@Yar4e The issue seems to be baked in to the trace.
Could you try installing the Windows version of d3dcompiler_43 and d3dcompiler_47 into your prefix with protontricks/winetricks? I see a whole bunch of messages from the Wine ones in your log. If that doesn't help then try with d3dx11_43 also.

YYar4e 2023-12-14 github

@Blisto91 Installed d3dcompiler_43 and d3dcompiler_47 using protontricks - this doesn't help. Installing d3dx11_43 doesn't help either..

Does it show correctly with wined3d?

YYar4e 2023-12-14 github

If 'WINEDLLOVERRIDES="*d3d9,*d3d10,*d3d10_1,*d3d10core,*d3d11,*dxgi=b" %command%' is the correct way to run app with wined3d from Steam then wined3d show the same incorrect message window in this game.. So it's not a DXVK problem but WINE. How to make sure app use wined3d not dxvk?

BBlisto91 2023-12-15 github

In proton you need to do PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 as the Proton script might overrule you otherwise (at least used to).
So PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command% in full

YYar4e 2023-12-17 github

Yes it's not DXVK bug. Using wined3d shows the same problem..

@Yar4e did you try to report this bug to Wine? I’m having the same problem and I tried a few searches there without success.

Nope, I have an excuse: I can't remember the password from bugs.winehq.org)

Ccasasfernando 2025-04-04 github

Ok. I may report it myself. It’s kind of a weird bug, no obvious Wine errors.
Thanks
