Flickering on MTA (Multi Theft Auto) Client #3413

in Fullscreen the game is practically unplayable with low fps and constant flickering to work around this it is necessary to leave the client in windowed mode

getting MTA running is a bit tricky but here's how to run it:

MTA:SA will only work in GTA:SA v1.0
there is an error when trying to run the client on linux to resolve this it is necessary to run the server for a few seconds and close so that it can validate your computer as a user perhaps
here is the tutorial to run the server: https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Installing_and_Running_MTASA_Server_on_GNU_Linux

Try with current master as this might already have been fixed. You can download here https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/actions/runs/4949140079 The apitrace doesn't contain anything sadly. If it's just a few KB that means it didnt work

Blisto91 commented 1 year ago

The newly released 2.2 is also fine to test with

That apitrace is useless unfortunately. It's practically empty.

See if "https://github.com/SirSAC/dxvk/actions/runs/5000894491" have the same effect on the client.

K0bin commented 1 year ago

@SirSAC There's no way that altering a couple of build flags will make any difference here and I would appreciate it if you didn't spam that under any open issues you come across.

d3d9.deferSurfaceCreation = 1 as a workaround fixes the issue, at least on borderless windowed mode (which is enabled by default). Standard fullscreen crashes for some reason.

Log: gta_sa_log.txt

Log with standard fullscreen: gta_sa_defer_fs_log.txt I even tried ANV driver just in case if it's a driver bug. Same thing. Fortunately it will show dialog about switching back to borderless windowed after several crashes (like if it was mod issue and not DXVK itself) I'm also missing some patches like child window or shared resources, which maybe can cause the crash.

I can't manage to make apitrace at all. Mod has weird anti-cheat which blocks everything in game path and just loads d3d9.dll from SysWOW64. Maybe someone with Windows rig will help here.

Okey so I managed to get traces with wined3d and dxvk (crashing). Sadly the crash doesnt reproduce with dxvk on replay of the wined3d trace.

Maybe the flickering was resolved. I tested it on wine 8.14 with the latest version of dxvk and I was able to navigate the menus without the screen constantly blinking. If anyone can test, confirm if the bug has been resolved as well.
