When I launch GRID 2 from Steam (got it for free from Humble) using DXVK (tried Proton and Lutris' Windows Steam with latest DXVK), the game is stuck on a black screen. Doesn't launch with WineD3D either.
In a d3d11 log, an interesting error pops up:

err:   D3D11: Cannot create texture:
  Format:  88
  Extent:  205679679x2098426539x1
  Samples: 1
  Layers:  1
  Levels:  1
  Usage:   8
  Flags:   0

System information

  • GPU: Nvidia GTX 1070
  • Driver: 418.43
  • Wine version: tkg-4.3
  • DXVK version: 1.0.1

Apitrace file(s)

Note: this apitrace was recorded on computer with Windows 7 and a pretty old card with a very outdated driver (as newer ones result in BSODs). And while it loaded the main menu and prompted to start a new game just fine, it got stuck on a loading screen, so the actual gameplay wasn't traced.

This can be fixed with nodvd but steam show same error in my case

As I mentioned on Discord:

D3D11 has a max 2D texture width/height of 16384 and and 3D of 2048 w/h/d.

Since then, I have verified the behavior of this in native d3d11:
If any of the dimensions exceeds the values listed above, E_INVALIDARG is returned.

Probably won't fix the issue but would mimic native behaviour better maybe? 🤷‍♂️

Edit: I made this at 3AM and realised it probably won't help at all. Oops.

I tried to run versions of this game from Steam (wine and proton) for a few hours, unfortunately without success.
There are several videos on Youtube that have worked (DXVK), but not from the Steam version.

It doesn't start on my end, not in Lutris, nor in Steam+proton. I get:

[0318/233958.239:ERROR:angle_platform_impl.cc(54)] populateRenderer11DeviceCaps(906): Error querying driver version from DXGI Adapter.

System information

  • GPU: Nvidia GTX 1070
  • Driver: 418.49.4
  • Wine version: tkg-4.4
  • DXVK master up-to-date

Log files

  • Lutris log here.
  • DXVK logs are empty.

EDIT: The game seems to be running in background, but no window is created.

@Zeioth that message comes from Steam (specifically, CEF), not the game.

If you want to run this game (stem ver.), read this:

@doitsujin this is not a problem with dxvk

I think Pierre-Loup has mentioned CEG being an issue before -- not sure what the status is on that though.

Tested and it's a DRM issue:

Unfortunately, I'm stuck on the "check for DLC" screen, but it's not an issue with DXVK.

Can be closed.
