The Finals fails to launch on Intel Arc with DX12

[Vinjul1704]

The Finals fails to launch on Intel Arc with DX12 (default). After the initial EAC splash screen, the main game window opens and stays as a black screen for a few seconds, before simply closing. During that black screen, the CPU usage spikes and after a handful attempts of launching the game, it doesn't even get to the black screen anymore and simply crashes right after the EAC splash screen.

Using the -dx11 launch argument works to get the game running, however there is no graphics API selection offered by the game itself and it's unclear if that option is intended to be enabled and might go away at some point.

According to other Proton reports, it seems to work fine with DX12 on other GPUs.

If it works on AMD/Nvidia, you should probably rather report this issue on the Mesa bugtracker and not here. However, this is probably just another case of any game supporting XeSS upscaling crashing on Intel on linux if you don't report a non-Intel vulkan verdor. Try force_vk_vendor="-1" as environment variable.

Thanks, looks like force_vk_vendor="-1" does indeed work. I'll make a Mesa report as well then, as you suggested.

You can close this one, there is nothing that vkd3d-proton can do about it.
