System information

  • GPU: Intel® HD Graphics 5500
  • Driver: Mesa 25.3.6
  • Wine version: Wine 11.0 & Proton Experimental

Log files

Please attach Proton or Wine logs as a text file:

  • When using Proton, set the Steam launch options for your game to PROTON_LOG=1 %command% and attach the corresponding steam-xxxxx.log file in your home directory.
  • When using regular Wine, use wine game.exe > game.log 2>&1 and attach the resulting game.log file.
  • On Windows, log files will usually appear next to the games exe or in its base folder.

Well the log already says what the problem is, ancient Intel IGPs don't support descriptor indexing and DXVK 2.7+ hard-requires that feature.

Can't do much here, you're going to need to stick to 2.6.x with that GPU.

(among other things descriptor indexing requires bindless images and those are skylake+)

This isn't documented in the driver support wiki page btw (even the release notes just mentioneded VK_KHR_maintenance5 being required).

It's mentioned at the bottom of the Required Vulkan features section on the wiki page. Not directly mentioned in the changelog though yes

is there an easy way to swap dxvk versions?

Mmirh 2026-03-19 github

Oh right, but shouldn't it be worded as support for VK_EXT_descriptor_indexing?

KK0bin maintainer 2026-03-19 github

The extension got promoted with Vulkan 1.2. So it's technically not EXT_descriptor_indexing anymore.

@Milli189 For regular system Wine you'd just downloaded 2.6.2 from the release page and install it as mentioned in the readme.
For Proton you'd have to overwrite the dxvk files they ship with. The path might differ depending on how Steam was installed but on my system it would be ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Proton - Experimental/files/lib/wine/dxvk/ for Experimental. You'd then overwrite the files in i386-windows and x86_64-windows with the files in x32 and x64 from the release archive respectively.
Note that you'd need to replace them again if Proton gets an update so if you want it to last longer you could replace the ones in the Proton 10 stable release instead.
