Compatibility Report

  • Name of the game with compatibility issues: Dying Light The Beast
  • Steam AppID of the game: 3008130

System Information

  • GPU: Intel Arc B580 Graphics (BMG G21)
  • Video driver version: Mesa main
  • Kernel version: drm-tip 7.0.0-rc2+
  • Proton version: Proton 10.0-4

I confirm:

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

Symptoms

Game crashes on startup when user has changed used version from dx12 to dx11 in graphics options.

Reproduction

Launch game normally. Go the Options -> Video -> Advanced Video Settings. Change "Rendered Mode" from D3D12 to D3D11. Press X to save options. Game asks to restart the game, reply "yes".

Now during restart, with Proton 10.0-4 game quits early and does not start. It does not start even when trying again from Steam UI 'Play' button.

Issue can be fixed by using Proton 9.0-4 so it seems like a regression.

To be able to launch game again with Proton 10.0-4 (or Proton Experimental) user need to modify following file:

~/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/compatdata/3008130/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Documents/dying light the beast/out/settings/video.scr

and change RendererMode("d3d11") there back to RendererMode("d3d12"). Alternatively user can switch to Proton 9.0-4 and game will launch.

Here is log output of failing launch with Proton 10.0-4:

I've recently been experiencing a large FPS loss with any FSR version enabled with Proton Experimental. I go from 164 to ~30 fps when it's enabled. I don't have this issue with Proton 11 (Beta). It also only occurs when using DX12 in the game settings, DX11 seems to work fine with FSR.
