 11-4

The game consistently freezes while navigating equipment-related menus, especially while:

• Forging equipment
• Comparing armor
• Changing equipment sets

After the freeze, Wine first reports that the application is not responding, followed a few seconds later by an "Unhandled exception" dialog.

At exactly the same time, the kernel reports:

xe 0000:05:00.0: [drm] Tile0: GT0: Engine reset: engine_class=rcs
xe 0000:05:00.0: [drm] Tile0: GT0: Timedout job ... in MonsterHunterWi
xe 0000:05:00.0: [drm] Xe device coredump has been created

The issue is reproducible with both Mesa 26.1.4 and Mesa 26.1.5.

Mesa 26.1.4 improves desktop recovery after the GPU reset, but both Mesa versions eventually trigger the same xe engine timeout.

After several days of testing, I opened an issue in the Intel xe kernel tracker containing the complete investigation, kernel logs and devcoredump information:

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/xe/kernel/-/issues/8641

If needed, I can also provide the Proton log, the xe devcoredump, or perform any additional testing.

Thank you for your time and for maintaining Proton. Please let me know if you need any additional information, logs, or if you would like me to perform further testing.

@KeyonAshton I had success adding %command% /WineDetectionEnabled:False` as a launch option, it seems the games wine detection is causing these segfaults.

I can also confirm that the game works after adding the /WineDetectionEnabled:False option. However, I still experience noticeable stuttering and frame drops with Proton 11 (tested with Proton GE 11.3 and proton-cachyos-11.0-20260703), whereas Proton 10 (tested with GE-Proton 10-34) runs perfectly.

I am using an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super with the latest 610.57.04 driver and the following launch options:

PROTON_USE_SDL=1 gamemoderun %command% /HID/UseISteamInput:False /WineDetectionEnabled:False

With Proton 10, after enabling frame generation and adjusting a few graphics settings, the game consistently stays above 130 FPS. With Proton 11, however, severe stuttering occurs when the first dialogue box appears and when entering the camp for the first time, as if the game were loading assets in extreme slow motion. Even after waiting for the stuttering to subside, the frame rate continues to fluctuate between 110 and 130 FPS during normal gameplay.

I haven't fully gone into the game yet (busy right now), but i was able to finally get to the title screen with that launch option. Thank you.

Could not get the game to launch without adding PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=1 %command% /WineDetectionEnabled:False to my launch options. Simply hiding my GPU, or disable wine detection was not enough for me. It required both.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080, driver 610.57.04.

The game more or less works perfectly as long as I select Proton Hotfix, I just can't use any nvapi features like DLSS or DLSS-FG so I am stuck to FSR3.1. If I use a non-Hotfix version of Proton, such as 11, or a GE/Cachy fork, then the game will not close gracefully and instead needs to be stopped.

Arch Linux on Linux 7.1.6-arch1-1 using Proton Hotfix as said above.

game also no longer works for me on any of my AMD setups nor my laptop 5080 on anything other than hotfix. I'm able to enable low latency+boost mode however at least

strange, the game just worked for me after verifying game files and deleting my config file in the game dir. It only crashed on the first launch after the update then no problems since

@KeyonAshton @amtoaer @skarekrow @hoppyhopps Is anyone still hitting a failure that requires /WineDetectionEnabled:False? Due to the timing of the reports, I suspect that folks were testing experimental (not bleeding-edge) and Proton-GE which did not yet have the vkd3d-proton fix for this issue. Current Proton - Experimental should have the fix shipping (no need for bleeding-edge). Please let me know if you still have any issues without hiding Wine on Proton - Experimental.

I do not know if Proton-GE has the fix yet or not (although I imagine the latest build probably would).

@alasky17 At the previous time of writing, the only version that worked properly for me was hotfix. It's possible I failed to test bleeding-edge and that the issue had been resolved from the beginning.

I have just tested now with Experimental and all Nvidia features seem to work, making PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=1 irrelevant, it also seems to work totally fine when I was not disabling wine detection.

I would assume that a newer release of GE would also work fine.

Thanks!

@alasky17 another working report here! Though I was using cachyos proton at the time of writing, I swapped to experimental to see if it would launch.

I assume a newer version of cachyos proton will be cut and it will also work. The 20260703 version required that flag, which is the latest one tagged currently.

The 4 August update (1.0.42) started throwing errors upon starting 3D render at the title screen, however they could be safely ignored and game was still playable. Proton 11.0-2 completely broke the game for me, and game crashes to desktop upon starting 3D render. Game launches perfectly on hotfix though, with no errors either.
