FIFA 2003 crash on startup with DXVK
Works just fine here:
Your apitrace also plays back just fine...
Looking at the logs, I see:
wine client error:158: write: Bad file descriptor
... which I don't get. Either way, doesn't look like an issue with dxvk at least. Try a more recent Wine, I guess?
P.S.: Probably also worthwhile to check dxvk master.
Tried master from https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/actions/runs/20370319301/artifacts/4924229901 but it fails to start as well (with a different error though, let me know if you would like a log for it as well).
Which Wine version/flavour did you use to repro? I will try to use the latest one from 10.x but I was able to repro with 10.7 which is only a few months old.
Regarding the apitrace, I copied the dlls to the game directory but I didn’t remove DXVK’s dlls from the prefix (e.g.: windows/system32). Was that a mistake?

I'm on the latest Wine Staging - think it's 11.0-rc4 at this point.

No, that's fine. But in this case it doesn't help reproduce the problem you're experiencing.
I managed to repro with Wine Staging 10.20 (latest one on 10.x branch) and dxvk 2.7.1.
Not sure what happened last time since I tried too many things on the previous prefix, but restarted from scratch and managed to repro consistently while also collecting an apitrace and logs.
Without dxvk (working):
- Apitrace: fifa2003_wine_staging_10_20_wined3d_apitrace.zip
- Log: fifa2003_wine_staging_10_20_wined3d_log.zip
With dxvk (crashing on start up. Apitrace files are very small so not sure if they are useful):
- Apitrace: fifa2003_wine_staging_10_20_dxvk_apitrace.zip
- Log: fifa2003_wine_staging_10_20_dxvk_log.zip
Next I will try with dxvk master and report back.
Thanks
Tried again dxvk master from https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/actions/runs/20370319301/artifacts/4924229901 with Wine Staging 10.20 and I can confirm it works, so whatever the cause of the problem is with dxvk 2.7.1 and FIFA 2003, it seems to be resolved in master.
Having said that, I also tested dxvk master with a Wine-GE 8-26 prefix and found that DXVK doesn't work there, but as mentioned before with a different error:

Does this mean that next version of DXVK will stop working with older Wine version (e.g.: Wine-GE 8-26)?
Edit: BTW @WinterSnowfall I noticed in your screenshots above that while testing you wasn't using dxvk 2.7.1 but dxvk master instead, hence why I believe you wasn't able to reproduce the issue 😏
Interesting. Well yes, I always follow master for obvious reasons, but can't say I can think of a reason for any breakage with 2.7.1, since not much has changed in d3d8 since then.
But anyway, happy that you got it working too 😉.

It's possible older winevulkan is no longer compatible, I'm not entirely sure why that extension isn't picked up. Nobody's really testing ancient Wine versions with the latest dxvk.

Should I open a separate issue/question to get confirmation about this?
For my specific use case it’s very important to confirm this. I have too many games installed from retail media that will stop working once dxvk is updated from 2.7.1 to vNext so I would like to prepare in advance.
I went ahead and tested the game with DXVK 2.6.2 and 2.7. Works fine with both version.
The problem seems to be specific to DXVK 2.7.1 so I think we can close this.
Thanks

Installed FIFA 2003 on a new Wine prefix (tried Wine 10.7 and Wine-GE 8-26). The game works fine with wined3d but it crashes on startup (very early, before any intro video) with DXVK. Partial details below:
