Software information

Starcraft II Ultra settings

System information

In the campaign mode, specifically within the Battleship Command Center (Bridge) scene, I'm experiencing strange gray noise/artifacting (see attached image). This issue occurs on both AMD and Nvidia GPUs. However, I do not experience this problem when running the game under a Windows operating system."

Please make an apitrace. You can find a guide for how to do that here: https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/wiki/Using-Apitrace

Hello!

I saw in the manual that you can use the Windows operating system for tracing. Can I send the logs from the Windows operating system tracing here?

Sure but logs don't help us, we need the .trace files. I also recommend compressing them first (just put them in a zip file) because the resulting compressed files are much smaller which saves a lot of time on the upload.

Sorry, my English isn't very good. I only managed to capture the Battle.net trace file. I'm not sure if it will be helpful! Thanks anyway!

Thanks for trying but unfortunately we do need an apitrace of the game. Make sure you put the apitrace dll file right next to the exe file of the game. You dont even need to use DXVK while making the apitrace, that doesn't matter.

Hello, I'm trying to trace the StarCraft II process again. However, it seems to be tightly integrated with Battle.net, as it automatically launches Battle.net during the tracing process. When I attempt to directly trace the SC2_x64.exe process, I receive an error indicating that icuuc52.dll cannot be found, preventing the code from executing.

You can launch it through Battlenet. Just make sure the Apitrace wrapper DLLs are placed next to SC2.exe (or whatever it's called).

Hello, here's the extracted file. I hope it's helpful. Thank you.

The trace is sadly empty.
I have not so far been able to reproduce this ingame on my RTX 4080
