Elden Ring crashes after patch 1.04

[marelons1337]

Hi, Elden Ring used to work somehow well(it sometimes crashed randomly on start) but since new patch it doesn't start at all. I've noticed this error in the console everytime it crashes, could that be an issue? Assertion failed: swapchain->vk_acquire_semaphores_signaled[swapchain->frame_id], file ../src-vkd3d-proton/libs/vkd3d/swapchain.c, line 1860

What if you use a release build with assertions disabled? The game still works fine here.

[marelons1337]

Hey, thanks for quick answer, I'm not sure how to do that. I run the game with these settings

__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1  __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia DXVK_ASYNC=1 DXVK_STATE_CACHE=1 PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 PROTON_USE_SECCOMP=1 VKD3D_CONFIG=no_upload_hvv,single_queue gamemoderun %command%

Where did you get your vkd3d-proton build from? It's obviously being built in debug mode when it shouldn't be.

That said, if this assertion ever triggers, something is going seriously wrong somewhere.

I might have messed up a few packages here and there as I was basically installing most of them manually when tried to run Witcher 3 in Lutris. I only used proton for God of War and Elden Ring now and I don't remember getting it from anywhere, I think I just installed it with steam.

Looked over the WSI code and I don't understand how that code path can be hit. __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 is weird. Are you running on a laptop with PRIME here? 1660 Ti would suggest no.

Maybe it's useful, I tested on Win10 (AMD Software 22.4.1) and got the same error. I'm using VC++ 2022 runtime.

It can be a PRIME setup, yes. This is exactly how DXVK detects GTX 1660 Ti Mobile on my laptop:

I've tried almost all combinations of launch settings I could find and this one used to work correctly. I had some crashes on startup every once in a while but other than that it was fine. Now if I'm understanding correctly steam proton got it's own build of vkd3d-proton. Can I just build it from the source according to installation guide here and if yes where should that be?

[HansKristian-Work]

I'll try to reproduce this.

[marelons1337]

From browsing logs a little bit deeper I think that it's some sort of problem with Vulkan but I am unsure. Perhaps a log of an event where game starts and crashes would help? In logs it's line ~34218 steam-1245620.log

[HansKristian-Work]

I cannot reproduce this on NVIDIA 470.62.26 on desktop at least.

[HansKristian-Work]

This should be fixed on master now after the latest wsi-robustness merges.
