I'm trying this game using Steam Play. The game works well (needs the PROTON_NO_ESYNC option to work), but has some graphical glitches here and there.

Here's a screenshot of the glitches, taken at the end of the first level:

The logs should be where the .exe resides. For issues like these, you should record a trace on Windows if you can.

Please record an apitrace, can't do anything without being able to reproduce the bug locally. Also, please test with Mesa 18.2 and LLVM 7 first.

I don't have Windows, so recording an apitrace will be impossible. Can I do it on Linux?

I haven't checked the Proton docs, is there a command I should issue to record an apitrace?

Thanks!

I've read the dxvk wiki and found the DLL to do the apitrace, I'll try ASAP!

Is this even a D3D11 game? All info I can find indicates that it is in fact D3D9 only.

Darksiders II was DX9 only but remastered Deathinitive Edition should have DX11: https://steamdb.info/app/388410/config/

Are you starting it with the -dx11 flag that is mentioned at steamdb? Could be worth a try.

Sorry for the delay in my reply, returning from work I did some testing.
First of all, the game has different renders: DX9, DX11, OpenGL. The DX9 is the default renderer.

To enable the OpenGL renderer I set these launch options: PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 %command% -gl

To enable the DirectX11renderer I set these launch options: PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 %command% -dx11

OpenGL renderer works well, has the same glitches that the DX9. The DirectX11 renderer fails to start: a window appears with the message "Could not read your game shader library located ...".

Playing with video settings I discovered the source of the problem: antialiasing. If set to OFF or to MAX, there are no visual glitches, other than that causes the problems you can see into my image.

So, apart from the DX11 renderer not working at all, this is definitely not a DXVK issue.

I haven't time to test the game on a vanilla WINE.

So, apart from the DX11 renderer not working at all, this is definitely not a DXVK issue.

Closing then. If the Dx11 renderer is not officially supported for the game, it's better to use the default Dx9 path anyway because there might be similar issues as with the OpenGL path.

I have tried pretty much everything to get this game to work. It keeps crashing after the videos for the companies involved are done playing. I have tried different Wine versions, and even switched distros to see if that is the problem. I am currently trying to get it to run on Manjaro with an NVIDIA graphics card. Maybe because this is the Epic Games Store version through Heroic that I am having issues.
