Battlefield 4 broken shaders (white and black flickering)
Battlefield 4 requires rendering to a linear buffer, which is not supported. Vulkan doesn't support this natively so it'll require some workarounds and hacks to make this work.
warn: D3D11: Cannot create render target view for a buffer
Allright. I heard there're patches for that but I don't know where to search them. Do you have some hints/links for me what to search for?
In addition: Does this mean neither Vulkan nor DXVK can fix these problems in the future and hacks need to be applied all the time?
I'm not aware of any patches that would fix this issue.
No, it doesn't mean that DXVK will never implement it. It just means that it's going to be hard to do, and since BF3/4 and possibly Dragon Age Inquisition seem to be the only games that need it, it has very low priority.
Well, thank you!
Not sure if that's the same thing...!?

They made a patch some dude in discord . Works on bf 4 but after i died the grafics went bad , But after a restart of the game it works again
That patch was only a single line of code that allowed the game to run, nothing more.
I see, so thank you I'll just leave this open and see if I might find some time to look into the issue or someone else does.
one of the guys in discord has it running and with an adjusted config it seems to run fine on nvidia at least. Iirc, the new beta driver improved the situation additionally afaik. I have bf3 running fine here. MSAA is not possible, it kills perf with the new nv driver and crashes with the old one. Everything else is fine beside a game restart is necessary after dying or finishing a level cause of garbled textures otherwise.
Strange thing . Its not all the time the graphics being garbled . If you run a campain try die many times. Sometimes it work and sometimes its more or less garble. Hope you understand my bad English
Do all of you use nVidia? Or does someone sometimes get non-broken graphics with Mesa and AMD and Mesa? If it works: Which Mesa version do you have?
I use only nvidia . I have a rx560 4gb as back up .

Do you have any link to that or a quote? Would like to test out a bit more
Hi,I think I fixed the issue, If you enable VAAPI in the staging tab the visuals are fine.
Have it enabled, but I still get those glitching/flickering bullet trails and smokes.
Also: Loading a map and the game runs FINE. But on map change / server change, graphics are fucked up with that flickering stuff. So I need to restart the game (not only quit from server and rejoin, but close BF4, start up again) and it's fine again.
Can you tell me with which version of WINE and DXVK you did it?
EDIT: Golmund Railway always has flickering and shit. Maybe that's a map to investigate
Enabled VAAPI to . Dont work. Diffrent maps works like a charm but many dont . Battlefield 3 has the same problem .
The game worked fine for about 1 week now, but today it's been fristrating, again.
AFAIK no updates or other shit - I didn't even restart my PC between two runs, but EVERY map now has ground textures missing and heavy flickering. https://i.imgur.com/8cuof7u.jpg
I've got VAAPI checked and run without the Lutris' runtime, but it doesn't matter now how I do it - flickering and shizzle.
Running proprietary nvidia 390.48-11 on Arch Linux. WINE version doesn't matter: staging 3.5, 3.5, 3.7, 3.anything... everywhere the same error
Any other idea I might try?
Ok, seems to be connected to graphics options again. This is mine for now: https://i.imgur.com/jPM1K1C.jpg
TL;DR Medium settings overall with disabled Anti-aliasing and fancy stuff
Little bummer with having a GTX 1080, but it gets playable again
Still the following behaviour: Loading one map will run it fine, no problems. (except for very few maps, like Golmud Railway, which always has bullet trail flickering and more problems)
On map change (or leave map and go to another server), flickering and other problems appear for 100%. So after finishing a map, I always have to close the game and re-run it - then it's fine again for one map.
I might investige more which graphic setting does this shit in particular, but as I always have to reload the whole game and map, I don't have much energy to do that
My bet would be terain setting, that also does not work on maximum in bf3.
Anyone tried to patch/hack the shaderstuff ?
Hi,
for me that issue is fixed in BF3 with latest master. Can you guys recheck for the BF4 status ?
Many thanks !

@cRaZy-bisCuiT , @Trollwut : This issue should be fixed, please retest. Many thanks !
I can confirm that BF4 works fine now on my gtx 770 with 396.24.02 drivers, no flickering or other graphical glitches.
Thanks for confirming.
Sorry, didn't have enough time to test, but tested it now.
Yes, can change maps now like I want without graphical glitches :) Didn't test all maps, but those broken maps.
Arch Linux, everything up to date, nvidia proprietary
Does anyone test it with AMD Mesa? I'll try when I find some time, maybe tonight. Sorry for not getting back to you - I'm kinda busy atm.
Yes . Im on Arch with mesa-git and latest dxvk 0.60 No problems here . Running from lutris
I'm getting the see through/white shaders with mesa and dxvk 0.91
Device: Radeon RX Vega (VEGA10, DRM 3.27.0, 4.19.2-041902-generic, LLVM 8.0.
0) (0x687f)
Known issue, seems to be some sort of Mesa/LLVM regression.
Is anyone able to upload me their compiled shaders? Compiling takes forever on my PC and it makes the game unplayable.
Sorry for going head first on a 2 year old issue.
That would require someone to have the same GPU and exact same driver as you.
The legality of uploading shaders is also questionable given that you're sharing game assets.
Maybe try Fossilize.
How could you statically compile these Shaders? These stuttering is happening all the time while you start a map. No caching seems to take place. RX 480 + Mesa @Archlinux.

have you set a folder for your generated cache?
This is me having Origin games set via Lutris:
It's, well, simply a path to some folder. In this case, in the WINE directory (but doesn't have to be there).
Maybe it doesn't save shader cache if no directory is being specified. You might want to check this.
Thanks! I don't use Lutris, but since this is a ENV I could set that manually I guess.

@K0bin Exact same driver version as well? Because it would suck very much if I had to recompile each time mesa updates. I have no idea what Fossilize should do for me and how to use it. Can you please explain?
