[D3D9] FUZZUP - Unknown Format encountered
For that bot there
That sure is a virus if I've seen one

Can't trace. Game crashes loading after scanning arcade card. Game log shows at crash:
Sure you can. For one you can attach a trace with dxvk up to the point of the crash, which would be helpful (whatever it captures up to apitrace: flushing trace). And you can also capture a trace of the game without dxvk, getting past the point of the crash, which will help us (hopefully) reproduce the crash on trace playback. In any case, we can't do much wihout traces.

Well, to be fair, that was without DXVK I think. Seeing as according to https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/wiki/Using-Apitrace
I had to replace DXVK's d3d9.dll with APITrace's variant of d3d9.dll
So literally the game is just... Crashing at that point with APITrace's d3d9.dll
Oh, so even apitrace crashes on capture, got it. Sigh. Yeah, it might also not like those dubious interfaces the game is trying to use, not sure.

Here's the .trace for it.
Like I said, it works until I scan a card, then the game tries loading some things for graphics and well, I guess crashes APITrace.

Also that APItrace crash seems to happen any time the game tries to play a video... So I think the main reason it crashes is when trying to play the video background for the title screen
@SoftieTechCat Which formats are DXT1 and ATI2?
warn: ConvertFormat: Unknown format encountered: 826496599
That's FOURCC for WVC1. The FOURCC WVC1 is mentioned on here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/medfound/usingthewindowsmediavideo9advancedprofilecodec.
That seems sensible considering the game is also trying to use DXVA (old DirectX video API).
IDirect3DDevice9::QueryInterface: unsupported IID IID_IDirect3DDxva2Container9
warn: ConvertFormat: Unknown format encountered: 1448433993
That's IYUV.
warn: ConvertFormat: Unknown format encountered: 808596553
That's I420.
All of them are mentioned on here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/medfound/video-subtype-guids
That said, using those FOURCC formats in D3D9 might be some cursed implementation detail of how DXVA works on Windows. We won't support that if thats the case. It'll come down to what Wine does and whether the game works with that.
@SoftieTechCat
The game isn't on Steam and I can't find it online. So where can we find the game to test it?
Well that formats thing was me just trying to search up the format values and finding stuff on other forums LMAO.
The game seemed to work on wine... Well, albeit from no Exclusive Audio support from wine, but WineASIO fixes that issue.
ALSO, I renamed the Movies folder so the game couldn't play any video, then:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YCB-oalQQ8_TiV4EO08RxYmxoKz7bLSR/view?usp=drive_link
APITrace was able to let me progress to where the issue with the textures typically happens!
As for the game, I would probably have to be the one to test it.
Unless y'all want to add me on discord. Seeing as I'd have to give you a card ID.
(Seeing as this game needs a custom server to run-)

There's a failure on an UpdateTexture call, which is why, I guess, you are seeing the "placeholder" image.
It looks like it's hitting this validation on our end:
if (srcFirstMipExtent != dstFirstMipExtent) {
// UpdateTexture can be used with textures that have different mip lengths.
// It will either match the the top mips or the bottom ones.
// If the largest mip maps don't match in size, we try to take the smallest ones
// of the source.
srcMipOffset = srcTexInfo->Desc()->MipLevels - mipLevels;
srcFirstMipExtent = util::computeMipLevelExtent(srcTexInfo->GetExtent(), srcMipOffset);
dstFirstMipExtent = dstTexInfo->GetExtent();
}
if (srcFirstMipExtent != dstFirstMipExtent)
return D3DERR_INVALIDCALL;
I guess the fallback we have isn't sufficient to address whatever the game is doing.
P.S.: It looks fine if I comment that block, but obviously we have to figure out why it misbehaves vs native:
The card artwork bug is fixed now on master. Regarding those cursed video interfaces the game is querying, I don't really see a way forward, so it's most likely something we'll have to live without in dxvk.
Do those missing video interfaces cause actual issues?
Do those missing video interfaces cause actual issues?
I think @SoftieTechCat mentioned video playback is still off sync on Windows with dxvk, however if that's down to those missing interfaces or anything else is anyone's guess.
Yeah, video just seems heavily desynced (Like, playing slower than it should). For some songs, the video will be in the middle of the chorus even though the actual song already ended. Which is a good 10+ second desync.

They affect the quality of videos in some cases, halo 2 vista's Microsoft Game Studio's intro for example has more banding and visible aliasing on the text in the absence of these interfaces

Attempting to use DXVK causes the game to be unable to load certain images, such as player profiles, making them be a fallback image.
