I can reproduce crashes with both Proton GE 9-15 and Experimental bleeding-edge. steam-1128920_crash_logs.zip

Here's a save file that has reliably caused a crash: ES2_save_file_cutscene.zip Save folder is /compatdata/1128920/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Local Settings/Application Data/ES2/Saved/SaveGames/ After reaching the target there's a cutscene (which doesn't render), then the game crashes about a minute or two after poking around in the menu for a bit.

That crash looks like it's in game code, not related to d3d12.

It might be related to video decoding somehow, since the crash happens on the thread shortly after the thread is named to "ElectraPlayer::Video decoder".

Today a patch popped up that judging from the changelog appears to address this specific issue: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1128920/view/4454716818605474350

Patch 1.3.43751 Bugfixes:

Fixed NVIDIA DLSS Frame Generation memory leak
(Linux) Fixed video playback issues on Proton DX12

OlegAckbar commented 2 weeks ago

I think I need to update the situation surrounding these issues:

Video playback wasn't broken already in 20th of October. I guess it was fixed with some GE-Proton version that grabbed latest vkd3d, can't say which GE-Proton it was unfortunately
Huge VRAM consumption is still a thing, especially in location Vesna Mining Station where it reaches 12 GiB on my RX 6700XT and probably leaking to RAM afterward, but I can't confirm that it's indeed a VKD3D issue and not game's itself.
