Hello,
The game runs without any graphical problems but it have very low performance. It runs with 10-12 FPS.

Software information

Black The Fall
I tried to stop nvapi hack to no avail.

System information

  • GPU: NVIDIA GTX 1080Ti
  • Driver: 415.27
  • Wine version: 4.1 Staging
  • DXVK version: 0.96

Apitrace file(s)

The game crashes when it reaches the main menu when I try to get an apitrace. However a ~60MB file was created:

Do you have access to a Windows system to record an apitrace? The trace you got out of the game is completely useless since it ends before the game actually starts.

Unfortunately no :( I don't use Windows 15 years already.

  • Are you using Proton?
  • Does esync work?
  • What's your CPU?
  • Can you check whether you are CPU bound or GPU bound?
  • Does the game run faster with wined3d?

  1. I tried it with latest Proton but the FPS are even lower - 3-5 or so.
  2. Yes I tried with esync.
  3. My CPU is Intel 3770.
  4. I don't know how bur I'll try to check it out. What export DXVK options do you like?
  5. No it's the same. I just forgot to mention.

4. What export DXVK options do you like?

DXVK cannot tell you whether you are CPU bound, you have to open the Nvidia settings, one of the tabs shows GPU utilization (along with memory utilization etc.)

5. No it's the same. I just forgot to mention.

Then this is very likely not an issue with DXVK or wined3d, but something else. Please file a Proton bug instead.

I started the game in virtual desktop and check the system load - it seems the GPU and CPU are barely used:
22

I just wonder why file a Proton bug but not Wine?

Hm, interesting. Can you post the full wine log?

I just wonder why file a Proton bug but not Wine?

You're more likely to get help there than on the wine bug tracker, since Proton focusses on game compatibility.

I just read the log and it seems missing vcrun2015. I installed it and now the game runs with ~110 FPS. Thank you very much and I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused.
Best regards!
