Gothic and Gothic II: Gold Edition crash on startup, whether D9VK is used or not.

Logs? Apitrace?

If it crashes without D9VK then it's not a D9VK issue.

Gothic 1 uses Direct3D7. Gothic 2 used Direct3D8.1.

So this has nothing to do with D9VK.

Sorry for the confusion. Gothic 2 still crashes at startup even when d3d8to9 is installed, so it’s an issue with Wine/Proton.

FYI both Gothics are DX7. They only use ddraw, so d3d8to9 is of no use. dgVoodoo2 works, but it's slower than wind3d. Crashes are caused by dmusic.

@neVERberleRfellerER PCGamingWiki says it’s DX8 (https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/List_of_DirectX_8_games), but it crashes whether or not d9vk or wined3d is used, so I think it’s an issue with Wine/Proton.

There’s a DX11 mod for Gothic 1/2 I’m going to try when I get home from work to see if it launches with DX11.
