Max Payne 3 (204100)

[Houtworm]

The game runs fine, But it stays at initializing forever, I think it has something to do with the Social Club. Arch Linux Nvidia 396.54

Max Payne 3 ERR_D3D_GFX_NOD3DX1_4

Issue transferred from https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/805. @RBFraphael posted on 2018-08-28T04:39:49:

When I try to run Max Payne 3, I got an pop-up that says "Unrecoverable error. Please restart the game." and this pop-up's title says "ERR_D3D_GFX_NOD3DX1_4". I've tried to run the game with this command DRI_PRIME=1 %command% -dx9 to force using my dedicated graphics card (because I'm on a laptop with two gpus - processor's integrated and a dedicated gpu) and DirectX 9 (according to Rockstar's official post here. So, how can I run Max Payne 3?

UPDATE:

Game runs fine with this Launch Options: DRI_PRIME=1 PROTON_USE_WINED3D11=1 %command%

But stays on "Initializing" screen and Social Club process is not opened (checked with Gnome System Monitor)

[edenist]

I've experienced the same issues as @RBFraphael.

System specs: AMD FX-8140 32GB DDR3 Memory AMD RX580 8GB - Mesa 18.0.5 Ubuntu 18.04 - kernel 4.15.0-24

I just realised I am only on 18.0.5, I mustn't have installed 18.2 after installing a fresh copy of ubuntu 18.04. I'll install 18.2 from padoka tonight and retry, though I don't know if it is the cause of the issue.

I too was able to launch the game with DRI_PRIME=1 PROTON_USE_WINED3D11=1 %command% But then am stuck at Initializing screen.

I am fairly confident this is an issue with the Social Club, as it is even an issue with Windows installations as well.

I was able to at least set some sane display settings to help, by editing the file at /path/to/steam-library/steamapps/compatdata/204100/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/My Documents/Rockstar Games/Max Payne 3/graphics.xml I set fullscreen=1 and display resolution to 1920x1080.

I have tried modifying the DirectXVersion setting but it didn't resolve the issue.

There have also been issues with the social club reported for GTAV. I have tried some of their solutions, such as installing corefonts in the wineprefix with the command: WINEPREFIX=/path/to/steam-library/steamapps/compatdata/204100/pfx winetricks corefonts

This also had no affect on the issue.

The logfile for social club is located at path/to/steam-library/steamapps/compatdata/204100/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/My Documents/Rockstar Games/Social Club/socialclub.log It contains some interesting information.

Here is mine:

I wonder if we can set 'Offline only mode' to true?

Worst-case scenario, I wonder if we may need to copy over profile data from a windows installation?

[kisak-valve]

Hello @edenist, please use a gist or other pastebin service for large pastes from now on.

[AndroiDreams]

It is a problem with the installation folder. An old problem. Under Windows it must be installed under 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steamapps\Common\Max Payne 3' which means under linux steam it must be 'home/username/.steam/steamapps/compatdata/204100/pfx/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Max Payne 3/' but it is installed in: 'home/username/.steam/steamapps/common/Max Payne 3' i tried to hardlink the complete Max Payne 3 folder. It doesnt work. i tried to go in wine registry and change [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Rockstar Games\Max Payne 3] to the right folder, but steam or the game is changing it every start back to default.

[adojck]

With new Proton version 3.16-5 I can confirm that game runs fine and is playable. Minor issues with mouse, but using controller lets avoid them.

Maybe someone already has a fix for random mouse locking?

[RBFraphael]

Still not working for me :( @adojck have you done something (a command line params or file or whatever)?

[adojck]

@RBFraphael I have not done anything for Max Payne 3 specifically, but I had done few things on my system, to run other games, which might have affected Max Payne 3 too.

First thing I did was edit DefaultLimitNOFILE var in /etc/systemd/user.conf and /etc/systemd/system.conf and set its value to 1048576. This fix let me play Grand Theft Auto V with high settings without any issues.

Another fix was to switch libgnutls in Steam Runtime with a newer version, to get Uplay working, but anyway none of Uplay games works for me :(

I am using Arch Linux with NVIDIA binary drivers 415.25 if that helps in any way... Proton version 3.16-5, today updated to 3.16-6 and still works with same mouse problem.

As I don't enjoy playing shooters with Steam Controller, I really would like to hear someone who had fixed this mouse problem :) any suggestions what I could try are also very welcome

[andrew-mcmahon]

Picked up Max Payne 3 Complete; seems to work more or less perfectly on my end with no special tweaking/workarounds required. Proton 3.16-7. I briefly tried out my XBOX360 pad which works but I play with keyboard and mouse.

Performance isn't quite what it was under Windows but it's still very respectable; any modern CPU (Ryzen/Intel Core) shouldn't have an issue with framerate dips which my screenshots don't show. DX9 is virtually unusable.

The biggest problem is a disappearing mouse cursor when interacting with the Rockstar Social Club especially if I use ALT-TAB to switch between windows. Thankfully it's really only needed to register multiplayer DLC once through the in-game shop - I used a Rockstar Pass to unlock the lot.

I don't experience any abnormal issues with the mouse whilst in-game - I'm able to run around and shoot accurately. I don't see any serious graphical issues either. Very playable. Impressive.

[DomenicF]

@adojck I fixed the mouse locking issue by disabling my second monitor in nvidia-settings. I hope this works for you as well.

[random2324]

So the game does actually work with proton 3.16-9 without any probs, even DXVK works with that version. There are some graphical issues with certain settings however.

Now, the first time I tried with current proton versions, the game cant find Directx Setup files, thus cant complete its first time setup. Rockstar Social Club is also missing because of that.

But for some reason, after I deleted compat folder 204100, things were different. The game finishes now its initial setup but nothing happens after that. Steam says the game runs, but it doesnt. You have to kill the wineserver and restart steam. Doing so let the game start.

Edit: Seems the game actually launches just fine using proton 4.11-8. And even my custom proton versions work till 4.18. But 4.20 causes a crash with DXVK.

steam-204100.log

Edit 2: Now tested with proton-tkg 4.20 r7 (build of today) and DXVK 1.4.5 - no crash, everything works.

[kingsly]

There's been a regression.

In the latest versions of Steam Play/Proton, the game doesn't have audio. (Despite winecfg successfully playing the test sound.)

Last working version 5.0-10.

Both version newer than that don't play sound.( ie 5.13-5 and Experimental )

It's probably something game specific because winecfg successfully plays the audio test sound.

[kisak-valve]

Hello @kingsly, please add PROTON_LOG=1 %command% to the game's launch options, reproduce the regression, and attach the generated $HOME/steam-$APPID.log to this issue report as a file. (Proton logs compress well if needed.) Also, please copy your system information from Steam (Steam -> Help -> System Information) and put it in a gist, then include a link to the gist in this issue report.

[jarrard]

This game works fine for me, except when I turn on Tessellation it causes the polygons to go missing and/or flicker. I think I remember seeing similar thing in other games long time ago such as Witcher3...

Anyone know a fix. Using AMDGPU (6800xt) RADV MESA here.

Doesn't happen with PROTON_USE_WINED3D11=1, which suggests its a DXVK issue.

[kisak-valve]

Hello @jarrard, can you grab a screenshot of the misrendering and share it? Also, please copy your system information from Steam (Steam -> Help -> System Information) and put it in a gist, then include a link to the gist in this issue report.

[jarrard]

I will, and a Linux apitrace via the wrapper method.

GIST https://gist.github.com/jarrard/83901432e10599bab09c96d6ba471f0d

Steam log with dxvk steam-204100.log

Relevant https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/issues/2202

The polygons of the character at main menu dance around wildly. Only happens with Tessellation enabled (disabled by default). Only happens with DXVK, not WineD3D11, also amdvlk driver does not fix the issue.

[kisak-valve]

Thanks, one more quick thing to check. Can you disable vkBasalt and confirm that that doesn't have an effect on the issue you're seeing?

[jarrard]

VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/amd_icd32.json:/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/amd_icd64.json %command%

This fixes the issue; it seems this is indeed YET ANOTHER RADV related issue. lol

Yes MANGOHUD and Basalt don't hurt this game, just RADV being broken as usual.

[hakzsam]

@jarrard Are you still able to reproduce?

[jarrard]

With RADV? probably. I reverting back to 21.5 or something MESA not long ago. It may be fixed in upstream mesa, I'll test it sometime.

[hakzsam]

Yes, with RADV.
