Hello, I have trouble with Manhunt 2. While using dxvk 2,6, it doesn't run while previous Version 2.5.3, it works normally.

This is Manhunt 2 Log.

Hi there.
Are you able to get a apitrace of the game? Just follow the instructions here https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/wiki/Using-Apitrace and get past the part that usually crashes with dxvk.

Thank you for the trace, unfortunately it doesn't capture a whole lot, so won't help much in debugging the issue. I assume it was captured using dxvk? If so, can you please try to capture one without dxvk (so native Windows or WineD3D, depending on which platform you are on)?

Just getting a bit further ahead to the point where it crashes/exits with dxvk would be enough (or at least on the game's main menu).

i capture it without dxvk. wait i try again

In that case please:

  • capture one without dxvk, but until the game gets to the main menu at least
  • capture one with dxvk up until the point of the crash

And share both here.

okay.

this is for non-dxvk : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-lrxcxI9__bsp7vt1PQlc_sJ4sDMaWEV/view?usp=sharing

i try with dxvk but still doesn't launch because it conflicted between d3d9's dxvk and d3d9's apitrace.

You can leave only dxvk's d3d9.dll next to the game's executable and run: C:\Path_To_Apitrace_Folder\bin\apitrace.exe trace -a d3d9 Game.exe from the game folder.

-a d3d9 Game.exe, what's a mean ?? I know Manhunt2.exe but like this. C:\apitrace-12.0-win32\bin\apitrace.exe trace -Manhunt2..exe or what ??

WWinterSnowfall 2025-03-14 github

C:\apitrace-12.0-win32\bin\apitrace.exe trace -Manhunt2..exe or what ??

C:\apitrace-12.0-win32\bin\apitrace.exe trace -a d3d9 Manhunt2.exe should be fine. Run from the folder where Manhunt2.exe is located.

OOGPoetoe 2025-03-14 github

C:\apitrace-12.0-win32\bin\apitrace.exe trace -a d3d9 Manhunt2.exe

okay. but my trouble, the game folder in E:\NonSteamGames\Rockstar Games\Manhunt 2. so i should do ??

Yes, open up a Command Prompt and type:

E:
cd "E:\NonSteamGames\Rockstar Games\Manhunt 2"
C:\apitrace-12.0-win32\bin\apitrace.exe trace -a d3d9 Manhunt2.exe

Got it. but as i said before, still doesn't launch with 2.6 and doesn't give a trace.

Alright, no worries then. I can however play back without issues (on dxvk) the trace you've captured above, so not sure how to further debug this. I'll try correcting how we handle some odd calls the game is making, but I'm not sure if that will fix anything. Will keep you posted.

@OGPoetoe Feel free to give it a shot with this build (note that you need to be logged in on GitHub for the link to work), but I doubt it will fix it: https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/actions/runs/13857589455/artifacts/2752895183
