What dll files?

You don't have to replace anything for they are not there. Just put them in the game's exe folder. Look at the DXVK wiki and don't ruin my thread please.

Yes, I know apitrace can make things very slow. I provided a lot apitraces but this indeed freezes the game.

Yep, the GPU is extremely low utilized:

This is a peak, it sits around 2-3%.
Here you are a perf top log:
perf.log

The perf top output might be more useful if you limit it to the game process with i.e. perf top -s comm,dso,symbol -p $(pgrep gamename.exe) and use a dxvk build that is not stripped. You can use this build of dxvk master if you don't want to build one yourself: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LqPoQO5Omz_4z92s8Hmmof5ZZ_y_ShkL/view?usp=sharing

Thank you, here is the new log :)
perf.log

I'm at work now but when I get home I'll try it ASAP. Thank you very much for your attention!

I've confirmed that d3d11.apitraceMode = True does not resolve or attenuate any of the performance issues encountered.

I've also recorded an APITrace which can be found here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vScjsJ6Ml9IHH9yES_Kva8VtKS8bCJLu/view?usp=sharing

That's great, thanks.
I can confirm d3d11.apitraceMode = True doesn't help on my end either.

But it's strange the problem, also exists on Windows with DXVK.

I tried:
dxgi.customDeviceId = 10de dxgi.customVendorId = 1c06
dxgi.customDeviceId = e366 dxgi.customVendorId = 1002
and:
allowMapFlagNoWait
But nothing helps.

Out of curiosity, I tried on Win10 and Win7 (because why not) and it does the exact same thing on both systems. The title screen with the motorbike is crawling at 2 fps, although the CPU and GPU barely reach 2%.

Would you be able to see if https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/commit/eac94823c82b77530ea2991c83f05dc81711c3e5 has any impact on the game's perf? Artifacts should be available here. https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/runs/2630514955

@ZereoX @dreamhunt

I justed debugged the game and yes, it needs GetFrameStatistics and GetLastPresentCount to return some about correct values (I didn't try with the referenced commit though yet, used my own WIP debug changes to check).

@Joshua-Ashton, thanks but I really don't know how to use this. I can compile DXVK, I can apply patches but I don't know how to use this commit to apply it to the source in order to compile it :(

I guess SyncRefreshCount should not be the same as PresentCount, the SyncRefreshCount counts vblanks, not presents. Not sure yet what exactly is critical for the game. In my local debug stuff I just count vblanks as (QPC / vblank_interval_in_qpc_units) and SyncQPCTime as vblanks * vblank_interval_in_qpc_units

Can you give me the dlls with this commit to try it or explain to me how to get the changes in order to compile them?

I linked a build in my message.

Unfortunately it doesn't help:

@Joshua-Ashton Same results using the build artifacts linked above.

Edit: This was ran with DXVK's DXGI on Proton 6.3-4. I've also confirmed the same result is also observed on Windows.

You'll need to set WINEDLLOVERRIDES=dxgi=n, sorry I did not mention that.

I will also get the game and test it myself.

@Joshua-Ashton For reference, here is the patch on top of Proton's dxgi which help here (100+ fps on menu).

Yes, it's set to native :)

Can you give me this dxgi? Or can I apply the patch to DXVK's source and should it work?
Edit:
Hmm, tried and it seems it can't be applied.
can't find file to patch at input line 15 Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

Will look at this again later today once I finish rehearsals for a show I am in :)

@gofman Thank you, this patch indeed solves the performance problem in this game.

No idea how to apply this patch. Thank you for coming up with a solution though.

Could someone link patched files? I'm here because of the same issue but i don't understand how to patch

Patched dxgi for Proton 6.3-4. Extract and replace dxgi.dll.so (but first back it up) in steamapps/common/Proton 6.3/dist/lib64/wine.

And remove WINEDLLOVERRIDES=dxgi=n from the game Launch Options, if it's present there.

dxgi.dll.so.zip

Any option for windows? I am ad amd gpu user and I would like to use dxvk instead of dx11 to get better performance

Then use Linux ;)
Thank you, Kron4ek, working great!

Then use Linux ;)
Thank you, Kron4ek!

Thanks, worked for me.

it seems there is a little bug with the patch. if I set vsync to 60 the cap is 30, if I set it to 30 the cap is 15

Yes! And it's working much faster than dxgi.dll.so. With your build the game is running over 240 FPS and with the patched dxgi.dll.so ~75-80!

Opps, the performance difference is due Wine versions. With Proton 6.3-4 and the newest Wine versions it's slow but with Wine-Staging-Tkg 5.15 it flies! Anyway, your build is working great. Thank you!

Any fixes for Windows?

the branch should work on windows

the branch should work on windows

Could you please add some guide to compile dlls on windows or maybe add the compiled dlls? I’mnot that practical with this stuff, i just wanted to play days gone with amd gpu :)

There are builds for every commit if you click the checkmark for it.

or if you want the direct link: https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/suites/2793793675/artifacts/62048006

What I was looking for, thanks.

Did this and allthough my fps are way better now in all areas, they immediately drop down to 10-20 every few seconds as soon as I start moving. Makes the game unplayable for me

I tried Proton and Wine and I don't have such problem. The game is running very well.

Oh yeah that could be it. I'll test that.

I am testing this on windows and so far I can tell that everything is fine except for the fact that the game now does not recognize HDR monitor. I don't know if this is an issue or it is normal behaviour

@K0bin I think that was really the problem. Left the game open for a bit and it's way better now. Still a few stutters so I'm gonna keep it open a bit longer, but already way better. Thanks for the help!

@K0bin strange, because I played AC Origins with dxvk and hdr. Well, no problem, thank you all!

i can't get it to work neither with tkg nor GE proton tried several version from 5 to latest, replacing only the .so file and also using the whole latest dxvk CI build. With the latest dxvk i get decent fps in the menu and cutscenes but as soon as gameplay starts it drops to 0-1 fps, changing the graphic settings has no influence

EDIT: well, after clean fresh install it is good now, thanks!

I'm having same issues here.

I've tried to run different versions of the game: steam and gog - booth, same issue.

When game starts I got 60FPS stable. Intro (rendered by engine, not movie) showing 60FPS. Menu showing 60FPS. As soon game starts I get 1FPS. When I press escape (with game scene rendered in background) it shows 60FPS. If I get back to the game - 1FPS again!

Makes no sense. Like game engine doing something really wrong.

I tried to run game without DXVK but WINED3D showing 4FPS in menu, and broken colors.

My system: i3-12100F / RX6600 (amdgpu), recent wine (winehq-9.15-x86_64)

This bug should be reopened.

I compiled and install ntsync kernel module and wine-tkg-ntsync. Games runs at full speed gives me 70FPS in the game with maxiumum graphical settings on my hardware (12100F, RX6600).
