Game: NFSU2 (2004 DX9)
( jc141 linux version loaded by "./start.e-w.sh" )

System_info

• Debian SID kernel 7.0.10+deb14-amd64
• Proc & mem: i5 4200U @ 2.3GHz (Haswell), 8GB DDR3L
• GPU: Radeon HD8670m (Switchable Graphics, integrated Intel HD4400 --> disabled in dxvk.conf)
• Driver: Amdgpu (via modesetting intel/amd)
  (amdgpu has glamor disabled, only intel has it)
• Wine version: 11.10
• DXVK version: 2.7.1

PROBLEM
Game runs mostly fine: main intro video ok >> main menu ok >> career begin: intro video ok / 1st & 2nd car runs through city ok >> next LOADING SCREEN NEVER ENDS (keeps animating after entering a garage or a race), with no hard crash, terminal keeps shows it changed buffer size from 1366x768 to 160x31 back and forth a few times. Since it keeps loading and animating, it's running but never completing, I type <Ctrl + C> on the terminal to end it.

NOTE
Warning in the teminal log (see full log below):
D3D9DeviceEx::SetRenderState: Unhandled render state 161

NO APITRACE
