I ran the game last night with ProtonGE and i didn't have any issues in cutscenes, can you can you try GE?

[DomiStyle]

@cyberphantom52 It's only the intro cutscene that flickers (the logos before the main menu).

Just did more testing:

• Proton Experimental: Works with flickering cutscene
• GE-Proton7-37: Blackscreen on launch (can only hear the intro song)
• Proton 7.0-4: Blackscreen on launch (can only hear the intro song)

Starting the game with mangohud crashes it.

• Driver/LLVM version: Mesa 22.1.7

• [x] that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available.

Symptoms

Intro and tutorial videos flicker black, and also some tutorial videos display a test pattern.

Reproduction

• Launch game, the very first studio logo videos flicker
• While in game hit the "i" key to bring up the skills menu, however over the skills to see the tutorial videos

System Information

• GPU: AMD RX 5700
• Driver/LLVM version: Mesa 23.0.0-rc4
• Kernel version: 6.2.0-0.rc6.20230202git9f266ccaa2f5.46.fc38.x86_64
• Proton version: experimental-bleeding-edge-7.0-34887-20230204

Symptoms

Re-tested the game and the intro and tutorial videos now play back properly, without the flickering or test patterns. The only remaining minor problem I see is that the skill tutorial videos do not loop as they probably should.

Reproduction

• While in game hit the "i" key to bring up the skills menu, hover the mouse pointer over a skill. And watch the tutorial video to the end.

In the logs I did spot "fixme:mfplat:media_engine_SetLoop", I guess that is related to the tutorial video looping not working.

System Information

• GPU: AMD RX 5700 XT
• Driver/LLVM version: Mesa 22.3.6, LLVM 15.0.7
• Kernel version: 6.2.5-arch1-1 x86_64
• Proton version: experimental-7.0-20230313

Symptoms

Bottleneck while running the game, it seems that the game just can't go below 30ms frame-time. This causes the game to run at max ~35 fps no matter what settings/resolution I set up. Decreasing graphics fidelity causes GPU usage to drop, but fps/frame-time stay the same.

I also get only 20 fps in the main menu.

Reproduction

Run the game.

Attempted fixes

Tried using stable proton (black screen) and proton GE (same issue). Tried a variety of launch options as recommended at protonDB, however nothing worker.

The game is installed on a NVME drive, there is enough GPU VRAM/system RAM available and the CPU isn't the bottleneck.

Logs

Footage

@isitcrazythough I can see from your screenshot that you are using amdvlk as a vulkan driver and not mesa. Amdvlk has terrible performance with all d3d12 games, so this is the issue here. You should install vulkan-radeon and lib32-vulkan-radeon, and uninstall amdvlk and lib32-amdvlk.

[isitcrazythough]

Oh wow, you are right. Thanks for that, saved me there. :+1:

I've been having an issue where the screen consistently freezes for a few seconds whenever I close the game, and then I get the message wine64-preloader quit unexpectedly.

Specs Proton: Experimental (probably close to 7.0-6,but this issue was also present in GE Proton 51) OS: Fedora Linux 37 Kernel: 6.1.14-200.fc37.x86_64 CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7700x GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Super

Here's the message Gnome keeps giving, and unfortunately I am unable to automatically report the issue through the Problem Reporting app.

[cachandlerdev]

Unrelated to the previous problem I mentioned, the game also seems to have an issue with the mouse in the menus, as the on-screen cursor moves down several pixels whenever the user clicks a button or scrolls the mouse wheel.

[MekaDragon]

This game (among others like Armored Core VI and The Talos Principle 2) are crashing to desktop on my rig randomly. I've tried several things like changing lots of Proton versions, disabling and enabling SAM or even disabling MangoHUD. None work.

Everytime it crashes, it registers a new seh:dispatch_exception EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION exception (code=c0000005) raised in the logs.

Log: steam-1182900.log My computer: https://gist.github.com/MekaDragon/ae7e3702f9e395b265577dac5bd782cf

I don't know what else to try, but this is really annoying, and it's preventing me to even enjoy games.
